Tambourah Metals starts 2,000m gold drilling at Baxters South
Tambourah Metals has started a 2,000-metre aircore drilling program at Baxters South in Western Australia’s Peak Hill Mineral Field.
The company is targeting a weathered zone overlying shale, with holes planned across a 160-metre-by-160-metre area.
Earlier reverse-circulation drilling returned 4 metres at 41.7 grams of gold per tonne and 6 metres at 9.5 grams per tonne.
One earlier hole also found 3 metres at 35.5 grams per tonne in fresh rock at a greater depth, which the company considers a possible new primary gold discovery.
The aircore results may help the company assess the source of the gold, which remains a target for planned deeper drilling.
Tambourah is also sampling and assaying drill core from Beatty Park South and continuing resource work at Tambourah King.
