Lindian Resources (ASX: LIN) has received results of up to 283 grams per tonne (g/t) gold from rock chip sampling at the Masapelid Project in the Philippines.
Sampling carried out at the Layong Vein and Uyajan prospects at Masapelid have returned high grade gold and silver results.
At Layong Vein, results from rock chip and mullock sampling included 283.42g/t gold and 455.3g/t silver along with 46.48g/t gold and 165.6g/t silver.
Layong Vein hosts high grade gold and silver on the Layab Prospect, which is also hosted by the Manuel Vein System within Masapelid.
Assays from diamond drilling at the Manuel Vein System in January returned an intercept of 2 metres at 118.35g/t gold, 105.2g/t silver, 0.86% lead and 1.16g/t zinc from 125 metres, including 1 metre at 235.7g/t gold, 156.1g/t silver with minor lead and zinc mineralisation.
The results further confirm the narrow but high grade nature of the Manual Vein System.
Assays from two other drill holes show that eluvium along sections of the Manual Vein System prospect contain low grade gold and silver from surface.
Over at Uyajan, results obtained from sampling of vein, breccia and mullock returned:
- 173.15g/t gold and 56.7g/t silver;
- 2.95g/t gold and 1.5g/t silver; and
-1.37g/t gold and 2.7g/t silver.
Better grades at Uyajan have been located in sheeted veins in silicified andesitic breccia.
Sampling and mapping indicates that previous drilling at the prospect has terminated short of intersecting the high grade gold-silver sheeted vein system.
