Nelson Resources Limited announced the results from an aircore drilling program completed between July and September at the Woodline and Tempest projects. Nelson Resources Limited has completed an aircore drilling program at the Woodline and Tempest projects with a total of 187 holes completed for 7431m. The Company has received all of the assay results for the 4m composites from the aircore drilling.

At Woodline, numerous anomalous aircore drilling results have confirmed and identified extensions to the existing zones of interest. The results from the Socrates prospect require follow-up aircore drilling to further define targets for future RC drilling. At the Grindall and Redmill prospects, several existing zones of anomalous gold in weathered basement have been confirmed.

The aircore program at Tempest is the first drilling program conducted by the Company at this project. The anomalous gold results in the weathered profile indicate the potential extension to the already identified gold system present at the Pion project (IGO/Rumble Resources) located immediately to the south and adjoining the Tempest project. The principal objective of this wide-spaced (100m) aircore drilling program was to generate targets for future RC drilling by: Confirming the gold distribution at existing targets.

Drill testing gold-in-soil anomalies that were untested or poorly tested. Extending the defined mineralisation over existing targets to expand the footprint of existing RC drilling targets. All of the aircore drilling was completed to blade refusal and holes were able to penetrate the weathered zone to reach basement in all cases.

Although the holes were drilled to a variety of depths, the actual drilling depths were less than anticipated, hence the total overall metres completed in the program were less than planned.
