Highlights
- A successful $1.6 million share placement boosts resources for New Age Exploration's Wagyu gold project under (ASX:NAE).
- Phase 3 drilling aims to assess depth and continuity of gold mineralization similar to the Hemi deposit.
- Upcoming exploration includes a 3000m RC drilling program and additional aircore drilling in Q2.
The completion of a $1.6 million share placement to investors marks a pivotal step in advancing exploration at New Age Exploration’s Wagyu gold project. Strategically located within the same trend as the 11.2Moz Hemi deposit, the project is set to undergo enhanced drilling operations supported by resilient investor commitment.
Strategic Placement and Resource Allocation
The recent share placement, which issued 400 million fully paid shares at a discounted price, underscores substantial investor confidence. These funds will facilitate fast-tracked exploration initiatives at the Wagyu gold project, aligning with New Age Exploration’s strategic growth objectives in the Central Pilbara region.
Drilling Programs and Geological Insights
Previous Phase 1 and 2 aircore drilling have confirmed multiple gold intercepts, unveiling the geological potential reflective of the Hemi deposit. The structured approach to the next phase includes a comprehensive 3000m RC drilling program, alongside ongoing geological assessments and further aircore drilling slated for the second quarter.
Progress in Drilling Efforts
The project’s momentum is further illustrated by the re-sampling of drilling results, which highlighted 16 significant intercepts. Notably, a 7m zone intersected significant gold mineralization, offering an enriched 2m section at 9.3 g/t gold, indicative of the promising potential of this site.
The upcoming Phase 3 drilling represents a crucial juncture for Wagyu's development. With deeper insights expected, this phase sets the stage for assessing the scale and economic feasibility of the project. The similarities identified with De Grey Mining’s Hemi deposit present a promising outlook for New Age Exploration’s initiatives under the ASX:NAE ticker.
