Mutiny identifies +500,000 oz gold mineralisation target at Bounty prospect
within White Well
HIGHLIGHTS
.
+ 500,000 oz gold mineralisation target at Bounty prospect
delineated following recently completed "first phase" drilling program and
review of all available historical data,
.
Recently completed Mutiny drilling program confirmed Bounty
prospect contains 6km of known mineralisation host lithologies and is the
northern extension of the Tuckabianna Greenstone Belt, abutting Silver Lake
Resources Tuckabianna tenements,
.
Delineation of a major resource at Bounty will add significantly
to the economics of the adjacent WhiteWell Gold Project, and
.
Mutiny is currently planning extensive follow-up exploration
program to commence in Q1 2010.
Australian diversified resources and exploration company, Mutiny Gold Ltd
(ASX: MYG) ("Mutiny" or "the Company") has, following its recently completed
"first phase" drilling program and review of all available historical data,
delineated a +500,000 oz gold target at the Bounty gold prospect within the
CompanysWhiteWell Gold Project inWestern Australia.
The White Well Gold Project is located 30km east of Cue in the Tuckabianna
Mineral Field in Western Australias Murchison Goldfields.
The Tuckabianna
Greenstone Belt is host to over 500,000oz Au in undeveloped resources and
has a historic production of over 500,000oz Au.
In September 2009 Mutiny embarked on an eleven-hole first phase drill
program (totalling 1546m) designed to test both the strike and dip
extensions of the identified mineralisation zones within the Bounty
Prospect.
This drilling concentrated on the mineralisation within the
mafic-BIF layered sequence, which is the regional mineralisation host
throughout the Tuckabianna Greenstone Belt.
Results from the drilling program (see ASX announcement 5 November 2009)
include 1m @ 9.61g/t Au and 1m @ 5.77 g/t Au with zones of gold
mineralisation including 10m @ 1.20 g/t Au and 7m @ 1.81 g/t Au.
These
grades are in line with shallow open pittable resources defined along strike
to the south, which average approximately 2.5-3.0 g/t Au throughout the
Tuckabianna Belt.
These results, together with an extensive desktop review of available
exploration data by inhouse technical staff, has confirmed that the Bounty
gold prospect consists of regional gold hosts including Banded Iron
Formations (BIF) and granitic contacts totalling 6km of untested potential
mineralisation hosts) situated in the northern end of the Tuckabianna
Greenstone Belt, abutting Silver Lake Resources Tuckabianna tenements.
"The Bounty gold prospect appears from our review of all available data to
be the northern extension of the Tuckabianna Greenstone Belt, which has an
extensive history of producing large, low-grade ore bodies," said Mutiny
Gold Managing Director, Mr John Greeve.
"The difference between this area of the Tuckabianna Greenstone Belt and the
southern portion is that it has never been extensively explored or mined.
"This represents a significant opportunity for Mutiny Gold, and we will now
conduct an aggressive exploration program at the project to determine the
full extent of the mineralisation and produce an initial JORC Compliant
resource as soon as possible."
The next phase of exploration at the Bounty Gold Project will involve an
extensive surface mapping program coupled with a geochemical sampling
program along all interpreted BIF and ultra mafic units within the tenement.
Mutiny is also currently investigating the possibility of further target
definition through the use of resistivity geophysics targeting high grade
sulphide rich ore bodies within the BIF and granitic units.
This targeting
phase will lead to drill programs in Q1 2010 which will follow up targets
defined in phase one and test targets from the mapping, geochemical and
geophysical programs.
Delineation of a major resource at Bounty will add significantly to the
economics of the adjacent White Well Gold Project (White Well).
White Well
hosts total estimated resources of 113,000oz gold.
The Company completed a Scoping Study in early 2009 (see ASX announcement
February 18 2009), which confirmed preliminary modelling and sensitivity
analysis estimates net cash flows of A$22M at a gold price of A$1,300/oz, of
A$34M at A$1,450/oz and of A$47M at A$1,600/oz.
