Perth-based mineral exploration company M3 Mining (ASX:M3M) has launched an RC drilling program at the El Capitan prospect at the Edjudina Gold Project located 140km northeast of Kalgoorlie in Western Australia.
The M3 team have recently finished a 9-day pXRF sampling trip to Victoria Bore in order to test the prospectivity of the previously announced base metal targets.
Seven prospects were visited, 245 localities sampled and 418 pXRF scans across the project. M3 have not yet commenced interpreting the results.
Executive Director Simon Eley says M3 Mining is excited to be starting an RC drilling program at the El Capitan prospect so soon after the repeal of the 2021 Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Bill which stalled all significant exploration works since 1 July 2023.
“The targeted program will focus on intercepting ultra-high grade gold mineralisation beneath the previous success. By drilling two holes from varying orientations the company will explore multiple possible geometries of the previously intercepted 2,304 g/t Au hit (27 – 28m in EDJAC164).”
M3 Mining’s projects are strategically located in regions surrounded by majors and has experienced minimal modern, systematic exploration across both projects.
The company’s strategy is to apply a systematic approach to the assessment and prioritisation of its projects, all of which have the potential to produce material discoveries.
