- Siren Gold begins second deep drillhole at Sams Creek
- New mineralised zones mapped at Doyles prospect
- Potential resource upside supported by rising gold prices
Siren Gold (ASX:SNG) is making bold strides in its exploration efforts at the Sams Creek Project in New Zealand, launching a second diamond drillhole to investigate deeper gold mineralisation. The initiative follows encouraging results from the initial drillhole, which intersected a 23-metre stretch of the Sams Creek Dyke (SCD) from 487 metres to 510 metres depth. This finding has confirmed the northwest dip of the mineralised dyke structure, a key geological feature hosting gold-rich arsenopyrite veins.
The mineralisation is concentrated in plunging folds within the dyke, forming high-potential gold shoots trending northeast. Siren’s current mineral resource estimate (MRE) for Sams Creek stands at 824,000 ounces of gold at an average grade of 2.8 grams per tonne, using a 1.5g/t cut-off grade. This resource base underpins the company’s growing confidence in the prospect, especially as global gold prices hover at record levels—around US$3,275 per ounce as of 9.45am AEST.
Of particular geological interest is the recent mapping of a second antiform structure, known as the A2 Antiform, at the Doyles prospect located at 600mRL. Here, 11 rock chip samples have returned an impressive average of 3.4g/t gold. Moreover, the A2 Anticline has been intersected by the deepest holes drilled to date—hole SC90 reported 11 metres at 2.01g/t gold, while SC91 returned 13 metres at 3.14g/t. These results hint at broader mineralised zones, suggesting significant upside to the current resource.
To further define this potential, Siren has proposed two more drillholes positioned strategically to the east and west of the existing drill sections. The findings from these holes will be vital in evaluating the continuity of mineralisation and expanding the MRE.
The favourable backdrop of soaring gold prices is particularly encouraging for junior explorers like Siren Gold. In a market where investors increasingly eye ASX dividend stocks for steady returns, gold explorers offer an attractive counterbalance with high growth potential.
This exploration momentum coincides with a broader trend in the S&P/ASX 200 index, where resource and exploration companies are gaining attention amid commodity price rallies. With a market capitalisation of approximately $12 million, Siren Gold is strategically positioning itself within this landscape, aiming to unlock further value from one of New Zealand’s notable gold prospects.
