High Grade Drilling Results at Eureka

Highlights

  • Diamond drilling confirms high grade ore shoot continues beneath Eureka pit

  • Best Intersections include :

    • o 14m @ 4.58 g/t Au from 103m including 1m @ 41.80g/t from 105m (18EKDD09)

    • o 4.0m @ 3.33g/t Au from 98.0m (18EKDD012)

    • o 0.4m @ 31.0 g/t Au from 170.9m (18EKDD02)

    • o 1.0m @ 7.63g/t Au from 122m (18EKDD08)

    • o 0.92m @ 5.9g/t Au from 130.58m (18EKDD08)

  • High grade channel samples across ore at base of pit :

    • o 4.0m @ 20.7g/t Au

    • o 5.6m @ 13.1g/t Au

  • JORC estimate to be updated to drive decision to commence mining study

Tyranna Resources Limited (ASX: TYX) ('Tyranna' or 'the Company'), is pleased to announce that drilling has been completed at its 100% owned Eureka Gold Project located 50km north of the gold mining centre of Kalgoorlie, Western Australia.

The drilling program, comprising 2,040 metres for 13 holes, was successful in intersecting the high-grade ore shoot beneath the recently completed open pit (refer Figure 1 and 2). Diamond drilling was designed to target the interpreted south plunging ore shoot that had been mined in the pit by the previous owners.

Mapping in the Eureka pit revealed that mineralisation was associated with quartz veining with minor sulphides contained within a broader zone of shearing and foliation. Channel sampling conducted across the ore zone before mining was completed in April 2018 indicates the presence of high grade mineralisation beneath and along strike of the current pit. Figure 4 shows the position of the ore zone in the north wall and an ore drive that was developed in 1996. Decline development that was completed in 1996 is illustrated in figure 5. The project was not progressed due to the prevailing gold price at that time.

Between October 2017 and April 2018 a tribute arrangement under the previous owners of the Eureka project resulted in the mining of 53,000 tonnes at 3.3 g/t for production of 5,400 ounces. Historic production between 1985 and 1989 totalled 220,000t @ 4.5g/t containing 32,000oz.

The deeper drilling, as part of the recent programme, intersected the interpreted mineralised zone with strong foliation and disseminated sulphides but the absence of quartz veining meant that only low grades were generally returned. There is very limited drilling down plunge of the pit so it is possible that the interpreted shoot does plunge at a steeper angle. Tyranna will now complete an updated JORC resource estimate, after which a decision will be made to commence a mining study to evaluate the opportunity of mining and toll treating to nearby processing mills.
