Xantippe Resources announced that drilling is due to recommence at its Southern Cross Gold Project, located south of the town of Southern Cross, Western Australia on 14 January 2021. The drilling campaign will consist of up to 5 reverse circulation holes for a total meterage of 1,350m. The drill programme has been designed to expand the known mineralised zones of existing targets at Boodarding. At the Boodarding prospect, RAB, RC and diamond drilling by previous explorers returned encouraging results that are supported by a new geophysical interpretation of the folded metasediments and ultramafic rocks between the Ghooli and Parker granitic domes. XTC commissioned consultant geophysicists, Resource Potentials of Perth, to interpret highresolution magnetic and gravity data alongside publicly available historic drill results. The resultant work has identified structural and lithologically favourable locations for mineralisation at Boodarding. The location and geometry of Boodarding has many similarities to that at Yilgarn Star and drilling by previous explorers has returned similar geology beneath cover. This historic drilling also returned intersections including: Regionally, the belt is a strongly deformed, metamorphosed synformal greenstone composed of a lower unit of quartzmuscovite schist (probably foliated granite) overlain by series of mafic and ultramafic volcanics and sedimentary sequences. The province has a long history of gold production and hosts several +1 millionounce deposits such as Yilgarn Star and Marvel Loch. Five holes have been planned here for 1,350m to test a structural dislocation in the vicinity of the historic drill results.
