Key Points
- Greenstone Resources are up 4% heading into second hour of trade
- Resource increase growth across two projects, both in Coolgardie: the Burbanks and Phillips Find projects respectively
- Greenstone says this initial upgrade is interim in nature, as open mineralisation suggests potential for larger increases down the line
Greenstone Resources’ (ASX:GSR) share price has climbed 4.4% to 7.1c as the company boosts its total gold resource across two projects in WA to a collective 330,000 ounces of gold.
The increase represents growth in the resource size of 128% and is broken down as follows. Note g/t reflects grams of gold per tonne of ore.
Burbanks: 3.43m tonnes of ore at 2.5g/t for 277,547oz
Phillips FInd: 0.73m tonnes of ore at 2.3g/t for 54,567oz
Both the Burbanks and the Phillips Find gold projects are located in Coolgardie, WA.
Further drilling underway
Worth noting is that Greenstone calls this resource upgrade an ‘interim’ publication, given its high confidence that mineralisation remains open at both projects and a further resource upgrade is likely on the horizon.
Once the company carries out step-out drilling to test where exactly gold stops being found, geotechs will be able to crunch the numbers and come back with a figure.
To that end, the company has already fired up the rigs again at both projects.
Burbanks, the company notes, includes most of its resource calculations in the first 200m of depth on site, despite the fact previous drills have hit gold at depths over 230m and towards 400m.
Rapid scale up feasible
“We have the conviction to rapidly scale up exploration at Burbanks over the coming months, ahead of future resource and development updates,” Greenstone Resources CEO Chris Hansen said.
“Burbanks is located in the epicentre of the Australian gold industry, surrounded by a network of existing infrastructure, including processing plants.”
“Outside of Burbanks, the team is growing excited about Phillips Find, not only for high-grade resource additions, but also for the wider potential of new greenfield discoveries.”
A quick look
Greenstone Resources has a market cap of $74.7m; year to date returns are up 173%.
