Apollo Consolidated Limited announced assay results in step-out RC drilling at the Duchess gold deposit, part of the Lake Rebecca Gold Project approximately 145km east of Kalgoorlie in Western Australia, define open southward extension with 18m @ 1.39g/t Au in RCLR0747 and 23m @ 1.33g/t Au in RCLR0748. The 195,000oz Duchess deposit sits 4km south of the Company’s main Rebecca discovery and presents excellent potential for supplemental feed to any future mining operation. The deposit comprises several west-dipping mineralised structures with Mineral Resources reported within an optimised pit shell some 900m long and up to 800m wide. RC drilling on a step-out traverse south of the pit shell boundary has shown that a strongly mineralised structure remains open southward, with RCLR0747 hitting 18m @ 1.39g/t Au and RCLR0748 intersecting 23m @ 1.33g/t Au approximately 80m down-dip. The intercepts correspond to increased disseminated sulphides and define a west-dipping structure of 15-20m true width. The results demonstrate the potential for resource growth around the margins of the Duchess deposit, and it is pleasing to locate mineralisation in the first follow-up work conducted since updating the MRE. Several follow-up drillholes have been drilled on sections south of this point, with assay results yet to be returned from the laboratory. First exploration drilling in an area 1.3km NW of Duchess has also returned a promising intercept, with 4m @ 1.60g/t Au from 46m in RCLR0743. Mineralisation reports to a zone of sulphides and alteration and has confirmed that gold anomalism in historical auger sampling has a local bedrock source. The Target is coincident with a linear magnetic anomaly that is undrilled and open to strike. Follow- up exploration drilling will be carried out along this >1km long structural target. Ongoing drilling at the 840,000oz Rebecca deposit1 has initially focussed on resource definition work in the northern part of the mineralised system, where gold mineralisation within the optimised Rebecca pit shell was not yet drilled to a density that allowed resource classification. Four sections of infill drilling (14 RC holes) have added confidence to geological interpretation and further defined mineralised structures, with intercepts such as 7m @ 4.29g/t Au from 55m in RCLR0756, 5m @ 6.33g/t Au from 15m in RCLR0755, and 7m @ 2.55g/t Au from 93m and 12m @ 1.04g/t Au* from 73m in RCLR0750. The intercepts are likely to add to subsequent Rebecca resource estimations and provide important near-surface mineralisation for any future mine planning purposes. Exploration drilling is also underway along the footwall (east side) of the Rebecca deposit, where only limited exploration had previously been carried out. Apollo’s drilling has identified several locations here mineralised structures are interpreted to splay into footwall geology, and the work current work is testing those areas. Initial drilling has returned hits such as 5m @ 3.10g/t Au* from 80m in RCLR0765, 9m @ 2.13g/t Au from 193m in RCLR0775, and 10m @ 0.86g/t Au* and 10m @ 0.76g/t Au* in an anomalous zone of 35m @ 0.62g/t Au from 160m in RCLR0774. Exploration drilling is continuing, focussing on targets that may provide high-value shallow mineralisation including footwall targets at the Rebecca deposit, additional resource definition drilling of unclassified in-pit Rebecca mineralisation, as well as infill drilling at Cleo to bring this discovery toward Resource status. A series of regional structural targets will also be tested with exploratory drilling. An initial approved drilling program of more than 25,000m will be extended as required as drilling progresses. Assay results are pending for a further 27 RC holes and results will be reported as they come to hand. Apollo has stepped-up technical evaluation work following the recent MRE update. Technical works will run separately and simultaneously to the exploration drilling activities and are being commissioned to allow an engineering review of a range of options for the project and then inform an appropriate mining study. Environmental, geotechnical, hydrological and metallurgical activities are planned in the coming months. The Company remains in an excellent financial position to continue the ongoing exploration and technical work at Lake Rebecca, with $37.2M in consolidated cash as of 20th April 2020.
