Classic Minerals Limited: Strikes Vital Processing Water In First Drill Hole
30.06.2022 | ABN Newswire
Perth, Australia - WA-focused gold exploration and development company Classic Minerals Ltd. (ASX:CLZ) is pleased to report it has struck water in its first exploratory drillhole at its flagship Kat Gap gold project.The discovery of substantial quantities of water is another major milestone for the Company and a vital ingredient for the gold processing plant. Strategically the water bore is located adjacent to the main haul road 1,100m from the processing plant. This will make pumping of the water to the processing plant relatively simple with limited infrastructure required.
The water bore hole targeted a substantial fault zone identified from detailed aeromagnetic data.
The fault zone is a regional structure and is expected to hold large quantities of ground water.
Further drilling along this structure will be carried out soon to locate additional water supplies once formal approvals have been received. Testing of the water quality is currently underway.

Classic has acquired 80% of the gold rights on the FGP Tenements from a third party, whilst Hannans has maintained its 20% interest in the gold rights. For the avoidance of doubt Classic Ltd owns a 100% interest in the gold rights on the Kat Gap Tenements and also non-gold rights including but not limited to nickel, lithium and other metals.
