Labyrinth Gold Project, Canada

Maiden Underground Drilling Program at Labyrinth Continues to Deliver Mineralised Intercepts across Multiple Lodes

Maiden JORC Resource on track for September quarter

Key Points

  • Maiden underground exploration program at the flagship Labyrinth Gold Project in Quebec approaching completion with over 4,390m of diamond drilling completed
  • Assays are pending for 8 holes, with 6 expected to be received in the next two weeks and the final hole in the initial program underway
  • Visual logging of core indicating successful intercepts of multiple modelled gold lodes within the Labyrinth deposit
  • Upon completion of the underground program, surface drilling to commence in late June targeting significant mineralisation extensions to depths of up to 400m below current known resource
  • Discussions advanced with independent geological consultants and metallurgical test-work commenced to support compilation of maiden JORC resource, expected in the September quarter

Labyrinth Resources (ASX: LRL) ('Labyrinth' or 'the Company') is pleased to advise that the maiden underground diamond drilling program at its Labyrinth Gold Project in Canada continues to return highly encouraging mineralised intercepts of modelled targets based on visual inspection of the core.

Labyrinth Chief Executive Matt Nixon said: "We are extremely pleased with the progress at Labyrinth as we continue to intercept mineralisation across multiple historically modelled lodes through the first genuine exploration conducted in over ten years.

"The fact that we have a readily accessible underground mine provides a real point of difference to our exploration focus in regards to interpretation and comprehension of the mineralisation that has historically been mined across four levels down to 130m below surface.

"The initial underground drilling program has delivered great results in support of establishing a significant maiden JORC resource later this year and we now immediately turn our attention to the commencement of a surface diamond drilling campaign.

"The surface exploration will target a genuine step change in the scale of this deposit, drilling holes up to 400m deeper than the current known resource and seeking to unlock the growth potential of the substantial 1.4km of currently modelled strike".

Underground Diamond Drilling

The maiden underground diamond drilling program at Labyrinth Gold Project consists of ~5,000m across 17 holes targeting the known resource to enable conversion of the NI43-101 Resource compiled in 2010 to JORC classification. The drilling has progressed well since commencing in mid-February, with sixteen holes now completed for 4,389.5m and producing successful intercepts of multiple modelled gold lodes, as well as indicating potential to immediately extend the strike of the McDowell, Talus and Front West lodes.

The resulting core has presented strongly sheared and silicified packages with multiple stages of veining evident, with both discrete veining with fine pyrite and wider pervasive mineralisation containing prevalent sulphides at the margins, particularly in Boucher which has produced a significant visual interval interpretation of 16m in LABU- 22-14.

Surface Diamond Drilling

Preparations are well advanced for the commencement of a surface diamond drilling campaign immediately following completion of the underground program. The program will consist of ~3,000m across 5 holes covering over 1km in strike of the Labyrinth gold deposit and will be targeting the extension of the known resource to the significant depth of ~700m below surface.

The holes will drill through extension targets of all five existing lodes, as well as identify possible unmodelled repeat gold bearing structures, with target depths potentially providing resource extension of between 250m (Boucher) and 400m (McDowell & Talus) as indicated in Figure 2.
