Westgold provides the following progress update on drilling at the Rover 1 (Cu-Au) deposit, located
in the Northern Territory approximately 80km south west of Tennant Creek.
The 2009 drill programme is progressing well with two diamond core rigs now operating at Rover 1.
A total of 30 RC (Reverse Circulation) precollars for 6,698metres and 11 diamond “tails” for 3662
metres have been completed to date.
The objectives of the programme are to continue step out drilling of the known high grade copper
and gold zones discovered during the 2008 programme and to test for new zones elsewhere along
the 800 metre magnetic target.
Results for the first six diamond holes have been received and importantly show significant
extensions of high-grade copper in WGR1D024-1 (new result) and the discovery of a new zone of
IOCG mineralisation to the west in WGR1D018 (previously reported).
WGR1D024-1 105m @ 1.6% Cu, 0.2g/t Au, 1.6g/t Ag, 0.14% Bi, 0.13% Co from 368m.
including 27m @ 4.8% Cu, 0.6g/t Au, 3.5g/t Ag, 0.02% Bi, 0.34% Co from 429m
WGR1D018 18m @ 1.2% Cu, 0.7g/t Au, 3.1g/t Ag, 0.15% Bi, 0.15% Co from 536m
including 8m @ 1.6% Cu, 1.2g/t Au, 4.9g/t Ag, 0.23% Bi, 0.19% Co from 542m
The high grade copper mineralisation intersected in WGR1D024-1 is located approximately 70m
vertically above the previously defined high grade copper and gold zone discovered in 2008 and
represents a significant vertical extension to the known mineralisation.
Additionally, the new “western” zone of mineralisation is an important development in the Rover 1
deposit. This mineralisation is located approximately 250m west of the known high grade copper
and gold zone and provides another prime focus for the drilling programme. Accordingly, the
second diamond rig is now drill testing for extensions of this new zone.
Results of the other drill holes have confirmed mineralisation although with generally moderate
grade Cu-Au mineralisation around the known high grade copper and gold zone. Drill hole
WGR1D014 suggests local structural complexities occur at the eastern margin of the currently
defined mineralisation. Detailed structural and geophysical analysis is underway to understand the
implications on the local geology and mineralisation in this more complex area.
Significant results of the 2009 drill programme are listed in Table 2 with hole locations provided in
Table 1.
Westgold expects to be in a position to provide a further update on progress at Rover 1 in the June
Quarterly Report due for release late in July.
