Morning News Bites – August 17

In Today’s Morning News Bites for August 17. 

Federal government to reveal details of vaccine trial agreements. JB Hi-Fi profits hit $302 million, boosted by people working from home. ASIC set to target the growing of Robinhood traders. 

Toro Energy recently completed a quartz vein outcrop sampling programme on the Golden Ways Target Area, which has yielded surface rock chip samples. The Golden Ways Target Area is located in the north of the Yandal Gold Project, near the Yandal Greenstone Belt in Western Australia. Highlights include samples of up to 14.7g/t gold and has generated anomalism over the entire 900m (approximate) strike length of outcropping quartz veins sampled. The anomalism identified in the quartz veins sampled in this programme will now undergo limited drill testing by reverse circulation (RC) drilling as part of the current planned 2020 exploration programme for the Yandal Gold Project. The RC rig is expected to mobilise to site in the coming weeks.

3D Resources report a 42% upgrade of gold in resources at the Adelong Goldfield. This includes a maiden resource for the Caledonian and Donkey Hill deposits, and a remodelling of resources at the Currajong deposit with the inclusion of a resource of parallel vein systems to the east. Chairman Mr Ian Hastings commented, saying “This maiden resource upgrade for the Adelong Goldfield Project is a clear sign of the exploration potential that the Company believes it can unlock. We are only scratching the surface and I look forward to quickly progressing further exploration activities.”

Krakatoa Resources commences diamond drilling at its Turon Project situated near Bathurst, NSW. The diamond drill program will test several exciting shallow gold targets situated within the Box Ridge and Quartz Ridge line of workings which strike over 2.4km and 1.6km respectively. The northern extension of the Quartz Ridge Mine where a shallow RAB drill program completed nearly 30 years ago identified several highly anomalous gold intercepts with results up to 10m @ 1.64g/t gold from the surface to end of hole. All holes were sampled throughout their developed length as a single composite sample of 10m and the anomalous results were never followed up. The program is expected to take approximately 4 weeks with assays to follow a further 3-4 weeks later.

Drilling has commenced at Smokebush Gold Project for Terrain Minerals, located approximately 65 kilometres west of Paynes Find within the Yalgoo mineral field of Western Australia. The maiden 1,000-meter RC drill program is now underway, the program may be enlarged subject to Terrain geologist’s ground interpretation and observations over the main target areas. Highlights that require work in historical sites include the Wildflower target which recorded 15m @ 1.4g/t Gold from 10m. The Smokebush project is considered by Terrain to be a high-quality gold exploration tenement package. Historic drilling is considered sparse and requires follow up exploration activities to further test their significant results.

Final permitting approvals for the Rover 1 drilling program to commence for Castile Resources, located approximately 80kms south west of West Arunta in the Northern Territory. Renewed Sacred Site Clearance Certificate has been received from the Central Land Council for the Rover 1 Gold Project tenements. Castile anticipates the drill rig will be mobilised to the Rover 1 site by Sunday 23 August 2020 and drilling operations will begin immediately after that.
