Further high grade drill results at the Havieron Project
Newcrest today releases an additional 3,366m of drilling results from the Havieron Project, located 45km from Newcrest’s Telfer mine in Western Australia, from three holes which include high grade gold intercepts:
HAD012 returned: o 43.0m @ 7.9 g/t Au and 0.83% Cu from 900m
HAD013 returned: o 36.0m @ 4.1 g/t Au and 0.84% Cu from 481m
HAD014 returned: o 244.6m @ 2.0 g/t Au and 0.40% Cu from 450m, which includes:
29.3m @ 4.0 g/t Au and 0.86% Cu from 465m and
22.4m @ 4.3 g/t Au and 0.82% Cu from 557m o 75.3m @ 3.4 g/t Au and 0.43% Cu from 816.6m, which includes:
13.2m @ 16 g/t Au and 0.93% Cu from 859m
To date the Havieron drilling program has defined a series of higher-grade zones within a broad envelope of mineralisation. The above mentioned three holes have extended mineralisation by a further 100m to the north with the system remaining open. Although the results to date are highly encouraging, the project is still early stage and drilling is ongoing to confirm the continuity of mineralisation intercepted to date and to search for additional zones of mineralisation within the footprint of the magnetic anomaly.
