Maiden drilling at the St. Arnaud gold project has confirmed broad zones of gold and silver mineralisation under the historic Nelson line of the lode.
The assay results from the 17-hole diamond core drilling program (totalling 4,590m) at the prospect intersected two prominent quartz-sulphide bearing structures containing broad zones of gold mineralisation and rare visible gold.
The St. Arnaud prospect is located 240km north-west of Melbourne.
The drilling tested potential beneath and adjacent to the Comstock open pit which was last mined late last century. The drilling also highlights the development of a higher-grade, steeply south plunging gold shoot around the intersection of the bedding parallel to the Comstock pit.
The Nelson Line is one of three main lines of reef worked within the historical 400,000-ounce St. Arnaud Goldfield.
