Talgai Drilling Completed
Queensland Gold Hills has completed its inaugural drill campaign at the Big Hill property in the Talgai Goldfields.
A total of 1457 metres of reverse circulation drilling has been completed in 11 holes.
All samples have been shipped to an analytical lab in Brisbane for assaying, with results pending.
The objective of the drill program was to gain deeper understanding of the nature and location of the feeder systems beneath the historical workings of the Queenslander mine.
All drill holes intersected the Queenslander vein system, providing sufficient samples to determine the continuity and tenor of mineralisation approx-imately 100 metres down dip from the base of historical workings.
Queensland Gold Hills looks forward to receiving the assays to better under-standing the mineralised veining identified under the historic workings.
Queensland Gold Hills CEO and Director Blair Way said the drill program went very well.
“As expected, we encountered mineralisation below the historical workings where we were targeting exploration,” Mr Way said.
“We were able to complete the program on a shorter timeline than was anticipated as we intercepted the veining in sufficient pierce points to effectively evaluate these potential feeder sites.
“We look forward to announcing assay results in the coming weeks.”
The Big Hill Gold Property covers 24 square kilometres to the west of the Pratten township and contains four historic mines.
The Titan Project covers 90 square kilometres, surrounding Big Hill on three sides, and contains over 50 historic high-grade mines.
