Alderan Resources Limited announced results from its continuing 10,000m diamond drilling program at the Cactus Mine, part of the Company's Frisco Project in Utah, USA. Alderan completed drillhole ALCA003 to a depth of 473.10m to test beneath historical workings and ALCA001-002. The hole intersected mineralisation within tourmaline/chalcopyrite veins beneath the deepest level of historical workings, extending known mineralisation to depth. Drillhole ALCA004 and ALCA005 were drilled approximately 185m southeast of ALCA001/ALCA002 to test for extensions to mineralisation beyond the historical Cactus claim boundary and intersected significant widths and grades of mineralisation at shallow depth (74m), including higher gold grades. Historical mining ceased at the claim boundary due to a dispute with the then owner of the neighbouring Comet claim. Alderan's results in ALCA004-005 confirm that mineralisation extended beyond historical claim boundaries and is likely to continue to the Comet Mine to the south-east of the Cactus Mine. The increase in gold grades within ALCA004-005 is also consisent with historical drilling which intersected higher gold grades at the Comet Mine, indicating a horizontal or vertical zonation within the Cactus orebody towards higher gold grades within the Comet Mine, which lies at a higher elevation than the Cactus Mine. Mineralisation intersected in ALCA004-005 was hosted within tourmaline-quartz-pyrite- chalcopyrite breccia, as blebby clasts and within tourmaline-quartz veins or within strongly faulted breccia mineralisation (ALCA005 - 126m to 139m). Alderan has recommenced drilling at Cactus following the Christmas-New Year break at drill hole ALCA008, along strike from ALCA004/005 towards the Comet Mine. The 10,000m+ diamond drill program commenced in late September 2017, aiming to test the grade and extent of mineralisation remaining within the Cactus Mine and the continuity of mineralisation across the 1000m Cactus Corridor. Following the current drill program at Cactus, drilling will move onto the large Accrington copper-skarn and Perseverance porphyry prospect.
