Saturn Metals has revealed further promising drilling results from its Apollo Hill gold project located near Leonora in Western Australia.
Extensional results included 36m at 1.92 grams per tonne (g/t) gold from 335m including 22m at 3.08g/t gold.
Other highlights from the reverse circulation (RC) drilling program included 41m at 1.23g/t gold from 248m including 10m at 4.12g/t gold, and 21m at 1.79g/t of gold from 116m including 8m at 4.05g/t of gold.
These results have highlighted the robustness of Apollo Hill’s 2.03-million-ounce (Moz) mineral resource, while also paving the way for ongoing resource growth.
“The thick and higher-grade results seen in this latest batch of assays continue to reinforce the significant endowment of the Apollo Hill gold deposit and its suitability for bulk mining,” Saturn managing director Ian Bamborough said.
“Drilling continues around the clock with four rigs currently operating on site, and the results will feed into a second consecutive resource upgrade, targeted for the second half of 2025.
“With the recent resource upgrade surpassing the 2Moz mark and an aggressive drill program in front of us, we look forward to unlocking the full potential of this robust asset against the backdrop of record gold prices.”
The latest drill results at Apollo Hill were derived from 41 drillholes and 8816m of assays. Saturn Metals has a further 20,000m of RC drilling in the pipeline as part of the the current program.
The results will underpin a mineral resource upgrade this year, as well as a maiden ore reserve and pre-feasibility study scheduled for completion later this year.
