Southern Gold Limited announced diamond drilling results from maiden drilling programme at Deokon Project, South Korea. Assays received from the maiden drilling at the `Bonanza Zone', Deokon Project, targeting beneath the outcrop which returned high grade gold and silver in surface samples. Scout drilling of 6 holes returned a peak assay of 0.15m at 4.59g/t Au and 708g/t Ag from 42.35m in drill hole DKDD004. Mineralisation has now been confirmed at depth in this new zone and significant potential remains along strike, within the broader project area and regionally across the basin. Assays for the maiden diamond drilling program at Deokon involving six scout diamond drill holes for 455.52m at `Bonanza Zone' have been received. This was a first pass drill program to test the high gold and silver grades seen in outcrop with close spaced drilling to determine the true width of the mineralised zone and gold and silver grade at depth. This scout programme has confirmed mineralisation at depth, albeit at lower grade tenor, with peak results from the drilling being: 0.15m (0.11m ETW) at 4.59g/t Au, 708g/t Ag from 42.35m in DKDD004; 0.23m (0.17m ETW) at 1.13g/t Au, 211g/t Ag from 41.77m in DKDD004; 0.34m (True width) at 1.4g/t Au, 8.1g/t Ag from 26.78m in DKDD002. The `Bonanza Zone' is the southern section of the Golden Surprise Trend representing a low sulphidation epithermal target within the broader Deokon project. Deokon is a gold-silver fertile epithermal mineralisation system, with multiple vein zone targets identified across several square kilometres of project area. This drilling program was designed to test underneath one of the targets, the Bonanza Zone discovery outcrop, which returned a peak of 32.4g/t gold and 1,095g/t silver in outcrop and 78.6g/t gold and 13,000g/t silver in float. The maiden diamond drilling program at the Deokon Project commenced on the 30th October and was completed on the 26th of November. Six holes for 455.52m were drilled and hole collar co-ordinates and details. The initial program involved four diamond drill holes from Pad 1 for 329.72m, three of which were designed to intersect around 25 metres below the identified outcrop at around 30m apart along strike, with a fourth designed to intersect the structure at depth, approximately 50m below surface. A second pad to the south at lower elevation was also constructed with two holes for 125.8m completed. Highly anomalous silver-gold mineralisation was intersected in the step-back drill-hole DKDD004 compared to the first three flat holes. It is important to note that the intersection occurred in competent, fine-grained lacustrine sediments (poor primary permeability, but excellent secondary permeability and focus where cut by structures), rather than the overlying pyroclastic sequence (high primary permeability and therefore less focus). Bonanza could represent a localised jog in the structure within the overall major structural trend of Golden Surprise. Potential exists for high-grade mineralisation in an underlying highly competent, brittle andesite unit, if the fertile structure continues to be dynamic, resulting in a dilated structure required for a significant focused vein. Also, the Golden Surprise trend remains open in both directions, requiring further investigation on Southern Gold's existing tenure applications.
