8m @ 14.8g/t Au - More High-Grade Gold at Turnberry South
- Thick high-grade drill results from Turnberry South including 8m @ 14.79g/t Au and 20m @ 3.57g/t Au
- Potential to grow the Resource and Reserves, and extend open pit mining beyond the initial ~2 years
- Ongoing RC drilling at Turnberry and first pass drilling in the prospective Fairway shear zone
Meeka Metals Ltd has reported further strong assays from Turnberry South drilling at the Murchison Gold Project. The new results include thick high-grade gold intersections that are likely to expand the Resource and extend open pit mining beyond the initial ~2 years previously planned. Significant drill results include 8m @ 14.79g/t Au from 44m, 20m @ 3.57g/t Au from 47m, and 10m @ 5.01g/t Au from 73m. The geological package at Turnberry South is largely comprised of fractionated dolerite with an ultramafic base, basalt and felsic volcaniclastics surrounded by siliciclastic sediments and shales. Structural interpretation suggests the mineralisation may be aligned along north-northeast trending fold axes that plunge sub-vertically in the southern part of Turnberry. The gold in this drilling sits along strike of the Stage 1 open pit, both to the north and to the southwest of the pit, which is currently in production. These drill results will be incorporated into an expanded grade control model and used to support the Stage 2 open pit design. Little drilling has been completed below these high-grade results (below ~100m depth) and mineralisation remains open at depth and along strike with strong growth potential. Drilling is ongoing, targeting the northern, central and southern Resource growth areas at Turnberry, as well as first pass drilling within a ~3km section of the broader ~20km Fairway shear zone that transects Meeka's tenure.
Ongoing resource growth drilling at Andy Well and Turnberry, and defining the pathway for a Murchison process plant expansion in the June 2026 quarter.
