- Breaker Resources (BRB) extends high-grade gold mineralisation at the Tura lode to 900 metres down-plunge
- The company is undertaking drilling at the WA-based Lake Roe gold project to target high-grade lode and near-surface extensions at the Bombora deposit
- The steeply-dipping Tura lode is located in the central part of the Bombora deposit and the latest results have returned 21.53 grams of gold per tonne (g/t) over three metres
- Assays are pending for 37 completed reverse circulation and diamond drill holes
- Company shares closed down 3.51 per cent at 27.5 cents each
Breaker Resources (BRB) has continued to extend high-grade gold mineralisation below the Bombora open pit resource in Western Australia.
The company is undertaking diamond and reverse circulation drilling at the Lake Roe gold project to target high-grade lode extensions on 80-metre step-outs, target near-surface extensions of the open pit resource and drill outside the Bombora deposit.
The latest results come from two diamond holes which were drilled to test the
steeply dipping Tura lode located in the central part of the Bombora deposit.
Both drill holes intersected significant gold mineralisation and BBDD0130 intersected the Tura lode from 399.7 metres to 406.5 metres. The core from 401.4 to 402.6 metres revealed numerous specks of visible gold on the core surface. Assays are pending.
BBDD0129 returned 6.8 metres at 12.07 grams of gold per tonne (g/t) from 277 metres including three metres at 21.53g/t gold from 280 metres.
Positively for the company, the results collectively extend the down-plunge extent of high-grade mineralisation in the Tura Lode to 900 metres. The gold system remains open down-plunge to the south.
Managing Director Tom Sanders said the latest results offered more potential to the Bombora ore system.
“The underground potential is growing rapidly with high-grade lodes opening at scale in
several areas directly below the three-kilometre-long open pit resource,” Mr Sanders said. “So far we have partially defined two of these with the steeply dipping, 900-metre-long Tura lode in the central area and the 2.2-kilometre-long package of stacked flat lodes to the north.”
Assays are pending for seven diamond holes targeting the Bombora deposit and for 30 RC holes targeting several areas including the Carbineer and the Windward prospects.
Company shares closed down 3.51 per cent tat 27.5 cents each.
