MetalsTech hits major gold find at Sturec in new drill run

MetalsTech Limited’s (ASX:MTC) share price has climbed 4.4% to 35.5c in morning trade as strong gold results at its Sturec project continue to flow. 

A 173m long diamond drill core completed on-site has a total density of 3.27g/t with mineralisation visible along two sections. 

Investor information service Undervalued Equity notes gold grades between 2g/t and 5g/t are considered mid-range. 

Simply put, investors could think of Sturec’s latest news as reflecting middle-upper grade gold. 

But more important than quality in this case could be quantity, given that mineralisation is consistent for nearly two hundred metres. 

Another interesting note: mineralisation starts from 0m at surface, meaning feasible economics of an open pit play at Sturec could be on the cards.
