- Drilling aimed to define mineralisation between historic drilling
- Results will be included in a planned maiden resource estimate
Full summary
Tambourah Metals Ltd (ASX:TMB) has announced the results of recent RC drilling at the Tambourah Gold Project, located 90 km southwest of Marble Bar, Western Australia. The drilling program, which comprised 17 holes for 2,292m, targeted the mineralised lode system at Tambourah King. Seven of the 11 holes intersected the targeted lode position, with the best results including 4m at 3.59g/t Au from 109m in TBRC26030, 1m at 5.15g/t Au from 88m in TBRC26005, 3m at 1.33g/t Au from 27m in TBRC26007, and 3m at 1.81g/t Au from 123m in TBRC26032. These results have reduced the drill hole spacing to 20-30m and provided important geological information. The results will be included in a planned maiden resource estimate for Tambourah King. Additionally, shallow intercepts from exploration RC drilling at Western Chief included 3m at 4.33g/t Au from 33m in TBRC26010, 3m at 5.88g/t Au from 39m in TBRC26008, and 3m at 1.16g/t Au from 54m in TBRC26013.
Outlook
The company expects the project to develop in terms of scale as more of the 16 other gold prospects within the Goldfield are drilled. Positive results from the diamond drilling program at Beatty Park Sth may accelerate and expand the drilling program at the Bryah projects.
