• Strong zones of gold mineralisation intersected at McNabs East Prospect, including 25m @ 2.43g/t Au and 0.3m @ 109.89g/t Au
• Extensive zone of gold mineralisation remains open along strike and untested down plunge to the east
• Wide-spaced RC drilling identified a significant shallow intercept ~1km east of The Furnace prospect

Ordell Minerals Limited (ASX: ORD) has announced further significant assay results from recent diamond and Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling at its Barimaia Gold Project. The diamond drilling completed at McNabs East has been successful in extending the strike and plunge extent of the mineralisation to the east. Key results include 25m @ 2.43g/t Au from 175m including 0.3m @ 109.89g/t Au from 175.4m, 35m @ 0.90g/t Au from 104m including 18m @ 1.27g/t Au from 121m, 33m @ 0.87g/t Au from 108m including 7m @ 2.32g/t Au from 132m, and 18m @ 1.46g/t Au from 203m. The extensive zone of gold mineralisation continues to be expanded with wide zones of gold mineralisation returned from the eastern side of McNabs East, which remains open along strike and untested down the interpreted plunge of the mineralisation to the east. Wide-spaced first-pass shallow RC drilling completed over the recently extended Barimaia Intrusion also returned a significant shallow intercept of 5m @ 3.06g/t Au from 25m approximately 1km east of The Furnace prospect, opening up a potential new drill target. Ordell plans to continue expanding the large zone of gold mineralisation at McNabs East, with drilling targeting high-grade mineralisation within the potential down-plunge extensions across the entire +200m wide granodiorite intrusion host rock. Additional RC and air-core drilling is also planned to test between McNabs and McNabs East prospects, the felsic intrusion in the hanging wall of McNabs East, and to follow up anomalous gold zones and felsic intrusion identified by wide-spaced air-core drilling.
