Echo Resources (ASX: EAR) has assayed 5 metres at 21.6 grams per tonne gold from 235 metres, with 1 metre at 90 grams per tonne, at its Julius gold discovery in Western Australia.
Julius is located in the Yandal Gold Province which hosts several multi-million ounce gold deposits, including Newmont Mining's (NYSE:NEM) Jundee and Darlot.
The gold lodes at Julius are hosted by weathered and fresh ultramafic, mafic and granodioritic rocks.
A second zone of gold mineralisation was intersected lower in the Julius shear zone and returned an intercept of 7 metres at 1.8 grams per tonne from 270 metres.
The mineralised system remains open to the north, west, east and south, with further drilling underway to locate additional gold lodes.
