Returns anomalous gold and copper values associated with elsic and dacitic porphyry intrusions following drilling at the Euro Basalt at the Kelly’s Prospect at its Ragged Range project in Western Australia. Says best intercepts are 8 metres at 1.31% copper and 0.1 grams per tonne of gold from four metres and 1 metres at 0.91 grams per tonne of gold from 40 metres. Adds that a previously reported drill hole which was reported to have returned 12.2 grams per tonne of gold was an erroneous results based on the laboratory making a sample swap with an internal standard. The assay is subsequently reported as less than 0.01 grams per tonne of gold. Managing Director Nicole Galloway Warland says: ‘Disappointingly, due to a testing error at the Bureau Veritas laboratory, the high-grade gold result announced in November was erroneous... These latest drill results are encouraging; however, further work is required to fully explain why the high-grade gold and copper in surface rock chips is not repeated in very shallow drill intersections.’
