Golden Cross Resources Limited has received further soil geochemical results as part of an ongoing program to cover target areas of the Copper Hill tenement Exploration Licence 6391, north of Molong, NSW. Completion of further sampling has been delayed by rain events disrupting sampling and interim results are presented herein. Infill and extension sampling of surface soils is designed to extend coverage based on an MGA grid [MGA z55 GDA94] over areas of Copper Hill and surrounds that are potential future infrastructure sites [e.g., waste rock stack and tailings storage areas] and where some past sampling has been analysed for a limited number of elements, leaving significant gaps in the multi-element coverage of target areas.

A review of the plotted data shows that soil copper is elevated to the northeast of the open cut and low over the open cut area itself; this correlates with previous oxide drilling observations which show copper depleted in the upper parts of the oxide zone and gold remaining as a residual in the open cut area. Soil copper is elevated to the southeast of Wattle Hill and presents a zone open to the southeast for further extension sampling. The soil distribution of elevated gold, parallels the overall interpreted northwest trending corridor linking Little Copper Hill in the north with Wattle Hill in the south.

When access conditions permit, further stages of sampling are planned to the southeast to test for extensions of the elevated copper zone and to the north towards Shades Road prospect, where limited previous low tenor results suggested subsurface source.
