Drilling to date has focused on the Eclipse target within the licence, specifically the area to the immediate north and south of the Eclipse shaft, which historically produced 954 tonnes @ 24.6 g/t Au for 754.25 oz Au.\n \n \n Further significant results received include:\n \n \n · \n Drillhole ECRC20_009: 3m @ 21.96 g/t gold ('Au') from 45m(including 1m @ 56.9 g/t Au) - this is 30m along strike of existing historical workings and represents a previously unidentified extension to the main high-grade lode \n \n \n · \n Drillhole ECRC20_037: 8m @ 3.2 g/t Au from 133m(including 3m @ 4.45 g/t Au) - the deepest hole drilled to date and approximately 40m below the previously reported result of 11m at 3.04g/t (refer announcement 28 October 2020) indicating the mineralised structure remains open at depth and along strike\n \n \n · \n Drillhole ECRC20_039 (refer announcement 28 October 2020) includes 4m @ 4.98 g/t Au\n \n \n · \n Drillhole ECRC20_005: 8m @ 2.14 g/t Au from 42m\n \n \n The results provide confirmation of extensions to previously defined mineralisation both along strike from the old workings, and at depth (refer Figure 1). Grade-thickness contours and other interpretations of the data will be updated as more information becomes available.\n \n \n Downhole surveys are in progress, including optical televiewer surveys which provide a digital image of the drillhole walls that can be used in subsequent geological interpretation...
