Full Summary

Kalgoorlie Gold Mining Limited (ASX:KAL) has announced that its latest Reverse Circulation (RC) drill program is underway at the Pinjin Gold Project, located approximately 140 km northeast of Kalgoorlie-Boulder. The drill rig is mobilizing from Kalgoorlie and is expected to commence the first RC drill hole of the program at the Kirgella Gift deposit either later today or tomorrow morning. The program comprises 41 drill holes for a total of 6,850 m and will focus on the Kirgella Gift and Providence gold deposits, as well as the Lighthorse prospect. At the Kirgella Gift-Providence area, 22 holes for 3,600 m of focused infill and extensional drilling will be conducted within the bounds of the existing JORC Code (2012) Inferred Mineral Resource Estimate of 2.34 Mt @ 1.0 g/t Au for 76,000 oz. Additional selective drilling will also aim to extend the gold mineralization to the north and west, in support of an MRE update. At the Lighthorse prospect, 19 RC holes for 3,250 m of infill and extensional drilling will be undertaken to tighten previous RC coverage and test for extensions to the north co-incident with Sub-Audio Magnetic (SAM) magnetometric conductivity features. The program is expected to take approximately 6 weeks to complete. Preparations are also underway for planned diamond drilling at Kirgella Gift and first-pass aircore drilling over a distinct flexure in the Laverton Tectonic Zone to the east.
