Classic Minerals (CLZ) has seen the first 10 holes from a drilling program at its Kat Gap project in WA return high-grade gold intercepts.

The company has started receiving assay results from an extensive infill reverse circulation drilling program at the Kat Gap project, where 10 holes were completed for a total of 555 metres.

These holes form part of a 109-hole program, which will be drilled for a total of 7110 metres over the next four to six weeks, pending weather conditions. This covers an area 300 metres along strike to the north of the Proterozoic dyke, and 200 metres north along strike from the company’s recent bulk sample mining operations.

Each of the initial ten holes returned high-grade gold intercepts, with results including three metres at 13.23 grams per tonne (g/t) gold from 32 metres, including one metre at 17 g/t gold from 34 metres.

Further results included five metres at 7.36 g/t gold from 42 metres, including two metres at 14.2 g/t gold from 42 metres.

The program is hoped to add additional mineable ounces and a potentially larger final open pit design to the project.

The remaining assay results will be released as they become available.

Classic Minerals last traded at 3.7 cents on August 2.
