Saturn Metals Limited announced that a 25,000m AC drilling program is underway to explore and develop our large prospective land package surrounding the 1.47Moz1 Apollo Hill Gold Mineral Resource. A first pass wide spaced drill pattern is initially being employed across the package to maximise coverage and look for major new gold systems that warrant follow up drilling. Work is focussing within a 30km radius of the current Apollo Hill Resource as we work towards developing additional satellite prospects to add to and further develop the project.

A similar strategy employed last year in new areas identified the Hercules, Artemis and Aquarius gold systems with respective intersections including: 21m @ 1.44g/t Au from 23m including 7m @ 3.80g/t Au from 23m in AHRC0925. 4m @ 4.08g/t Au from 40m within 33m @ 0.73g/t Au from 24m in AHRC0672. 13m @ 1.32g/t Au from 56m including 4m @ 4.31g/t Au from 56m ­ AHAC0464.

Apollo Hill (29.15°S and 121.68°E) is located approximately 60km south-east of Leonora in the heart of WA's goldfields region. The deposit and the Apollo Hill project are 100% owned by Saturn and are surrounded by good infrastructure and several significant gold deposits. The Apollo Hill Project has the potential to become a large tonnage, simple metallurgy, low strip open pit mining operation.

In addition, Saturn has a second quality gold exploration project in Australia. The Company has an option to earn an 85% joint venture interest in the West Wyalong Project, which represents a high-grade vein opportunity on the highly gold prospective Gilmore suture within the famous Lachlan Fold belt of NSW. The Apollo Hill project comprises two deposits/trends: the main Apollo Hill deposit in the northwest of the project area, and the smaller Ra-Tefnut Deposits in the south.

Gold mineralization is associated with quartz veins and carbonate-pyrite alteration along a steeply north-east dipping contact between felsic rocks to the west, and mafic dominated rocks to the east. The combined mineralized zones extend over a strike length of approximately 2.4 km and have been intersected by drilling to approximately 350 m vertical depth. The depth of complete oxidation averages around 4 m with depth to fresh rock averaging around 21 m.
