Wishbone Gold (AIM:WSBN) has begun a phase two 4,500m diamond drilling program as part of a broader 25-hole, 9,000m drilling program at the Red Setter Project in Western Australia.
The program is designed to test extensions of known gold-copper mineralisation, evaluate continuity along the 4km diorite trend, improve understanding of structural controls on mineralisation, and target zones of strongest alteration and sulphide mineralisation.
Activities are progressing as planned and samples are being sent to Perth for assay testing. Initial results are expected before the end of July.
CEO Richard Poulden says results from the overall program will establish the pattern of mineralisation at Red Setter and guide the next phase of drilling later in the year.
The Red Setter Project, covering 57.4km2, is located 13km southwest of Newcrest Mining’s (ASX:NCM) Telfer Gold Mine in the Paterson Province of Western Australia.
Wishbone Gold is listed in London on the AIM Market and the Aquis Stock Exchange, with its three major exploration properties in Australia.
