KEY POINTS
- MetalsTech has today reported an assay sample for its gold-silver Sturec project clocking in a hit of gold over bonanza grade
- The high grade interval at 125m depth is expected to boost the project’s mineral resource
- More assays to come from August drill run
MetalsTech (ASX:MTC) is today reporting assay results from its August drill run at the company’s 100% owned, 1Moz-boasting Sturec silver-gold project in Slovakia.
Investor information provider Undervalued Equity classifies high grade gold as that in concentrations over five grams per tonne of ore (5g/t); while silver is classified as high grade at 50g/t.
Compare that to today’s results:
05m @ 9.49g/t gold from 126m depth (15g/t silver), including:
01m @ 43.6g/t gold from 126m
04m @ 9.21g/t gold from 58m depth (30.8g/t silver)
03m @ 5.21g/t gold from 85m depth
Worth noting is that these results largely came as high-grade pockets within larger and more broadly accumulated mineralised core samples.
More August assays coming
Currently, the assay results for the last hole completed in August (named the Drill Chamber III drilling campaign) are being prepared; the company will turn over data for UGA-56 in the near future.
The three drillholes for which results are reported today all intersected quartz veining underground, one of the most common in-situ hosts for gold to occur.
A contemporary drilling program is now underway at Sturec with operations kicked off this week.
