Bullabulling Gold Project: Bullabulling Drill Parameters Agreed
Highlights
* The JV partners have agreed with the resource consultants the required
drill spacing to define JORC Indicated resources.
* Indicated JORC spacing is set at 75m North-South by 35m East-West.
* Confirms Bullabulling mineralised zones as unusually continuous and readily
predictable.
* Phase 2 infill drilling now underway will be done using the wider drill
spacing with 25,000+m already completed.
* Less than 45,000 metres of infill drilling are now required to convert the
resource at the Bullabulling Gold Project to the Indicated category.
* The Infill drilling programme will now have a reduced cost and take less
time to complete, releasing drill rigs to accelerate the exploration
programme.
* The substantial historic drilling data acquired on acquisition has now been
significantly duplicated and will now only be used as a supplement to
future JORC resource estimates.
* The current JORC resource estimate is in the process of being finalised
pending sign off by the resource consultants.
The Joint Venture, comprising GGG and Auzex, is pleased to announce that after
a geostatistical review of the new drill data from the Bullabulling Gold
Project, using the conditional simulation technique, the drill density required
to classify the resource estimate into the Indicated category has been
increased to 75m north-south and 35m east-west (from the original 50m
north-south and 25m east-west spacing). The widening of the drill spacing will
reduce both the timeline and cost to complete the current infill drilling
programme along the Bullabulling Trend and confirms Bullabulling as having
consistent and highly predictable mineralisation.
A revised plan and budget has been completed for infill drilling remaining
between Gryphon in the south to Bonecrusher in the north, which is a strike
length of more than eight kilometres.
There is now less than 45,000m of infill drilling required to convert the
Inferred resources to Indicated resources.
That infill drilling should be finished by the end of 2011. Drilling from early
August to the end of September will be dedicated to drilling the remaining
areas between Bacchus, Titan, Phoenix and Hobbit. Drilling of the Dickson's to
Bonecrusher area should be completed by late November. A new resource estimate
will be completed once this phase of drilling has been completed.
The drill spacing study has delayed the finalising of the classification of the
new resource estimate. The new resource estimate is currently being reviewed to
reclassify the estimate using the wider drill spacing, which will increase the
number of ounces in the Indicated category.
