Echo Resources (ASX: EAR) has made further significant gold intercepts from drilling at its Julius gold discovery, in the Yandal gold province of Western Australia.
Notable intercepts included 20 metres at 3.2 grams per tonne gold from 50 metres, and 5 metres at 4.8 grams per tonne gold from 184 metres, end-of-hole.
The Yandal Province hosts several multi-million ounce gold deposits, including Newmont Mining's (NYSE:NEM) Jundee and Darlot.
The footprint of +1 gram per tonne gold mineralisation at Julius is about 800 metres by 850 metres based on drilling completed so far, and is open in all directions.
A follow-up reverse circulation and diamond core drilling program is scheduled to commence at Julius during November 2013 to test potential extensions to the high-grade mineralisation to date.
Julius is located in an infrastructure rich area, and is close to exploration and mining services, gold processing plants, well-maintained roads, the Goldfields Gas pipeline and groundwater resources.
