Twenty Seven Company Limited (ASX: TSC)

Twenty Seven Company Limited (ASX: TSC) is focused on the exploration of cobalt in highly prospective areas. The company has released two announcements on 02 July 2019 with regards to the prospective gold strike and Junior Minerals Exploration incentive.

On 02 July 2019, Twenty Seven announced the plans to focus on 12-km prospective gold strike inside the Rover Project in Western Australia, and it intends to fast-track exploration at the prospective gold strike. Further, the company has halted the work on all projects to ensure optimal resource allocation.

Reportedly, the geology team has carried on an additional analysis of legacy literature and drilling campaign inside the tenure, and it is subject to further investigation; however, there is a strong indication for multiple anomalies along strike between Creasey 1 and south-east to the re-named Creasey 2.

Priority

The company considers the prospective gold strike in high priorities backed by the several factors including the improvement sentiments on gold with trading price >A$2,000; the mining infrastructure appears highly efficient along with third-party processors providing end-to-end solution to deliver the product to the market. One more important factor has been the unearthing of the underexplored 12Km prospective gold strike on the eastern boundary, which depicts exploration upside.

Plans

According to the release, due to a rising favourable global macro backdrop for gold, the company is revising the plans to visit the site. Also, once logistics are finalised, the geology team expects to visit the site in the early 3Q 2019. Further, the next site visit would be focused on Creasey 2, including the areas along strike that displays gold raised readings derived from legacy geochemistry assays. Moreover, after extended infill mapping and further rock-soil sampling, the geology team would have additional data to formulate the inaugural drill targets for testing.

Previous Findings

Reportedly, the geology team’s visit in April 2019 discovered some data points that can be used to improve the understanding of 12km prospective gold strike. Also, the objective to enlarge the Rover Project was to capture the northern extension of Maryland Hills & Cook Well Archean greenstone belts, which includes Creasey 1. Further, the geology team identified Creasey 2 as a target because of increased gold readings and the significant fault which defines 12km of the prospective strike in Creasey 1.

It was reported that previously undertook drilling campaign at Creasey 1 had traced gold mineralisation for ~1,200m along strike, and gold at shallow depths was intersected in six drills:

6m@ 1.87g/t Gold from 18m (MHC053)

3m @ 1.94 g/t Gold from 53m (MHC038)

3m @ 1.41 g/t Gold from 51m (MHC061)

3m @ 1.27 g/t Gold from 18m (MHC048)

3m @ 1.27 g/t Gold from 18m (MHC048)
