Boxdale-Carlisle Gold Trend above Large

Ultramafic Intrusive

BOXDALE-CARLISLE REEFS: GOLD TARGET

  • New 3D magnetic interpretation highlights 20km long, elongate magnetic ultramafic body underneath the Boxdale - Carlisle Reefs gold trend

  • Magnetic feature interpreted to be the source feeder to gold mineralisation in the overlying deformed sedimentary rocks

  • The large size of the magnetic body provides scope for a sizeable gold system

  • RC drilling at Boxdale has been completed with 23 holes for 2,370m and gold assays (3,440) pending results from drilling at Boxdale and Carlisle Reefs

New 3D magnetic inversion modelling of detailed 50m spaced arial magnetics demonstrates evidence for a 20km long, elongate, magnetic, ultramafic rock (gabbro) underneath the Boxdale-Carlisle Reefs gold trend.

The gabbro was a possible heat source driver and/or fluid conduit for the gold mineralisation and the size of the gabbro provides scope for a large hydrothermal gold system. Recent drill intercepts are encouraging such as 5m at 4.16g/t from 24m within 33m at 1.10g/t Au from 3m (ASX AGC 2nd March 2022).

Southeast along trend, the ultramafic rock outcrops as a large hill called Mount Derriwong, as an altered gabbro (hornblendite and hornblende diorite with pyroxenite xenoliths,) which is magnetic and importantly, late Ordovician in age (458-443 million years (NSW Geological Survey, Seamless Geology, Minview). This rock age is an important period for mineralisation across the NSW Lachlan Fold Belt.

The overlying sediments hosting the gold have been strongly deformed (folded, faulted and chemically altered by hot fluids carrying gold) and the gold mineralisation is interpreted to have been sourced from the gabbro.

RC drilling at Boxdale has been completed with 23 holes for 2,370m and gold assays (3,440) pending results from drilling at Boxdale and Carlisle Reefs.

AGC Projects Overview

AGC's portfolio located in the Central Lachlan Fold Belt of NSW includes the Moorefield gold project exploring for multi-million ounce orogenic gold deposits, the Cargelligo copper-gold/base-metal project in the southern Cobar Super-Basin exploring for Hera and Federation style deposits, and the Gundagai gold project, exploring for multi-million ounce McPhillamy's type gold deposits.
