Catalina Resources (ASX:CTN) has recommenced reverse circulation (RC) drilling at the Evanston Gold Project in the Central Yilgarn region, Western Australia.
The RC program is part of Phase one of the company’s 20,000m drilling campaign, focused on testing priority targets along the Evanston and Yerilgee corridors. This phase of drilling comprises approximately 8,000m of RC and aircore drilling across these priority targets.
Executive Director Ross Cotton says that this phase of drilling, and the scheduled second phase as well “reflects the growing scale of opportunity we are seeing across the project area”.
“With multiple priority targets now defined, we can advance drilling more rapidly and test several targets in parallel,” Cotton says.
“Assay results will drive rapid follow-up drilling across the most prospective areas at Evanston and Yerilgee as the company advances toward the next phase of exploration across these two projects.”
A second RC drill rig will be mobilised to accelerate drilling progress across multiple priority targets.
Drill samples are continuously being collected on a metre-by-metre basis and being sent to the laboratory for analysis. Assay results are pending and will be integrated geological modelling to provide a basis for future drilling programs and target refinement.
Catalina Resources is a diversified mineral exploration and mine development company out of Australia, focused on gold, base metals, lithium, and iron ore projects.
