• RC drilling at the Grafter Prospect intersected mineralisation at the north-eastern end of a | |
gold-soil anomaly which extends 500m to the old Bullrush Prospect. The peak intersections | |

Traka Resources Limited (ASX: TKL; Traka or the Company) is pleased to report outstanding new high- grade gold-copper results from the latest batch of assays received from drilling completed at the onlyPlantagenet and Grafter Prospects on its 100%-ownedMt Cattlin Gold-CopperProject, located immediately adjacent to the Mt Cattlin lithium mine in the Ravensthorpe Greenstone Belt in the south-west
of Western Australia.
The results continue to highlight the excellent potential of the Mt Cattlin Gold-Copper Project to host significant mineralisation across multiple areas, providing a strong foundation for ongoing exploration in 2022.
The locations of the key prospects within the Mt Cattlin Project are shown in Figure 1 below.

The Plantagenet Prospect:
ive RC (Reverse Circulation) drill-holes were completed at Plantagenet to test under the historic mine workings (Figure 2). The mine workings are shallow (< 5 metres) and have most likely exploited supergene enriched gold mineralisation in the soft weathered rock. A coincident aeromagnetic plus soil geochemical anomaly overlies Plantagenet and these anomalies extend in a north-easterly trend over a distance of approximately 1 kilometre through the Ellendale and Revival Prospects.
The high-grade gold intersected at Plantagenet occurs as discrete zones within wide, strongly anomalous copper mineralisation hosted in porphyritic intrusives rocks and basalt (Figures 3 and 4). The mineralisation intersected at depth is wider and more extensive than indicated from surface workings and therefore resembles the results previously returned from drilling at Ellendale (1).

personalForThe positive drill results received at Plantagenet, combined with those previously reported for the Ellendale prospect before Christmas (see ASX announcement, 15 December 2021), provides significant scope to delineate a mineralised trend over 1-kilometre in length with Plantagenet located at one end and the Revival Prospect at the other.
The assay results for drill samples at Revival are part of those still to be reported from the laboratory.
