en.Wedoany.com Reported - GoldArc Resources (ASX:GA8) has completed the first phase of grade control drilling at the Mt Stirling Gold Project in Western Australia, with assays revealing broad zones of gold mineralization.

Significant intersections from the Eastern Zone include: 21 meters at 2.36 g/t gold from 7 meters depth; 16 meters at 2.13 g/t gold from 1 meter depth, including 2 meters at 6.05 g/t gold. Other results show 16 meters at 2.35 g/t gold from 13 meters depth, including 2 meters at 6.88 g/t gold.

These grade control data will be directly used to update mining models and mine planning to support the anticipated approval of the mining and development closure plan. The company reported that 21,597 meters of a planned 34,000-meter reverse circulation drilling program have been completed, fully funded by BML Ventures under a 50/50 net profit sharing agreement.

GoldArc Resources Managing Director Paul Stephen said the completion of the first phase represents a "significant milestone" for the project. Stephen noted that results such as 21 meters at 2.36 g/t gold and 16 meters at 2.35 g/t gold (with high-grade intervals) continue to support the geological model established by the company in these rounds.

The company is now turning its attention to the adjacent Mt Stirling Well deposit, where an additional 20 holes totaling 480 meters have been completed, with assays confirming near-surface gold mineralization. Best intersections include: 1 meter at 6.06 g/t gold from 18 meters depth; 1 meter at 3.12 g/t gold from 22 meters depth.

GoldArc Resources is a mineral exploration company with a portfolio of gold projects in the Leonora and Kookynie regions of the Eastern Goldfields, focused on developing its 100%-owned Mt Stirling and Mt Stirling Well gold deposits in Western Australia.
