Successful depth extensions at Lindsay's Project
The information in this report which relates to exploration results, miner al resources or ore reserves Is based on information compiled by Mr. Jabulani Machukera who is a Member of the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy with a minimum of five years exper ience which is relevant to the style of mineralisation and type of deposit under consideration and to the activ ity which he is under taking to qualify as a Competent Person as defined in the 2004 Edition of the `Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources, and Ore Reserves '. Mr. Machukera consents to the inclusion in the report of the matters based on his information in the form and context in which it appears. Mr. Machukera is employed as Senior Resource Geologist with Carrick G old Limited.
Western Australian gold explorer Carrick Gold Limited (ASX: CRK) is pleased to announce successful depth extensions at Lindsay's Parrot Feathers prospect.
Carrick Gold Limited has recently completed seven diamond holes at its Lindsay's Project Parrot Feathers Prospect (refer Figure1). All holes were pre-collared to 200m by reverse circulation drilling. The total metres drilled for all the diamond tails totalled 751m.
Results have greatly improved the geological confidence in the continuity along strike and the down dip of the Parrot Feathers main mineralised foot-wall structure. Mineralisation in this structure has been extended to vertical depths of approximately 250m.
Of the 7 diamond tails that were drilled only one (PFD01) did not hit any significant gold mineralisation. This was also mirrored in the geology as PFD01 was drilled through different geology from that logged in PFD02-07. Although the gold mineralisation in hole PFD06 is weak, it has the same geological profile as all the other mineralised holes.
Gold mineralisation encountered with this drilling is mainly hosted in a sheared dolerite with intense quartz veining and associated with sericite-silica-pyrite alteration.
