Ordell Minerals (ASX:ORD) has reported ‘significant drill results’ from its recent shallow, wide-spaced Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling program at the Company’s Barimaia Gold Project, located near Mount Magnet in the WA-based Murchison region. These RC drilling activities, completed in September and October 2024, represented the second phase of Ordell Minerals’ larger, ongoing program to systematically test at shallow depths (typically less than 80m vertical) within the currently defined 2.5km strike extent of gold mineralisation at Barimaia.
Results from the program continue to confirm shallow, open pit potential, with coherent zones of gold mineralisation starting to be defined within an extensive gold system that remains untested at depth and remains open along strike.
- Significant results received from the second phase of shallow RC) drilling at the McNabs East Prospect at the Barimaia Gold Project
- Extensive zone of gold mineralisation now defined at McNabs East at shallow depths (typically less than 80m vertical) over a strike length of +1,000m and remains open along strike and untested at depth
- The recent shallow drilling at McNabs East was completed on around 100m-spaced sections to continue the first-pass test of the Barimaia felsic intrusion
- Primary mineralisation in the McNabs East area is associated with an interpreted granodiorite intrusion, strongly supporting the potential for Eridanus-style deposits at Barimaia
- Diamond drilling planned for November to obtain structural and lithological data at McNabs East, which will be followed by extensional and in-fill RC drilling in the March 2025 quarter.
Commenting on the results, Ordell’s Managing Director, Michael Fowler, said:
“Our second drill program at Barimaia has delivered some great results, with wide zones of shallow gold mineralisation intersected within the targeted felsic intrusion host rock. Importantly, a number of high-grade gold results were returned from the program which are open at depth and along strike. This shows the potential of the mineralised system, which is beginning to take shape, pointing to significant future growth opportunities as our drilling programs advance.”
