Eleckra Mines identifies strong gold anomaly at Hann Prospect

9th Feb 2010, 9:20 am

Eleckra Mines (ASX: EKM) has returned exciting results from a close-spaced geochemical soil survey carried out at the Hann prospect within the Yamarna Gold Project, located approximately 150 kilometres east of Laverton in Western Australia.

The soil geochemistry program defined a zone that contains elevated gold values, only 1.1 kilometres east of the Attila gold deposit and 2.4 kilometres west of the Central Bore gold discovery in a parallel magnetic structure.

The original assays and repeat results indicate presence of coarse gold in soil samples.

The soil survey at the Hann prospect was undertaken as a follow up to earlier widespaced traverses of shallow auger and RAB drill-holes. In June 2009, Eleckra drilled 26 shallow RAB holes on the prospect that returned encouraging gold results.

However, the drilling program was terminated as the RAB drilling could not penetrate the hard, silicified felsic volcanic schist present at the prospect.

Eleckra decided to determine the extent of, and to better define, the anomaly by a close-spaced geochemical soil survey, with approximately 950 soil samples collected on 20mE x 40mN grid over a total strike length of 2.8 kilometres.

The unlevelled gold image shows a very strong 800 metre-long anomaly over the area with Archaean bedrock in the south-eastern grid, with grades up to 2.1 g/t Au in repeat assay and up to 1.05 g/t Au in original assay.

A weaker trend is visible in the north-western grid over the area with the saprolite erosional plains, which mask the response.

The levelled gold image clearly shows three parallel trends that continue from southeast to northwest on the saprolite. Anomalies relative to background are of the same order of magnitude over both grids.

The levelled arsenic image also shows a strong anomaly in the southern grid that is associated with the eastern gold trend. In the northern part of the grid from 6,885,360N onwards, arsenic shows unexplained parallel north-south trends, which will be further checked.

Eleckra Executive Chairman Ian Murray said the company intended to carry out its maiden RC drilling program at the Hann prospect in early 2010, while a follow up soil survey would be undertaken in mid-February to extend the grid further to the southeast along the trend.
