Alt Resources Ltd: Gold Intercepts at Tims Find Mt Ida Gold Project
Canberra, Australia - Alt Resources Ltd. (ASX:ARS) is pleased to provide an exploration update and initial positive results from Tim's Find project area. Tim's Find is one of the areas currently being drilled by the Company in the Mt Ida Gold Project RC drilling program.The Company has recently completed approximately 3000 metres of RC drilling at Tim's Find from approximately 72 RC holes drilled to date. Positive gold results have now been received from the first 20 holes drilled Tim's Find with significant results from the first 20 holes displayed in Table 1 in link below.
102 RC drillholes have been drilled across the greater Mt Ida Project at the Tim's Find, Shepherds Bush and the Quinns mining areas. The Company will complete aproximately 5,200 metres of RC in this program once completed.
The current drill program has been designed to confirm both grade and continuity of the gold mineralisation at Tim's Find confirming the mining potential of the project area. The Company has undertaken additional drilling down strike to the south outside the current resource model area and will provide the results as they come to hand.
The Company expects to establish strike extensions from this current drilling program. Figures 2 and 3 in link below above show mineralisation on recent drill sections, which compare favourably with the mineralisation defined by previous drilling. Figure 4 shows recent hole collar positions and the location of the drill setions (figure 2 and 3) while figure 5 shows recent hole positions relative to historic drilling and the outline of the previously established resource area.
Recent drilling shows the Tim's Find mineralisation to be hosted by an ultramafic talc chlorite schist and the adjacent mafic schist within a ~N-S striking shear zone. A review of the historic drilling shows broadly spaced drill sections, to the north and south of the resource which have intersected the shear position with significant gold mineralisation.
While indicating potential to the north and ~500m to the south of the resource, this drilling is too broadly spaced to incorporate in to JORC (2012) Reported Resources. Alt has now completed an initial program of infill drilling in these areas (Figure 6) with assays pending.
Once drilling is completed at Tim's Find the rig is scheduled to move north to the Quinn's mining area (figure 6) with the RC drilling program designed to test the interpreted Forrest Belle and Boudie Rat ore shoot extensions.
