| ABSTRACT: | Middle Island Resources Limited (ASX: MDI, Middle Island, the Company) has received final assay results for the priority deeper exploration diamond drilling targets adjacent to the Two Mile Hill deposit (Figure 1) at the Company’s wholly-owned Sandstone gold project in WA. This programme, comprising five holes for 1,211m, was designed to respectively extend and confirm gold mineralisation within the upper and middle BIF targets adjacent to the mineralised Two Mile Hill tonalite intrusive at depths of 150m to 260m, plus generate additional diamond core samples at Shillington North for metallurgical comminution testing. More significant gold intercepts within the BIF units are provided in Table 1 below. These include 0.3m at 18.3g/t Au and 3m at 9.10g/t Au, including 0.3m at 97.0g/t Au, within the upper BIF, along with other more sporadic results within both the upper and middle BIF units. Middle Island has also received all assay results from a recently completed RC sterilisation drilling programme for the proposed Shillington/Two Mile Hill waste dump extension and Twin Shafts/Eureka tailings embankment extension at Sandstone. Sterilisation drilling is normally undertaken at a proposed or active mine site to ensure areas for proposed mine site infrastructure do not host substantive and economic mineralisation. The Shillington/Two Mile Hill drill-hole locations are shown on Figure 1 below. The RC sterilisation drilling programme comprised 46 holes for 3,756m and was primarily designed to sterilise the area immediately surrounding the existing Shillington/Two Mile Hill waste dump, located immediately northwest of the Two Mile Hill deposit, to accommodate the envisaged waste dump expansion. A minor component of the programme was also dedicated to sterilising those areas likely to be impacted by a lift on (or extension of) the Twin Shafts tailings impoundment embankment, located immediately west of the processing plant. | |
