Dundas Minerals Restarts Drilling at Rockland Gold Project in Western Australia

en.Wedoany.com Reported - On November 11, Australian company Dundas Minerals launched a new round of reverse circulation (RC) drilling at its Rockland Gold Project in Western Australia, with plans to drill approximately 6 holes for a total of about 700 meters. The project is located about 40 kilometers north of Kalgoorlie, with drilling focused on the southern drill section to further verify the extension of previously identified deep gold mineralization.

This drilling program primarily follows up on the assay results from hole 26RKRC011. That hole previously intersected a 12-meter mineralized interval at 168 meters depth averaging 1.25 g/t gold, including a 4-meter section grading 2.18 g/t gold; it also intersected a 4-meter section grading 4.87 g/t gold at 200 meters depth. Of the 8 holes previously completed by the company, 7 intersected gold mineralization above the reporting cutoff grade. The mineralized zone dips to the east and still has potential for extension at depth.

The new drilling round is being carried out by Nexgen Drilling using a tracked Schramm T450 RC rig. Holes will be positioned around the southern mineralized zone to further define the extension and spatial distribution of the mineralized body, providing data for subsequent resource estimation.

The Rockland Gold Project is located at the southern end of Dundas Minerals' Kalgoorlie Gold Project. The company holds a 100% interest in the tenement but is subject to a 1.5% net smelter return royalty. Previous drilling has outlined a gold mineralized zone approximately 1 kilometer long. The current program plans to complete about 700 meters of drilling, with assay results to be announced subsequently.
