there would be an announcement but it would go back a few years, found the following after some looking. Like I said they never really hit anything significant, very slow to get through exploration programs. 20 May 2021 Southern Cross Assay Results Update Highlights: Single‐metre split assay results returned from Boordarding (E77/2584) Deep intercepts confirm historic diamond and RC drilling targets Prospect remains open along strike and at depth Xantippe Resources Limited (ASX: XTC) (Xantippe, XTC, or the Company) is pleased to announce the return of split assays from reverse circulation (RC) drilling at the Boodarding Prospect. The three RC holes drilled at Boodarding followed up the abandoned drilling attempted last year and aimed to test historic diamond and RC drilling which intercepted anomalous gold at approximately 100‐150m below surface. All three holes were completed to depth with two of the three RC holes intercepting gold mineralisation, confirming the potential existing at the Boodarding Prospect on Xantippe lease E77/2584. Boodarding Assay Results Single‐metre fire assay (30g) results have been returned from anomalous composite samples during RC drilling of the Boodarding Prospect earlier this year. The RC drilling proved difficult with numerous water‐bearing fractures intercepted at depth, resulting in wet samples being produced from approximately 100m onwards. Analysis of wet samples in these conditions can sometimes produce uncertain results with gold potentially washed away. Due to the uncertain nature of wet RC samples the resultant assay results are considered to be indicative of mineralisation but do not provide an absolute measure of grade. Xantippe will use these results for targeting purposes, with the aim of utilising diamond drilling techniques in the future.

Thanks. What a shemozzle this has been off in wonderland, when all along they've been sitting on all this greenstone.
