⛏️ Kula Gold Limited is pleased to announce the commencement of diamond drilling at the Crayfish Gold Prospect at the company’s Marvel Loch-Airfield Gold Project.
HIGHLIGHTS
- Kula geologists are on site working closely with the drilling contractor (Seismic Drilling Services Ltd) to complete the 200m–300m diamond program by late November.

Discovery of previously unmapped amphibolite within the Ghooli Dome during the April reverse circulation (RC) drill program on E77/2621 provided additional geologic support for potential greenstone-hosted gold at the Crayfish Prospect and within the overall Marvel Loch–Airfield Gold Project area (refer ASX release 2nd July 2021).
The largest producing gold mines within the prolific Southern Cross region are hosted by these regional greenstone belts. Diamond drilling is underway to extend hole 21CYRC003 by 30-50m, obtain orientated structural and lithology data from drill core, and test the potential extension and orientation of the anomalous gold occurrence returned in 21CYRC004 and 21CYRC005 (see Figure 2).

A second diamond hole will be designed perpendicular to the lithological, structural and/or anomaly orientation and will be drilled from surface to further refine our geological understanding of this prospect. A third hole can be added to the program, if required.
Diamond drill core will also provide the opportunity to observe the nature of the abundant quartz veining and strong-to-intense silica alteration seen within a large proportion of the amphibolite RC chips. Integrating this new information into the geological interpretation should facilitate a more focussed targeting strategy for future exploration, allowing Kula to further unlock the gold potential of the project.
Kula geologists are on site working closely with the drilling contractor (Seismic Drilling Services Ltd) to complete the 200m – 300m diamond program by late November.
Results of this program will be reported in due course.
