Westar Resources identifies six high-priority gold drill targets at Winjangoo Project following auger drill program 

Westar Resources Ltd (ASX:WSR) has identified six high-priority drill targets at its 100%-owned Winjangoo Gold Project, north of Mt Magnet in WA, following the completion of a 749-sample auger drilling program.  Winjangoo is prospective for hosting shear-hosted gold mineralisation within granite-greenstone contacts and deformed greenstone terrain and banded-iron formation (BIF) hosted mineralisation, analogous to the more than 2 million ounces gold Hill 50 mineralisation. Maiden drill program in first quarter Westar managing director Karl Jupp believes the coincidence of recent anomalous auger geochemical results, geophysical targets and historic surface soil samples highlights the prospectivity of the Winjangoo Gold Project and provides significant encouragement leading into the maiden drill program scheduled for the first quarter of 2021. ”The anomalous auger soil results have generated immediate high priority drill targets while also validating the potential of the balance of the Winjangoo project area. “We are looking forward to integrating the new geophysical survey data to further refine our high priority targets and getting the drill rig on the ground as soon as possible”. Auger geochemical program The auger drill sampling program collected surficial geochemical samples from a carbonate-rich horizon up to 2 metres in depth. This has doubled the auger geochemical dataset at Winjangoo, which now consists of the recently collected 749 auger samples and a further 630 historic samples within E58/536. Additionally, there are 1,501 historic soil samples proximal to Winjangoo, which support geological interpretation and target generation. Winjangoo South priority targets The combined geochemical results within the southern half of the Winjangoo Gold Project have defined five target areas. Targets 1-4 are coherent geochemical targets that have progressed to drill planning while target 5 represents about 10 kilometres of untested greenstone belt in a significant structural corridor, with most of the belt undercover. Westar considers this target prospective and will be further evaluated after testing priority targets. Winjangoo North priority targets The combined geochemical results within the northern half of the Winjangoo Gold Project have defined two separate targets, with much of the area yet to be tested. Target 6 is being progressed to drill planning, whilst target 7 will undergo further evaluation with the remainder of the project area. The northern tenement area hosts over 8 kilometres strike length of untested greenstone belt lithologies. Target summary Westar is immediately progressing Priority 1 targets at the Winjangoo Project to drill program design. An approved program of work (PoW) from the DMIRS has been received to enable immediate ground access for drilling. Priority targets 3-5 and target 7, as well as the buried greenstone within the project area, are planned for further assessment via field reconnaissance and alternative exploration strategies, such as mobile metal ion or ultrafine soil sampling. Next steps Westar’s immediate activities at Winjangoo include: • Drill program design for drilling in the first quarter of 2021 over high priority target areas, including the integration of recently completed high-resolution geophysics; • Developing an exploration strategy for untested greenstone targets, as well as interpreted buried greenstone lithologies and structural targets; and • Assessing the project area for other potential styles of gold-bearing mineralisation.
