News: Orion Gold drilling supports presence of epithermal system in Queensland

Orion Gold’s (ASX:ORN) initial drilling has intersected multiple epithermal veins and stockwork zones at the Aurora Flats Prospect of its Connors Arc Epithermal Gold-Silver Project in Central Queensland.   

These have promising alteration and sulphides with first assays due by the end of January.

Detailed structural and alteration logging is underway under supervision of leading epithermal experts.

Drilling is ongoing to test depth extensions to epithermal veins before moving on to test the Veinglorious Prospect.

The alteration styles are associated with epithermal deposits and the style and pervasive nature of the alteration observed in the drilling supports the company’s hypothesis that the Aurora Flats system is a significant epithermal system of substantial scale.

Sulphides are present within veins, on vein contacts, and disseminated in the country rock.
