At Lancefield North, assay results include 23 metres at 1.6 g/t gold, including 9 metres at 2.5 g/t gold.
The thick >1 gram intersections close to surface presents an interesting opportunity.
Duketon’s Golden Star prospect is hosted within a quartz rich dolerite along trend from Regis Resources’ (ASX:RRL) Baneygo Resource.
At Golden Star, results include 10 metres at 1.5 g/t gold including 4 metres at 2 g/t gold.
Duketon is planning follow-up work on these prospects once final assays have been fully assessed.
