Metal Hawk (ASX:MHK) has extended the surface mineralised footprint to more than 600m at the Thylacine prospect, within the Leinster South Project in Western Australia.
This latest discovery comes after the company received new rock chip samples, which were collected from quartz veins at the prospect’s south zone in early December 2024.
Metal Hawk reports the latest batch of assay results returned grades up to 62.3 grams per tonne gold.
Managing Director Will Belbin says these results from Thylacine expand the footprint of this exciting gold prospect.
“In addition to the rock chip assays, the new soil geochemical results demonstrate the potential for significant extensive shallow gold mineralisation at the broader Thylacine prospect area,” Belbin says.
“In the coming months we will be conducting additional regional mapping and geochemical sampling at Thylacine, Tysons and other regional gold prospects as we continue to advance our geological understanding of gold mineralisation at Leinster South.
“We are looking forward to completing heritage clearance surveys prior to our upcoming maiden drill program at Leinster South.”
The majority of the maiden reverse circulation drilling program will be conducted at the Thylacine and Siberian Tiger prospects.
Further, plans are being finalised for the initial 2025 regional field campaign at Leinster South. The company is also in the process of generating new regional targets from geophysics and historical open file data across the 440km2 tenure.
The Leinster South Project is located 30km south of Leinster in the Western Australian Goldfields region.
Metal Hawk is a mineral explorer focused on gold and base metals discoveries.
