Caprice Resources Ltd has commenced RC drilling at Solis, at the southern end of the Island Gold Project, located in the Murchison region of Western Australia.
The 1,500-metre drilling program is following up on a more than one kilometre regolith gold anomaly identified from aircore drilling in March 2022. Both aircore programs returned numerous +1g/t Au results, an outstanding outcome for a first pass aircore program.
Drilling will focus on testing the interpreted down-dip trend of the regolith anomalies that extend into fresh rock. Holes are targeted to a 100 metre depth versus an aircore average hole depth of 30 metres
Managing Director Andrew Muir said considering Solis has never been drilled before, the large scale of the gold anomalism from the aircore drilling is very promising.
“This RC drilling is the logical next step to test the gold anomaly and should yield important insights into the mineralisation within fresh rock.”
Caprice Resources Limited holds a 100 per cent interest in the Island Gold Project, located in the Lake Austin gold mining centre in the Cue Goldfield. Caprice has an 80 per cent interest in the Cuddingwarra and Big Bell South projects, located to the west and southwest of Cue in the Cue Goldfield. Caprice acquired the projects in July 2021.
The company also holds a 100 per cent interest in the Northampton Project, a polymetallic brownfields project surrounding historical lead-silver and copper mines that were operational between 1850 and 1973.
