Quarterly Operations Report
Perth, Oct 31, 2012 AEST (ABN Newswire) - During the quarter, Northern Mining Limited (
ASX:NMI) maintained its focus on the East Kalgoorlie Project conducting aircore drilling at the Hake Prospect and diamond drilling programs at Northern Zone Deeps and Snake Hill.
Northern Zone Deeps Prospect (NMI 76%, Balagundi Gold Pty Ltd 24%)
A two hole diamond drill program totalling 899.1 metres was completed at Northern Zone Deeps during the quarter. The program has reinforced previous geological interpretations of a north-south trending structural corridor through the prospect area. This recent drilling, which compliments previous diamond drilling at Northern Zone Deeps, has now identified gold mineralisation over a 300 metre strike length at depth. Mineralisation remains open along strike to the north and south.
The two diamond holes, BNRC034 and BND004, both intersected gold mineralisation within a granodiorite intrusive with associated pervasive hematite-carbonate alteration, fine disseminated pyrite and shallow dipping east-west to northwestsoutheast striking quartz veins.
Significant results from this drilling include:
- 19 metres grading 1.14 g/t Au from 132 metres in drillhole BNRC034; including
-- 0.5 metres grading 15.47 g/t Au from 144.5 metres, and
-- 1.0 metre grading 6.47 g/t Au from 149 metres.
- 4.59 metres grading 2.72 g/t Au from 271.41 metres in drillhole BND004; including
-- 0.64 metres grading 16.36 g/t Au from 271.41 metres.
- 22 metres grading 0.87 g/t Au from 336 metres in drillhole BND004; including
-- 1 metre grading 9.57 g/t Au from 338 metres, and
-- 1 metre grading 2.81 g/t Au from 355 metres.
