Iceni Gold (ICL) shares have enjoyed an uptick in today’s trading session after identifying new high priority target areas within the Deep Well prospect in Western Australia.

The company has wrapped up its first phase of aircore drilling at the Deep Well prospect, which sought to provide further context on a recent diamond drilling campaign completed at the project.

Iceni said drilling had been “extremely successful” and defined alteration over a 200-metre strike length, ultimately expanding the alteration zone over a one-kilometre strike length.

According to the ICL, the alteration zone is open to the north and south and hosts visual indications associated with white quartz veining, sulphides, silica, sericite and albite.

“Observable trends in the alteration reflect the underlying trends in the magnetics,” the company said in a statement.

“They are thought to be related to magnetite destruction by the alteration.”

Follow up aircore drilling on these alterations and known gold anomalies are set to continue.

Iceni Gold shares were up 6.98 per cent to trade at 23 cents at 3:18 pm AEST.
