The small cap leader today was gold explorer Sihayo Gold (ASX:SIH) after announcing positive results for three more holes in the current drilling program at the company’s Sihayo Starter Project in North Sumatra, Indonesia.

All three holes returned significant gold intercepts, including:

  • Hole SHDD653 intersected 50.0m @ 7.75g/t Au from 215m, including 22.0m @ 13.14g/t Au from 228m;
  • Hole SHDD651 intersected 32.0m @ 4.73g/t Au from 249m, including 18.0m @ 7.55g/t Au from 263m; and
  • Hole SHDD652 intersected 10.55m @ 3.09g/t Au from 305m, including 4.55m @ 4.98g/t Au from 311m.

SIH said 14 holes for 4,736m of diamond drilling have been completed to date with follow-up drilling program testing potential extensions to known deeper high grade gold mineralisation at Sihayo.

“We believe the Sihayo gold deposit, which appears to be strengthening in both grade and thickness at depth, is analogous to the multi-million ounce Cortez Hills gold deposit in Nevada,” executive chairman Colin Moorhead said.

With these latest intercepts, we believe there is strong potential to grow the resource and further strengthen the case for an independent underground operation at Sihayo.”
