While highlighted sections were all part of larger overall intersections at lower grades, there were decent-sized higher grade pockets to get some investors bullish.
Headline intersections include:
- 11m @ 6.29g/t gold from 69m depth
- 10m @ 6.11g/t gold from 73m depth
- 10m @ 3.69g/t gold from 37m depth
- 08m @ 4.9g/t gold from 156m depth
- 08m @ 4.8g/t gold from 54m depth
The latest results were pulled from a strike target some 350m in length with mineralisation believed to be open. Follow-up drilling is already underway as the company’s geotechs try to figure out whether they’ve just found a whole new prospect area to go after.
So far, they’re calling the targeted area of interest the ‘Iris Zone.’ From the company’s Tuesday disclosure, it sounds like it will remain in the eyeline.

“This is one of the most impressive sequences of assay results ever reported at Apollo Hill”.
