Full summary
Broken Hill Gold Ltd (ASX: BH6) is pleased to provide an update on current exploration of near-mine targets on the Company's 100% owned White Dam Gold- Copper Project in South Australia's Curnamona Province. The Company is conducting induced polarisation (IP) and magnetic geophysics surveys to define key sulphide targets. The geophysics program also includes coverage of Vertigo, White Dam East, Mary Mine, Green & Gold, and Wilkins prospects. A second drill rig is mobilizing to site to test the Icebreaker Au-Cu sulphide zone at depth post completion of the geophysics program and interpretation of results. Drilling is also planned at depth beneath the Vertigo and Hannaford pits to test high-priority Au-Cu sulphide targets. The Company will continue with progressing near-term oxide production tasks required to restart mining while drilling out existing oxide resources and near mine targets including Rolling, Hannaford East, and Icebreaker. The second area of key focus is the ongoing evaluation and evolution of sulphide hosted potential at all White Dam prospects including Icebreaker, Vertigo, Hannaford, and regional targets including Mary Mine and Wadnaminga.
