Key points
- Wide, shallow high-grade gold and copper intervals found in sulphide mineralisation
- Significant bulk tonnage potential identified with mineralisation up to 90m thick
- Geophysics and further drilling planned to explore the full potential of the discovery
Full summary
Broken Hill Gold Ltd (ASX: BH6) has reported outstanding drill results from the Icebreaker prospect, part of the White Dam Gold Project in South Australia. The results indicate the presence of wide, shallow high-grade gold and copper intervals within sulphide mineralisation, with significant bulk tonnage potential. Key assays include 46m at 1.1 g/t Au and 0.3% Cu from 37m, and 28m at 2.4 g/t Au and 0.7% Cu from 93m. The mineralisation is open at depth, with several drillholes ending in mineralisation. The company plans to commence an extensive induced polarisation (IP) and magnetic geophysics programme before resuming RC and diamond drilling in September. The discovery highlights the potential for significant gold and copper sulphide mineralisation beneath the existing oxide zone, which could significantly enhance the project's value.
Outlook
The company is optimistic about the potential of the Icebreaker prospect and plans to continue exploring the full extent of the mineralisation through further drilling and geophysics.
