OVERVIEW
Alt Resources has added a significant asset to its growing portfolio, with the signing of an Option to Purchase Agreement for the Bottle Creek Gold Mine, east of Menzies in WA. Bottle Creek was mined in 1998-1989, producing 90,000 oz Au from two small open pits. Significant in-ground mineralisation remains along strike at Emu and Southwark. Alt plans to conduct extensive RC drilling in 2018 to confirm historical drilling results and bring the Emu and Southwark deposits to JORC-compliant resource status.
Return of assay results from the 1,490m RC drilling program completed at Mt Roberts at the end of last Quarter saw values up to 9.84 g/t Au reported at Rum Punch. In addition, several satellite targets were tested, returning promising gold values from Kathleen and Far East.
The Company's faith in the prospectivity of the Mount Roberts Gold Project has been further validated by a successful application for drill funding under the WA Government's Exploration Incentive Scheme. Alt has been granted $32,500 for diamond drilling at Mount Roberts.
A review of existing data was conducted for the Company's Paupong Intrusion-Related Gold Project in NSW. It was determined from this review that cobalt is a key component of this polymetallic system, with up to 0.12% Co encountered in drilling at the Kidman prospect during 2015-2016.
With the focus on other key projects, including the significant commitment to undertake resource drilling at Bottle Creek, the Company has decided to terminate the Fiery Creek Joint Venture and Farm-In Agreement with Ironbark Zinc Ltd.
