Highlights include 0.6 m @ 161.6 g/t gold equivalent (“AuEq”) (87.6 g/t gold (“Au”), 46.8 % antimony (“Sb”)) from 415.7 m in SDDSC067, drilled into a new vein west of the Rising Sun area, indicating the prospectivity and opportunity for further high-grade discoveries across the Sunday Creek project, with a majority of the core area undrilled to date.
Sunday Creek is 100% owned by Southern Cross Gold (“SXG”), which is an ASX-listed company owned 51% by Mawson.
Highlights:
- Six drillholes are reported with some of the highest grades of antimony (up to 54.0% Sb) and gold (up to 140.0 g/t Au) on the project. All holes demonstrate continuity of mineralised structures from near surface to 700 m vertical depth.
- SDDSC067 drilled a new vein to the west of the Rising Sun vein, previously only intersected by SDDSC050. SDDSC067 was drilled 115 m above SDDSC050 and highlights the continuity of mineralised structures at Sunday Creek. Highlights included:
- 0.6 m @ 161.6 g/t AuEq (87.6 g/t Au, 46.8% Sb) from 415.7 m, including:
- 0.5 m @ 159.3 g/t AuEq (74.0 g/t Au, 54.0% Sb) from 415.8 m
- SDDSC069 tested the Windsor Castle vein east of Rising Sun. The hole was drilled perpendicularly across SDDSC053 and demonstrated continuity of higher-grade mineralisation. Highlights included:
- o 2.1 m @ 6.2 g/t AuEq (5.0 g/t Au, 0.7% Sb) from 294.4 m, including:
Noora Ahola, Mawson Interim CEO, states: “These high-grade antimony and gold results are again a remarkable indication of what's still to be discovered at Sunday Creek Project. Hole by hole the project is developing for SXG into a significant project, which adds significantly to Mawson’s underlying value.”
