MetalsTech identifies visible gold in UGA-33 drill core at Sturec gold mine

Having updated the market on visible gold identified in hole UGA-30 at its 100%-owned Sturec gold mine in Slovakia late March, MetalsTech (ASX: MTC) today provided greater clarity on its Phase II diamond drilling program.

During detailed geological logging and sampling, visible gold at 29.6m and 72.8m has been identified within quartz filled vein/stockwork/breccia zones.

Management notes that zones identified are variably rich in fine to very fine-grained sulphides and hosted within variably argillic altered and brecciated andesite host rock from around 0m to 91.5m down hole in the drill core from hole UGA-33.

The visible gold at 29.6m is present as a single, up to 0.3mm sized aggregate of VG within a 1-2cm wide, white drusy quartz veinlet also containing fine-grained disseminated pyrite-marcasite crystals.

Management notes visual observations and estimates - with regard to any visible gold observed in UGA-33 – are uncertain in nature and should not be taken as a substitute for appropriate lab analysis.

The company expects to update on UGA-33 in the next few weeks.
