EganStreet Resources announced a significant acceleration of the exploration campaign at its Rothsay gold project in WA, with a third drill rig now operating. The company now has two diamond rigs and one RC rig drilling at Rothsay as part of its strategy to both grow and upgrade the confidence of the existing Resource base of 307,000oz. The exploration programme includes infill and extensional drilling on Woodley's and Woodley's East Shears, as well as regional diamond and RC drilling on the Orient, Clyde, Clyde East and the Miners Shears. Diamond drilling resumed early last week on the Orient, Clyde and Clyde East Shears. This is targeting an area in the south which closely resembles the British Queen area on the Woodley's Shear. The diamond rig will then move to the Miners Shear. The regional drilling programme is designed to test for mineralisation, targeting intercepts at least 200m from surface, which is well below historic workings. Diamond drilling has also started to test down-plunge mineralisation in the deeper portions of the Woodley's Shear to upgrade areas of the Inferred Resource to the Indicated classification. Additional diamond holes have also been designed targeting the Woodley's East Shear. The RC rig continues to target the central and southern portions of the resource on Woodley's East and the northern extension on Woodley's Shear. The RC rig will then move to test targets on the Clyde and Miners lines of lode. The latest assays at Rothsay contain more high-grade drill results which continue to demonstrate the outstanding potential to grow the Resource. The latest results are from both the RC and diamond drilling which was completed prior to Christmas, targeting the shallower mineralised positions, on the Woodley's East Shear, and extensions to the north of Woodley's Shear. The results also include assays from infill and extensional diamond drilling conducted in the southern and central areas of the existing Resource. EganStreet Managing Director Marc Ducler said the additional drill rig reflected the company's confidence in the exploration potential at Rothsay. Diamond Drilling Update: Nine diamond drill holes for 3,430m were completed in the December quarter with drilling continuing after the Christmas period. Assay results have now been received for the five outstanding holes with RYDD045 and RYDD047 drilled in the central part of the resource successfully intersecting the Woodley's and Woodley's East Shears. These holes returned 0.66m at 27.3g/t Au from 428.3m and 0.33m at 59.0g/t Au from 376.15m, demonstrating that the Resource remains open at depth, in both the Woodley's and Woodley's East Shears. RYDD043, 044 and 046 intersected the Woodley's and Woodley's East Shear positions where expected, with weak gold mineralisation. A number of hanging-wall shears were also intersected including 0.4m at 6.6g/t Au in RYDD044 from 244.4m and 0.3m at 3.5g/t Au in RYDD046 from 235.4m. These mineralised positions are in the hanging-wall of the existing Woodley's East Shear within the Woodley's mafic package and will be followed up. The 2nd diamond drill rig has now commenced drilling a further seven holes targeting the deeper portions of the Woodley's Shear Resource and to infill areas of inferred material. Three diamond holes have also been designed targeting the Woodley's East Shear. The initial diamond drilling on the Orient, Clyde & Clyde East Shears, which recommenced early last week, is targeting an area in the south that closely resembles the British Queen area on the Woodley's Shear. The drill holes have been designed on the interpreted dip (based on the high resolution magnetic survey interpretation) and presence of the most intense historic workings on this shear. The diamond rig will then move to the Miners Shear were a programme has been designed. This will be the first regional exploration drilling at depth of any substance in the history of Rothsay. RC Drilling Update: The latest ongoing RC drilling programme of which of 21 holes were completed for 1,838m in late 2017 were designed to: infill and test the Woodley's East mineralisation and potentially extend the resource to the north; infill and extend down dip the Woodley's northern extension. Results were returned for these holes that were drilled testing the northern extents of the Woodley's East resource. The programme appears to confirm the northern extent of this shear with moderate mineralisation returned in RHRC011 and RHRC035. Drilling also targeted the Woodley ultramafic where previous drilling intersected hanging-wall mineralisation in this unit. Follow-up work is currently underway with the Woodley ultramafic hanging-wall Shears returning 1.0m at 11.5g/t Au from 90m in RHRC035, 1.0m at 7.73g/t Au from 69m in RHRC050 and 1.0m at 5.7g/t Au from 96m in RHRC040. Four holes were drilled in the northern extension, with a further four holes planned to be drilled to test the down dip extension of the Woodley's Shear. Results received include 1.0m at 5.85g/t Au from 146m in RHRC049. A number of RC holes remain to be drilled on this programme, in the central and southern portions of the resource with drilling currently underway. The drill rig will then move to test targets on the Clyde and Miners lines of lode where the next phase of RC drilling has been planned.
