SAM results support upcoming RC and diamond drilling
- SAM geophysical survey provides valuable insights to guide RC drill planning at Pinjin
- Largest RC drill program to commence in mid-September, testing over 1.6 km of strike at Lighthorse
- Diamond drilling at Kirgella Gift and Providence to commence soon
Kalgoorlie Gold Mining Ltd (ASX:KAL) is pleased to report that data from its recent high-resolution Sub-Audio Magnetics (SAM) geophysical survey has been received and integrated into the company's existing datasets. The data has provided valuable insights to help guide and refine targets for an extensive RC follow up drilling program at the Pinjin Gold Project. The SAM survey covered approximately 9.5 square kilometres, encompassing the Lighthorse, T12 and T15 prospects, and the Kirgella Gift and Providence gold deposits. Initial review and analysis of the magnetometric conductivity data highlights extensive zones of elevated relative conductivity throughout the survey area that commonly correlate with known gold mineralisation and anomalism. The spatial distribution of these conductivity features provides a much-improved understanding of the structural architecture associated with gold anomalism and mineralisation. This information has been integrated with existing geophysical and structural datasets and used to help refine follow up RC drill targets across the Lighthorse corridor. An extensive RC drill program comprising 50 holes for approximately 6,200 m is scheduled to commence in mid-September 2025. This will include 40 holes for 4,750 m at Lighthorse, testing over 1.6 km of strike, 7 holes for 1,050 m at Wessex as an initial first pass test, and 3 holes for 400 m at Providence South. Additionally, KalGold has recently secured access to a reliable bulk water source to support diamond drilling activities, with a planned program of four holes for approximately 1,070 m expected to commence shortly at Kirgella Gift and Providence, subject to rig availability.
