Moho Resources Ltd (ASX:MOH) is encouraged by the final assay results received from the 2021 aircore program at the Tyrells and Hodges gold prospects within the Silver Swan North Project in Western Australia.
The company’s drilling has confirmed multiple mineralised gold zones from single metre split assays of four-metre samples with significant results including:
- 7 metres at 1.59g/t from 14 metres
- 5 metres at 1.57g/t from 49 metres; and
- 10 metres at 0.98g/t from 50 metres
Notably, the combined strike length of the two main mineralised zones at Tyrells prospect extends over about 1.2 kilometres.
Moving forward, Moho has further aircore, followed by reverse circulation (RC) drilling planned to test continuity, extent, and grade at Tyrells.
“Additional gold mineralisation”
Moho managing director Shane Sadleir said: “We’re very encouraged by the potential for additional gold mineralisation in the two main zones at Tyrells, north of East Sampson Dam.
“We’re looking forward to drill testing these areas as a priority in the near future.”
Gold anomalism
At Tyrells, there is a clear separation into two zones of drill gold anomalism.
This anomalism is best developed on the western side and just to the east of the high magnesium basalt, particularly on sections 6639000N and 6639200N where there appear to be multiple zones of gold anomalism with apparent dips of about 45 to the east.
In the centre of the northern-most traverse the anomalism is weak, although the complexity in the magnetics would suggest a break at about this position.
The anomalism on the ultramafic contact area at the eastern end of the traverses is best developed on sections 6638600N and 66390000N with the source about 100-160 metres west of the ultramafic contact.
At Hodges, significant gold anomalism occurs on section 66404450N both within a steep east dipping zone from surface at the ultramafic contact and also in a flat supergene blanket extending about 160 metres to the west of the contact.
Forward plan
Moho’s assay results have focused attention on several areas to test below the refusal depth of the drilling and the supergene blanket.
Follow-up drill targets at Tyrells with a combined NNW-trending strike length of 1.2 kilometres, represent the two main gold mineralised trends and are considered a priority.
Aircore drilling to test continuity and strike extensions of two main mineralised zones at Tyrells prospect.
Furthermore, RC drilling will test the extent and grade of gold mineralisation below the refusal depth of aircore drilling and supergene blanket following receipt of aircore drilling results.
