What drill results did Musgrave Minerals report?
Musgrave Minerals shares are surging after the company reported additional high grade gold assay results from the reverse circulation (RC) drilling program at its New White Heat Prospect.
The White Heat prospect is situated on Musgrave's wholly owned Cue Gold Project in Western Australia.
The company highlighted the following results from 3 of the RC drill holes:
- 11m at 19.6g/t Au from 48m (21MORC039) including: 2m at 94.0 g/t Au from 48m
- 21m at 7.4g/t Au from 64m (21MORC040) including: 1m at 35.9g/t Au from 64m; and 12m at 9.9g/t Au from 73m including: 1m at 84.5g/t Au from 83m
- 2m at 6.5g/t Au from 134m (21MORC041)
Commenting on the drill results, Musgrave Managing Director Rob Waugh said:
These high-grade, near surface gold results from White Heat further highlight the discovery potential of the project. Exploration is continuing to deliver strong results and add value for our shareholders. Drilling will resume at White Heat in a few weeks as we continue to define the limits and plunge of the mineralisation.
At a regional level, we are continuing to drill to better define the new gold corridor 800 metres west of Lena that is continuing to produce high-grade gold results in previously undrilled areas.
Waugh added that investors can expect regular news from the continuing test drilling over the coming months.
