Kula Gold Limited reports RC Drilling has commenced at the Boomerang Gold Prospect at the Marvel Loch Project (KGD 100%), near Southern Cross WA.
The prospect is north of the Nevoria Gold Mine (+600,000 ounces gold), east of the circa 2.4million ounces Marvel Loch Gold Mine and west of the Mt Palmer Gold Mine (+150,000 ounces gold) all of which produced gold at more than 4 grams/tonne.
Kula’s Managing Director Ric Dawson comments:
“This reconnaissance RC drilling is a limited metreage programme to test the gold UFF geochemistry anomaly following up a 1m at 2.56g/t intercept from previous drilling in the Boomerang Kaolin Deposit, as well as possible rare earths potential.”
HIGHLIGHTS
- RC drilling commenced this week for gold with testing including rare earth elements
- The newly defined gold anomaly sits in a magnetic low which is highly encouraging
- Located along a NW 310-330o orientation within a magnetic low – the optimal configuration as most of the gold deposits in the Southern Cross Goldfields strike in the same direction.
- Cross-cutting north-east (050o) structure in the vicinity of the geochemistry results contains a historical Kula Gold RC hole which had a result of 1m at 2.6g/t gold at 54m
- Being 5km from the Marvel Loch gold processing plant and infrastructure, aligns with Kula Gold’s strategy of exploring near to existing operations to fast track any discovery to monetary success
- Assaying for Rare Earth Elements (REE) will also be tested following positive indications from historic drilling in the tenement
Boomerang Gold Prospect (100% wholly owned)
The second round of planned close spaced ultra fine fraction (UFF) soil sampling was completed by the Kula Gold team on a 20m x 20m grid and has better defined the gold anomaly over 200m in length with an orientation of NW 310-330o coinciding with a magnetic low as shown in Figure 2 below:
Additional Gold Prospects
The Kula Gold team is continuing to further develop existing gold prospects in the Marvel Loch Project; Stingray Prospect, Crayfish Prospect, Nevoria North Prospect and G-Star Prospect. Results from recent UFF soils programmes (gold and multi-element) will be reported in due course.
