Aurumin Limited (ASX:AUN) will soon start drilling at its 881,000-ounce Sandstone Gold Project, 420 kilometres east of Perth in Western Australia.
Due to commence in the first half of June, the drilling will focus on nine open pit targets, with 44 holes planned and an estimated 5,000 metres to be drilled.
All the targets are on the mining leases, within three kilometres of the processing plant footprint.
Drilling will target multiple depositional models and styles including porphyry/intrusive hosted vein; banded iron hosted; and structural shear style hosted mineralisation in mafic and ultramafic units.
Aurumin Managing Director Brad Valiukas said: “The previously completed auger program successfully demonstrated the prospectivity of the tenement package that we have at Sandstone, by identifying multiple new targets, while exploring just a couple of kilometres from existing infrastructure.
“This drilling program is a direct follow on from that work, as we now seek to turn those targets into new deposits.
“We continue with a clear focus on generating the critical mass for future production, and on the mining leases is a great place to add ounces.
“With the completion of the capital raise, we now look forward to being back on the ground drilling, with other on ground work will continue in parallel.”
