Edjudina Range Gold Discovery Ready for First RC Drilling
- Latest aircore drilling extends newly discovered Edjudina Range Prospect, part of Solstice's Yarri Gold Project
- Significant new gold results including 5m @ 1.89g/t Au from 68m and 3m @ 4.27g/t Au from 80m
- Commercial grade gold mineralisation identified on three sections 200m apart, open along strike
Solstice Minerals has continued to expand the new Edjudina Range gold discovery within its Yarri Gold Project in Western Australia, with significant new aircore drilling results indicating the presence of a gold-bearing system extending over at least 800m of strike. The latest campaign of infill and step-out aircore drilling has returned new gold results including 5m @ 1.89g/t Au from 68m and 5m @ 0.50g/t Au from 64m. Further one metre resampling of prior aircore drilling has also confirmed the presence of significant gold grades, with results such as 3m @ 4.27g/t Au from 80m and 4m @ 1.53g/t Au from 48m. The aircore results indicate the presence of strong mineralisation at the limit of aircore penetration, further validating the discovery and warranting initial Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling. Solstice is currently undertaking a major RC drill program at the advanced Statesman Well and Bluetooth gold targets, and plans to mobilize the RC rig to Edjudina Range after this campaign. The Edjudina Range Prospect sits close to the middle of a 4km long soil-covered segment of host stratigraphy that will continue to be explored via further aircore drilling.
Solstice plans to mobilize the RC rig to Edjudina Range Prospect after the current Statesman Well and Bluetooth RC campaign to follow up the gold mineralization identified in the aircore drilling.
