Kairos Minerals Ltd Announces Significant Gold Mineralisation at Mt York Gold Project

Strategic Insights -

Kairos Minerals Ltd has issued a news release announcing the results of a further 19 diamond holes at its Mt York Gold Project in Western Australia's Pilbara region. The company is pleased to report a wide zone of gold mineralisation intercepted at the Main Trend, including a new, high-grade zone of 53m @ 1.45 g/t Au from 212m northwest of Main Hill, which may be an important new discovery. This significant intercept is expected to have a positive impact on the resource of the Main Trend, a 3km-long, continuously mineralised zone.

Key Takeaways:

  • Kairos Minerals Ltd has announced the results of 19 diamond holes at its Mt York Gold Project in Western Australia's Pilbara region.
  • The company has intercepted a new, wide zone of gold mineralisation at the Main Trend, including a high-grade zone of 53m @ 1.45 g/t Au from 212m northwest of Main Hill.
  • This significant intercept is expected to have a positive impact on the resource of the Main Trend, a 3km-long, continuously mineralised zone.
  • The intercept is believed to be proximal to a flexure or closure of a large-scale fold structure, which can be traced along-strike towards Main Hill in one direction and Main Hill Extension on the PLS ground in the other.
  • Further drilling is planned to target the new discovery and convert Inferred resources to higher confidence Indicated resources.
  • The company is confident that Mt York will become one of the Pilbara's - and Western Australia's - largest undeveloped gold resources once drilling is complete.
  • The Stage 1 drilling program has been designed to test the grades and widths of mineralisation and purposely look for extensions of higher-grade pods within the 3,000m-long Main Trend Gold Deposit.
  • Many results released are from Main Hill, which hosts the largest width of banded iron formation (BIF) rocks (100m) and widest zones of mineralisation, but remains the prospect that is most under-drilled due to topographic challenges.
  • The mineralisation intercepted in hole 25MYDD031 is BIF, containing fine-grained arsenopyrite, some brecciation, and quartz veining (Photo 1).
  • Close examination of the core suggests that the mineralisation is proximal to a flexure or closure of a large-scale fold structure, which can be traced along-strike towards Main Hill in one direction and Main Hill Extension on the PLS ground in the other.

Statistics:

  • The total strike length of the Main Trend zone is 3km.
  • The mineralisation intercepted in hole 25MYDD031 is 53m @ 1.45 g/t Au from 212m.
  • The mineralisation is proximal to a flexure or closure of a large-scale fold structure.
  • The Main Hill prospect is 100m wide and hosts the widest zones of mineralisation.
  • The Stage 1 drilling program has been designed to test the grades and widths of mineralisation within the 3,000m-long Main Trend Gold Deposit.
