Cardinal Resources Ltd (ASX:CDV) has received new drill results from the Ndongo East discovery made earlier this year.
Significant new high‐grade gold intersections from Ndongo East include 3 metres at 29.3 g/t gold from 45 metres and 3 metres at 4.1 g/t gold from 122 metres.
These results follow up the high-grade gold drilled mid-year which featured 9 metres at 23.3 g/t gold from 60 metres.
Diamond drilling at Ndongo is ongoing and further assays are expected.

Cardinal’s CEO and managing director Archie Koimtsidis said: “The Ndongo East discovery is particularly encouraging with the initial 450-metre strike length of strong, shallow gold mineralisation still open along strike and at depth (Figure 3).
“Beyond this initial mineralised zone, a further 750 metres of gold mineralisation has been intersected along strike, which currently extends overall gold mineralisation of the Ndongo East discovery to approximately 1.2 kilometres (Figure 2).
“We are increasingly encouraged at how Ndongo East is evolving, with the potential to add further high‐grade gold ounces to our Maiden Probable Ore Reserve of 4.76 million ounce within the Namdini Gold Project located 24 kilometres to the south.
“The Ndongo East prospect lies within a larger target area of approximately 7 kilometres in length that has yet to be drill tested.
“We have now recommenced drilling after the 2018 wet season with further results pending”.
