- Catalina announced multi-element assay results from recent two-hole diamond drilling at the Rock Lodge project in NSW.
- Significant gold intersections were recorded, including 11 m @ 0.88 g/t Au from 193m in SRLRCD001.
- Notable multi-element assay in SRLRCD001 included 1 m @ 1.37% Zn, 0.41% Pb, 7.7 g/t Ag, 44.49 ppm Cd, 17.43 ppm Mo.
Catalina Resources Ltd (ASX:CTN) has announced multi-element assays from its recent diamond drilling at the Rock Lodge project in the Lachlan Fold Belt, New South Wales (NSW). Two diamond holes (SRLRCD001-2) were drilled in November 2024, intersecting broad zones of alteration, including sulphide veining, quartz-sulphide veining, and brecciation in siltstone.
The Rock Lodge project (EL 9155) spans 163km² and is located 35km south of Cooma in the Lachlan Fold Belt, NSW, in a region prospective for orogenic and Intrusion Related Gold Systems (IRGS). The RC drilling campaign completed in April 2022 at the Rock Lodge also revealed significant mineralisation.
The two diamond holes were drilled to a total depth of 351m (NQ core) to target deeper zones below previous shallow reverse circulation (RC) drilling, which had intersected multiple zones of gold mineralisation linked to quartz-sulphide veins.
Gold geochemistry from these two diamond holes revealed notable intersections being:
- 11 m @ 0.88 g/t Au from 193m, including 1m @ 5.25 g/t Au in SRLRCD001.
- 1 m @ 1.87 g/t Au from 228m in SRLRCD001.
- 1 m @ 1.4 g/t Au from 177m in SRLRCD001.
A notable multi-element assay from hole SRLRCD001 showed 1 m @ 1.37% Zn, 0.41% Pb, 7.7 g/t Ag, 44.49 ppm Cd, 17.43 ppm Mo from 210 m to 211 m.
In hole SRLRCD002, 0.6 m @ 0.21% Zn, 1.13% Pb, 9.4 g/t Ag, 6.85 ppm Sb, 0.21 g/t Au was intersected from 230.6 m to 231.2 m.
The gold intersections in hole SRLRCD001 were correlated with anomalies in arsenic, molybdenum, bismuth, and antimony. Arsenic peaked at 4.27% and averaged 0.63% over the interval from 193 m to 204 m.
CTN shares traded at AUD 0.0030 on 25 February 2025.
