Kingwest Resources continues resource definition drilling at Menzies Gold Project with 116 holes completed

Kingwest Resources Ltd (ASX:KWR) continued a resource definition and exploration drilling program at Menzies Gold Project (MGP) in Western Australia throughout the December 2020 quarter with an additional 116 holes for 11,728 metres completed. A maiden aircore drilling program also commenced at highly prospective Goongarrie Gold Project (GGP) with 282 holes for 6,739 metres completed before the Christmas break. Drilling within the Lady Shenton, Lady Harriet and Yunndaga Systems at Menzies continued to return very high-grade gold grades, with the best results including: 1-metre at 107 g/t gold from 88 metres; 5 metres at 13.8 g/t gold from 122 metres; 2 metres at 18.1 g/t gold from 44 metres; and 2 metres at 37.71 g/t gold from 63 metres. Additionally, mineralisation remains open at depth and along strike with new shoots having been identified. The resultant mineral resource estimates will be used for mining studies early in 2021. Resource definition drilling at Menzies Kingwest is in the process of completing resource definition drilling (infill and extensional) at the MGP. This is designed to upgrade the category level and size of the resource estimates, which currently total 319,900 ounces at 2.08 g/t gold, mostly in the inferred category. Further deeper drilling is planned for 2021 in order to prove extensions to these resources. Aircore drilling at Goongarrie First pass aircore drilling has been initiated at the Goongarrie Gold Project (GGP) with 282 holes for 6,739 metres completed in the December 2020 quarter. Drilling is focused on multiple targets on and around the shallow salt lakes or on clay pans adjacent to the salt lakes. Additional drilling remains to be completed over several targets not tested in 2020. These include targets under the deeper parts of the lake which will require a track-mounted aircore rig that specialises in drilling on the very soft and wet lake sediments. This is due in the first half of 2021.
