Icon Continues Rapid Growth with High-Grade Gold Intercepts
Key points
- Icon's mineralised system extends over 1 km with depths exceeding 500 m.
- Multiple stacked high-grade gold lenses identified, averaging 30-50 m in width.
- Remaining 2 km of the trend shows potential for further high-grade lenses.
Full summary
Benz Mining Corp. has reported impressive results from its Icon gold camp, part of the Glenburgh Gold Project in Western Australia. The company's systematic drilling has delineated a 100-200 m-wide mineralised system across the first 1 km of the known 3 km trend, with mineralisation extending to depths exceeding 500 m. The system comprises multiple stacked high-grade gold lenses, with individual lenses averaging approximately 30-50 m in width, surrounded by a substantial mineralised halo. Highlights include significant gold intercepts such as 46 m at 6.5 g/t Au and 42 m at 3.0 g/t Au. Benz's structural modelling suggests structurally controlled thickening of mineralisation down plunge, reinforcing the potential for further stacked high-grade gold lenses. The company is now focusing on completing the baseline drill-out across Glenburgh, with the maiden Mineral Resource Estimate targeted for Q1 2027.
Outlook
The company anticipates further substantial drilling updates as the true scale of Icon continues to emerge, with potential to significantly increase the scale of the Icon gold camp.
