Mineral exploration company Adelong Gold (ASX:ADG) has completed its drilling program at multiple deposits within its namesake old [project, located in southern New South Wales.
The company reports the drilling programs were completed at the Gibraltar, Caledonian, and Sawpit deposits within the Adelong Gold Project. Additionally, a 7-hole program for 906m was completed at Gibraltar, alongside a 4-hole program for 497m at Caledonian and a 5-hole program for 445m at the Sawpit deposit.
These drilling programs were designed to test some of the area’s potential to define a resource.
All of the samples from the drilling at the Gibraltar and Caledonian deposits have been dispatched to the laboratory. Additionally, samples from the first of the Sawpit holes have been dispatched, with the remaining 4-holes being prepared for dispatch.
Adelong Gold states this update will clarify previous reporting of historical results which were announced on 29 March 2023.
The Sawpit deposit is the only deposit on the Lady Mary to Sawpit line of workings that has previously been drilled. Drilling to date has demonstrated reasonable widths of mineralisation at relatively shallow depths which makes it an attractive target for open cut mining.
Adelong aims to drill mainly the southern area where the workings are more extensive and there are multiple veins present. This drilling also aims to test some of the parallel structures/workings to the east of the main workings that have never been drilled.
Adelong Gold is a minerals explorer targeting ‘high-value’ commodities with a particular focus on gold and owns the Adelong Goldfields in New South Wales, Australia. Historically, the company’s Adelong Gold Project has produced around 800,000oz of gold.
