Carnavale Resources Ltd (ASX:CAV) has finished an aircore program at the Kookynie Gold Project with the aim of expanding the high-grade McTavish East discovery between McTavish East and Champion South.
Assays from the program are due in August 2022.
“The drilling program has tested the 1-kilometre prospective corridor between McTavish East and Champion South. The program went smoothly and was completed early. We are looking forward to the results expected in August,” CAV CEO Humphrey Hale said.
Increasing understanding
Carnavale’s recent aircore drilling program encompassed 104 holes for 5,109 metres targeting the extensive prospective corridor that hosts the high-grade McTavish East prospect to the southwest and the Champion South project to the northeast.

The company continues to expand its understanding of the complex regolith profile at the Kookynie Gold Project.
A limited amount of previous aircore drilling has outlined a 0.1 g/t gold anomaly hosted within the transported cover along the main structure that hosts the McTavish East prospect.
Drilling at McTavish East identified anomalous gold hosted in transported material was directly attributable to primary high-grade gold at depth within bedrock geology.
As well as results from its aircore drilling program, the company is also waiting for assays from its RC drilling program which are expected in the next few weeks.
