Gateway Mining (ASX:GML) has delineated a 7km gold anomaly at the Ward prospect within its Yandal Gold Project in Western Australia following a recent aircore drilling program.
The Ward prospect is located 6km along strike from the Cowza gold system. Gateway says the combined mineralised system now extends over 13km of strike from Celia South through Cowza to Ward.
Key gold results from the aircore program include 4m @ 4 grams per tonne gold (Au) from 88m, 4m @ 3.70g/t Au from 96m, and 4m @ 3.20g/t Au from 60m.
CEO Richard Pugh says the program was designed to “better map the key structural corridor”, with previous drilling primarily focused on secondary splay structures and footwall mineralisation.
The company says recent results validate historic drilling at Ward, which returned intercepts of 34m @ 1.70g/t Au from 41m, including 10m @ 3.80g/t Au, and 13m @ 1g/t Au from 65m, including 3m @ 2.30g/t Au.
Future drilling aims to test the 7km trend, focusing on the untested contact and associated structures.
Meanwhile, Gateway reports reverse circulation drilling remains ongoing at Cowza to test scale and continuity, with results expected imminently.
Gateway Mining is a mineral explorer focused on discovering and developing large-scale gold deposits in WA.
