Manuka Resources Limited provided an update on recent drilling programs at the Company's Mt Boppy gold deposit at Canbelego, NSW. Since its IPO Manuka has undertaken four drill programs to test the extent of high-grade mineralisation beneath the Mt Boppy designed pit, with assays received from three of the four programs thus far. A comprehensive 3,139m grade control drilling program at an average 10m spacing within the existing Mt Boppy pit was completed in November 2020, to confirm the extent of gold ore remaining within the current designed pit. Based on the gold assay results received and modelled to date, the Resource Update in all categories totals 362,430 tonnes @ 4.62g/t Au for a total contained 53,870oz Au. Based on the gold assay results received and modelled to date, the Resource Update in all categories totals 362,430 tonnes @ 4.62g/t Au for a total contained 53,870oz Au. The Mt Boppy Resource Update is a 23% increase in contained ounces vs the last reported JORC Resource and around a 20% improvement in grade. This calculation excludes the circa 16,000oz Au equivalent depletion following the September 2016 Resource. Within the current pit design, the Measured and Indicated Resource now totals 217,580 tonnes @ 4.19g/t Au, containing 29,320 ounces Au (with a 1.6g/t cut off). Below the current pit design, the Measured, Indicated and Inferred Resource now totals 144,850 tonnes @ 5.27g/t Au, containing 24,550 ounces Au (with a 3.0g/t cut off). The updated Resource has 207,230 tonnes @ 4.89g/t Au in the Measured Category for a subtotal of 32,570oz Au, 144,200 tonnes @ 4.15g/t Au in the Indicated Category for a subtotal of 19,300oz Au & 11,000 tonnes @ 6.7g/t in the Inferred Category for a sub total of 2,000oz Au. The assay results of the fourth `below pit' drill program, due in late February 2021, could yield further upside to the Mt Boppy Resource.
