CENTRAL IRON ORE LIMITED QAQC of All Assays Data
Assay results for all 2,812 samples submitted during the 2023 Q4 South Darlot Gold Project RC drilling campaign have been received from ALS Kalgoorlie. The quality of the assay results for all the drilling is considered satisfactory with the required Quality Assurance and Quality Control (QAQC) processes having been completed with all results meeting industry standard.
Drilling Assay Result Interpretation
Interpretation of the assay results has indicated significant mineralisation with further drilling recommended to extend the new mineralised outline both at depth and laterally being planned.
New Targets
Drilling Assay Result Interpretation
Interpretation of the assay results has begun with significant gold anomalism having been identified at the Sylvia & Kyneton and Weebo North prosects. Further exploratory drilling is currently being planned at the Sylvia & Kyneton and Weebo North targets.
Sylvia and Kyneton
High grade gold mineralisation has been identified in a one- to two-meter-wide fractured quartz vein and its associated wall rock contact zones. A low grade (up to 2 g/t) mineralisation halo is often found in altered wall rock around the auriferous vein.
Several significant intercepts from the program include: 23SKRC_002: 1m @ 3.26g/t from 19 meters 23SKRC_004: 1m @ 9.3g/t from 25 meters 23SKRC_007: 5m @ 3.63g/t from 36 meters 23SKRC_008: 6m @ 1g/t from 38 meters
Weebo North
Drilling at Weebo North has confirmed high grade gold mineralisation in an area previously not tested by RC drilling. Gold mineralisation occurs in two distinct, near perpendicularly intersecting lodes; both lodes are characterised by very dark grey to near black vein quartz with minor amounts of sulphide mineralisation being present.
Significant interests from the program include: 23WNRC_002: 3m @ 3.34g/t from 19 meters 23WNRC_005: 1m @ 16.1g/t from 20 meters and 3m @ 16.16g/t from 36 meters
23WNRC_006: 1m @ 8.16g/t from 28 meters
The results of the initial drilling at Sylvia and Kyneton and Weebo North have been largely positive. The drilling has indicated a degree of continuity of mid to high-grade mineralisation at shallow depths which historical drilling failed to identify effectively and in doing so, has delivered significant upside potential to the South Darlot project.
The auriferous lodes at both Sylvia and Kyneton and Weebo North remain open at depth and laterally. Follow up drilling testing the extent of the extension is being planned currently.
