De Grey Mining Limited (ASX:DEG) has confirmed further encouraging gold mineralisation within its existing resource limits at the Toweranna Gold Deposit within the Pilbara Gold Project in Western Australia.
Significant new shallow high-grade gold lodes intersected at the Southern, Northern and Eastern Zones include:
• 5 metres at 15.17 g/t gold from 33 metres, including 2 metres at 37.14 g/t gold;
• 22 metres at 4.82 g/t gold from 44 metres, including 3 metres at 23.28 g/t gold; and
• 7 metres at 17.29 g/t gold from 101 metres, including 3 metres at 37.82 g/t gold.

The latest results are expected to lead to a significant expansion of the current resource on the Western and Southern Zones and indicate the potential for maiden resources to be defined on the Northern and Eastern Zones with further drilling.
De Grey’s Pilbara Gold Project has excellent potential for significant additional resource ounces along its 200 kilometres plus strike length throughout the large 1,480 square kilometre land holding.
New high-grade gold intersections at Toweranna
To date, about 10% of the shear zones have received detailed shallow drilling to successfully define a +1.2 million ounce JORC gold resource.
De Grey is actively ramping up exploration throughout the tenement package in a drive to upgrade and expand known resources, as well as discover new deposits.
Notably, there are over 40 identified yet untested soil anomalies along the highly prospective regional scale shear zones and conglomerates.
New style and host to gold mineralisation developing
De Grey technical director Andy Beckwith said: “Recent drilling has been successful on all fronts with strong gold mineralisation defined throughout the granite.
“We expect the diamond drilling will also add to this exciting new style of mineralisation.
“This developing new style and host to gold mineralisation opens up a whole new dimension to additional targeting in the Pilbara Gold Project and the Pilbara region in general.”
