Australian gold explorer Alto Metals (ASX:AME) has begun a reverse circulation (RC) drilling program at the Sandstone Gold Project in Western Australia.
The company says the first phase of about 5,000m is planned to test interpreted ‘high-grade’ mineralised structures highlighted from recent results announced at the end of 2022 at Indomitable, including 25m @ 7.5g/t Au from 41m, along with additional step out extensional drilling.
Drilling is also planned to test strike extensions at Musketeer, and first pass drilling at the Cessna and Duke of Windsor prospects.
Alto also reports work on updating the current open-pit 635,000 ounces @ 1.6g/t Au resource for the Sandstone Gold Project is progressing and remains on track for completion this month.
This drilling follows news from 13 March 2023, where the company identified additional gold targets within the Alpha Domain, which included visible gold in rock chips south of Indomitable.
The targets identified from an ongoing geological review and fieldwork identified a number of targets including New Prospect, Eclipse and Duke of Windsor, Bollinger, Indomitable East Extensions, Bulletin, and Bull Oak.
Alto Metals is an Australian gold explorer focused on the Sandstone Gold Project which covers 900km-square in the Archaean Sandstone Goldfield about 600km north of Perth.
Sandstone currently has an indicated and inferred Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) of 12.4 million tonnes @ 1.6g/t au for 635,000 ounces. Numerous former open pits, prospects, and gold occurrences now owned by Alto at Sandstone include Lord Nelson, Lord Henry, Havilah, Maninga Marley, Ladybird, Indomitable, Tiger Moth, Vanguard, Vanguard North, Oroya, Hacks, Bull Oak, Sandstone North, and Bulchina.
