PERTH, April 2 AAP - Junior explorer Tantalum Australia NL thinks it has found a new gold discovery at its Hope River prospect in Western Australia. The Perth company told the market today drilling results from the prospect, 50km from Meekatharra, indicate a zone of ore containing gold in potentially economic quantities. Tantalum says that while the grade of gold mineralisation is low - one drill sample contained 10 metres at just 1.3 grams per tonne gold - it appeared significant. While little drilling has been done, and the entire zone is buried beneath 10 or 20 metres of cover, the size of the patch made it significant, the company said.
