Visible Gold Intersected at the Patricia Gold Project

Highlights

  • Maiden 1,000m Diamond Drilling program has commenced at the Patricia Gold Project

  • Visible gold intersected in Diamond hole PTODH 001 at 165.6m- a twin hole to previously reported PTORC 024 that intersected 5m @ 37.11 g/t Au from 154m including 1m @ 90.4 g/t Au, 1m @ 63.6 g/t Au, 1m @ 16 g/t Au and 1m @ 13.25 g/t Au

  • Diamond drilling planned to target high grade gold mineralisation at depth while also seeking further structural and lithological information to potentially resolve the structural complexity seen at the Project thus far

  • Patricia Gold Mine historically produced 5,384 oz's of gold from 4115 tonnes of ore at an average grade of 41 g/t Au (1930-1937)

  • The current Patricia open pit is approximately 800m long x 150m wide and was previously mined to a depth of 25m

Patricia Diamond Drilling Program

OzAurum Resources Ltd (ASX: OZM or OzAurum or the Company) is pleased to announce the commencement of its maiden 1,000 metre (m) Diamond Drill program at the Patricia Gold Project, situated North-East of Kalgoorlie in the Eastern Goldfields of Western Australia, which has so far intersected visible gold.

Diamond hole PTODH 001 is the first diamond hole drilled by OzAurum at the Patricia Gold Project. This hole was planned to twin Reverse Circulation (RC) hole PTORC 024 that previously intersected 5m @ 37.11 g/t Au from 154m including 1m @ 90.4 g/t Au, 1m @ 63.6 g/t Au, 1m @ 16 g/t Au and 1m @ 13.25 g/t Au. Results from this hole, which has been planned to be drilled to a depth of 200m, also aims to provide valuable structural information related to high grade gold mineralisation at the Patricia Gold Project. In addition to this initial twin hole, the Company has planned a number of step-out Diamond drill holes as part of this initial 1,000m program.

The visible gold intersected has associated pyrite,chalcopyrite and electrum mineralisation hosted in quartz veining within an ultramafic unit. Gold mineralisation at Patricia is also hosted in the alteration selvage either side of the mineralised quartz veins.

This first hole is part of a 1,000m diamond drilling program planned for Patricia, with diamond drilling seen as the potential key to unlocking the structural complexity seen at the project.

Initial holes will twin previously reported RC drilling high grade gold intercepts, and information from these initial diamond holes will be used to plan deeper holes targeting high grade gold mineralisation at depth.

Patricia Gold Project Geology and Background Information

The Patricia Gold Project is situated within the Celia Tectonic Zone that hosts numerous large gold deposits and operating gold mines including Sunrise Dam, Deep South, Safari Bore, Linden and the Anglo Saxon Gold Mine.

At the Patricia segment of the Celia Tectonic Zone the greenstone sequence consists of intermediate to felsic volcanics and volcaniclastics with interleaved ultramafic and banded iron formation. The Patricia Gold Project is situated on a significant flexure of the greenstone stratigraphy with the strike changing from 320° to 350° back to 320°. This change in strike direction represents a dilation jog which is a classic structural trap for gold fluids. Coincidently a large intermediate porphyry body intrudes the greenstone sequence at this point.

The historic Patricia Gold Mine was discovered in 1930 and mined underground up until 1937. During this time the Patricia Gold Mine produced 5,384 oz's of gold from 4115 tonnes of ore at an average grade of 41 g/t Au.

Aztec Exploration Ltd commenced modern exploration in 1983 at Patricia. Aztec produced a very high quality dataset of geological information based on a RC drilling, diamond drilling, costeaning and geological mapping. Subsequently Aztec established an open mining operation in 1986 with small CIP treatment plant located onsite.

The current Patricia open pit is some 800m long x 150m wide and was mined to a depth of 25 metres.

OzAurum's Chief Executive Officer, Andrew Pumphrey, said:

"The Company is very excited about the Diamond drilling program currently underway at the Patricia Gold Project. The intersection of visible gold in our first diamond hole at Patricia is a fantastic result, and further validates the high-grade gold potential of the Patricia Gold Project. In addition, the Company is confident that the 1,000m Diamond Drilling program will provide valuable lithological and structural geology at this project, aimed at making a significant discovery at depth. We look forward to completing this program at Patricia, and eagerly await assay results from the drilling already completed."
