Azure Minerals is off to a cracking start this week, finding gold mineralisation in its maiden exploration drilling program at the Daisy Corner prospect within its Barton Project in WA.

Best results include:

  • 4m at 0.68g/t Au from 31.0m;
  • 10m at 0.44g/t Au from 55.0m;
  • 10m at 0.52g/t Au from 39.0m, including 1.0m at 3.98g/t Au from 46.0m and 8.0m at 0.59g/t Au from 127.0m;
  • 14: 5.0m at 0.92g/t Au from 1.0m, including 1.0m at 3.44g/t Au from 42.0m and 3.0m at 0.63g/t Au from 54.0m; and
  • 20m at 0.43g/t Au from 17.0m

Follow-up work is underway ahead of the next phase of drilling in Q3 2022.

Widespread gold mineralisation encouraging

Daisy Corner is just 300m north of Genesis Minerals’ (ASX:GMD) Puzzle North gold deposit which has a maiden mineral resource estimate of 232,000oz.

And  Azure Minerals (ASX:AZS) is feeling encouraged that Daisy Corner gold mineralisation extends for 800m along strike to the northwest of GMD’s deposit.

“Given the early exploration stage of the Barton Project, we’re encouraged to have intersected widespread gold mineralisation in our first drilling program,” MD Tony Rovira said.

“Surface exploration is continuing, with geophysical surveys and more drilling to be undertaken over the course of this year.”

The company is now undertaking geological mapping, soil sampling and structural interpretation of the airborne magnetic data to refine the model of the mineralised system.
