Tectonic Gold Plc - Drilling Update From Mount Cassidy Project

Tectonic Gold Plc - Drilling Update From Mount Cassidy Project

PR Newswire

9 February 2021

TECTONIC GOLD PLC

("Tectonic Gold" or the "Company")

Drilling update from MOUNT CASSIDY Project

Tectonic Gold plc (TDIM: TTAU), the specialist Intrusive Related Gold System ("IRGS") explorer, is pleased to announce further progress of the January 2021 drill program at Mount Cassidy, in Queensland, Australia.

Mount Cassidy Highlights:

  • 7 Holes completed for 778m, all intersecting gold bearing sulphides
  • Maintains our 100% targeting accuracy record
  • Previous surface sampling returned assays of +30g/t gold
  • Historic mining records show +15g/t gold processed
  • Textbook IRGS system confirmed
  • Incident free campaign extending our perfect safety record

Mr. Brett Boynton, Managing Director - Tectonic Gold Plc commented:

"We are very encouraged with the visual review of samples from the drilling at Mt Cassidy so far. The team has completed 7 holes with mineralisation intersected in every hole, maintaining our perfect record in drill targeting. We know from our extensive surface sampling and historic mining records, that high grade gold at Cassidy is associated with pyrites, which we have picked up in all of the holes to date.

We have a strict safety-first policy, so with a major weather system nearby we have put drilling on hold temporarily with 4 holes to go. From drilling completed thus far, we have sufficient sampling to give us an excellent data set for our initial proofing analysis. Mt. Cassidy is an important project as Tectonic have made a discovery here which further justifies our IRGS methodology and advanced exploration technologies used to identify a system that had very limited surface expression.

We have tied together a number of disparate, historic, and artisanal scale operations which we tested with a broad soil sampling program which has provided indications that a large system might tie it together. We have followed this work up with an innovative, deep penetrating, geophysics survey that showed the structure of a major undercover system. Hitting mineralisation at depth in our reconnaissance drilling program is a confirmation of many years of field programmes; we are slowly putting this jigsaw puzzle together and we are extremely excited to have samples in the lab and ready for assay.

Mt. Cassidy gives us a rapidly advancing follow-on project which will become the focus should we progress our plans to partner on or sell down our nearby Specimen Hill project.

We have fielded a lot of interest following our announcement that drilling had begun at Mt Cassidy, so have provided a detailed summary of each of the holes below to share some of our thinking and how we are working this project."

Exploration Update:

The January 2021 drilling campaign at the Mount Cassidy Prospect completed 7 of a planned 11 holes with 4 holes postponed due to weather.

Samples have all been collected and logged and are in the laboratory for processing. Assay results will be reported in due course.

Sulphides have been successfully intersected in every hole that was drilled.

About the Mount Cassidy Prospect:

The Mount Cassidy prospect is located near Tectonic Gold's flagship Specimen Hill project, approximately 50km NW of the regional centre of Rockhampton, Queensland Australia.

A large ovoid 4km2 magmatic hydrothermal IRGS system, confirmed from mineral chemistry and geophysical research, has been further assessed through a collaborative research project between CODES and Tectonic Gold.

Gold bearing veins emanating within this porphyry system have been historically mined with grades of 15g/t Au recorded from selective mining.

Geological mapping of the hydrothermal system at Mount Cassidy has confirmed classic porphyry style potassic and phyllic alteration over a large area that has been overprinted by gold bearing fluids emanating from a regional reidel-style shear system that cross-cuts the prospect.

Tectonic Gold holds a number of gold discoveries in the New England Orogen in Eastern Australia, a prolific gold region that is home to Australia's two largest gold production companies, Newcrest Mining and Evolution Mining. Rio Tinto, one of the largest copper companies in the world has recently taken a large tenement alongside Tectonic's Specimen Hill project

Zeitenwende! 3 Uranaktien vor der Neubewertung
Ende Mai leitete US-Präsident Donald Trump mit der Unterzeichnung mehrerer Dekrete eine weitreichende Wende in der amerikanischen Energiepolitik ein. Im Fokus: der beschleunigte Ausbau der Kernenergie.

Mit einem umfassenden Maßnahmenpaket sollen Genehmigungsprozesse reformiert, kleinere Reaktoren gefördert und der Anteil von Atomstrom in den USA massiv gesteigert werden. Auslöser ist der explodierende Energiebedarf durch KI-Rechenzentren, der eine stabile, CO₂-arme Grundlastversorgung zwingend notwendig macht.

In unserem kostenlosen Spezialreport erfahren Sie, welche 3 Unternehmen jetzt im Zentrum dieser energiepolitischen Neuausrichtung stehen, und wer vom kommenden Boom der Nuklearindustrie besonders profitieren könnte.
