en.Wedoany.com Reported - Golden Dragon Mining (ASX:GDR) has intersected high-grade gold mineralization near surface during the second phase of reverse circulation (RC) drilling at the Behring Bore prospect within the Cue Gold Project in the Murchison Goldfields of Western Australia, boosting confidence in a larger gold system.
Drilling results show that hole 26BB041 returned 4 meters at 5.3 g/t gold from 48 meters depth, within a broader mineralized zone of 20 meters at 1.57 g/t gold from 40 meters depth, associated with a prominent northeast-trending quartz vein. Other notable results include: hole 26BB044 returned 12 meters at 1.07 g/t gold from 80 meters depth, including 4 meters at 2.13 g/t gold; and hole 26BB024 returned 8 meters at 2.92 g/t gold from 20 meters depth, including 4 meters at 5.5 g/t gold.
Gold mineralization at Behring Bore occurs in the upper portion of altered pyritic dolerite, with mineralization open to the north, south, and east. The company stated that the latest drilling confirms high-grade gold mineralization associated with northeast-trending quartz veins within a broader mineralized system.
Managing Director Simon Buswell-Smith said Behring Bore is rapidly emerging as a prominent gold prospect, with the latest results further confirming the scale of the system. High-grade gold mineralization hosted in altered pyritic dolerite continues to be intersected within a wider mineralized envelope, significantly enhancing confidence in the geological model. He noted that mineralization has now been confirmed in fresh rock and remains open to the east and south, areas that have not yet been drilled.
The 26-hole RC drilling program, totaling 2,102 meters, was designed to test east-dipping moderate gold vein targets in altered dolerite and newly identified northeast-trending high-grade quartz veins. Golden Dragon Mining said altered pyritic dolerite has been consistently intersected in the eastern sections of all drill lines, representing a priority target for follow-up exploration.
Behring Bore is located approximately 400 meters from Coodardy, where recent drilling returned 12 meters at 6.5 g/t gold from 44 meters depth, including 4 meters at 17.6 g/t gold. Mineralization at Coodardy has been defined over a strike length of approximately 500 meters and remains open to the north and south, supporting the potential for a broader gold system across both prospects.
Golden Dragon Mining is finalizing drilling designs for Behring Bore and has confirmed the availability of a drill rig in early July. The upcoming drilling program will target both Behring Bore and Coodardy, with a focus on better defining mineralization geometry and continuity, particularly along the eastern corridor extension.
Golden Dragon Mining (ASX:GDR) is exploring the Cue Gold Project in the Murchison region of Western Australia. The project includes granted exploration licenses, mining leases, and applications, which, if approved, would give the company control over approximately 619 square kilometers of prospective area. The project hosts over 50 kilometers of mineralized shear zones, providing multiple targets for systematic exploration and potential resource growth.
