Key points
- 10m @ 10.15g/t Au intersection confirmed
- 1.0km x 1.2km mineralised system
- Results only cover initial 1.5km of 14km shear zone
- Imminent 15,000m RC drilling program planned
- Significant potential for further mineralisation
Full summary
Altair Minerals Limited has announced promising results from its maiden trenching program at the South Oko prospect, delivering significant gold intersections. The program, which included six deep trenches and three shallow trenches, confirmed a widespread and unconstrained mineralised system across a ~1.0km north-south by ~1.2km east-west footprint. The standout result was 10m @ 10.15g/t Au, ranking it as the fourth-highest 'grade x interval width' trench result along the Oko Shear Contact to date. The mineralisation is hosted within saprolite sheared volcanic sediments and remains open in all directions. Notably, the current trenching only covers an initial 1.5km section of the broader ~14km Oko Shear Contact, with significant potential for further mineralisation. An imminent 15,000m reverse circulation (RC) drilling program is planned to further test the extent of the mineralised system beneath the duricrust.
Outlook
Altair Minerals anticipates further exploration and drilling to define the full scale of the mineralised system at South Oko, with significant potential for high-grade gold discoveries.
