Argent Minerals - Maiden JORC Resource Over Mt Dudley Prospect


Drilling Program is currently being designed to increase the current JORC Resource - Targeting Northern Zone and Main Central Mineralised Zone

HIGHLIGHTS

  • Independent Maiden JORC 2012 Inferred Mineral Resource for the Mt Dudley Deposit has yielded 882,636t @ 1.03 g/t Au containing 29,238 oz Gold.
  • Project is situated within the world class province of the Lachlan Fold Belt in NSW.
  • Mt Dudley Gold Deposit current mineralised model has a strike length over 630m by 30m in width and extending down 95 vertical metres with mineralisation remaining open to the north and at depth.
  • Multiple 5-6m thick gold lodes form a package of up to 30m thickness which dips at 65 degrees towards the west. The mineralization is not closed off at depth.
  • The gold mineralisation is closely associated with intense altered silicified felsic volcanoclastics within quartz veining and disseminated sulphides.
  • Mineralisation envelopes of gold vary from 1m up to 13m true thickness with the gold mineralisation striking in north-south direction.
  • Significant gold intersections include:
       - Drillhole MD1: 20m @ 1.47 g/t Au from 39m
       - Drillhole MD9: 6m @ 2.96 g/t Au from 41m
       - Drillhole AMD01: 12m @ 2.25 g/t Au from 16m
      - Drillhole AMD05: 8m @ 1.46 g/t Au from 18m
      - Drillhole AMD13: 10m @ 1.05 g/t Au from 36m

  • Follow-up extensional resource drilling is required in the north and south portion of the main gold mineralisation zone to increase the current resource tonnage and grade.
  • Currently, four (4) soil gold geochemical anomalies remain untested to the east of the current resource area which may potentially yield undiscovered mineralised gold-quartz lodes
