ASX Market Announcement
Company Release
___________________________________________________________________
Edjudina – Triumph Gold Project, Western Australia
___________________________________________________________________
13 August 2012, Hawthorn Resources Limited (“Hawthorn” or “the Company”) is pleased to
advise that the Company has commenced the RC drilling program at the Senate to Geneve
area of the Edjudina-Triumph Gold Project as referred to in the June 2012 Quarterly
Activities Report as released on 31 July 2012 and which can be viewed in full at
www.hawthornresources.com
The programme is designed to test remnant near surface, high grade, gold mineralised
positions identified in earlier drilling programs. In addition drill testing of historic deeper
resources will be undertaken.
Compilation of level plans in the Robertson Mine area has revealed channel sample results
on the southernmost end of the 100 feet (30 metre) drive of:
o 0.51 metres @ 40.3 g/t Au
o 0.47 metres @ 157.0 g/t Au
with some mine development but no mining reported in this area. If such gold grades continue
to be returned in the current program it is considered that open cut mining could be carried out
to at least this depth. These results are similar to those returned from shallow drilling in the
Senate South area which, if extended, could similarly support open cut mining.
Drilling testing of high grade historic resource blocks at the Senate Mine will also be carried
out to reconfirm and extend such resources.
