Red Hill Minerals Limited has made a significant announcement detailing the latest results from its RC and diamond drilling program at the West Pilbara Gold and Base Metal Project. The drilling during the June quarter included 14 RC holes totaling 2,712 metres and two diamond drillholes covering 424.3 metres, targeting multiple zones including Barkley, Jubilee South, and S-Bend. Technical intercepts have confirmed elevated gold grades at the Barkley and Jubilee South targets along with notable zinc values at S-Bend. At the Barkley Gold target, drilling results have reinforced earlier discoveries of anomalous gold mineralisation along a 2.5 kilometre strike length near the Deepdale Fault. Highlights include a 1-metre intercept at 1.4 g/t gold from 74 metres, a 16-metre interval at 0.5 g/t gold from 8 metres, and intervals returning 4 metres at 1.3 g/t and 12 metres at 1.7 g/t gold. In addition, some intercepts reported up to 8 metres at 2.4 g/t gold. Two diamond drillholes intended to further define the geometry of mineralisation are in progress, with assay results pending. The program is designed to test extensions both along strike and in dip direction, potentially expanding the known gold zones. Drilling at the Jubilee South target, which lies adjacent to a major fault-associated gold-in-soil anomaly, returned promising base metal and gold intercepts. Intercepts include 1 metre at 1.3 g/t gold from 50 metres and 1 metre at 1.1 g/t gold from 62 metres in one of the RC drillholes. Follow-up work, including the possibility of a downhole EM survey, is being considered to further evaluate this shallowly dipping conductor and its fine-grained sulphide mineralisation. In the S-Bend zone, defined by a zinc-in-soil anomaly and early drill results including a standout intercept of 1 metre at 7.5% zinc, the latest RC drilling confirmed extension of the target. Intercepts of 1 metre at 2.5% zinc and 1 metre at 2.2% zinc were recorded, along with additional intervals averaging 9 metres at approximately 0.5% zinc. The company plans a review of its geological interpretation to better target future work in this area. Market sentiment on these results is mixed. On the bullish side, the new drilling data substantially expand the known gold and zinc targets and support the potential for significant resource development in an area with proven geological potential. The combination of multiple positive intercepts and the use of both RC and diamond drilling techniques reinforces investor confidence in the company’s exploration strategy. However, some bearish perspectives point to the relatively narrow widths of several intercepts and the moderate grades reported in some drillholes, with further assay results still pending. Uncertainties regarding true width and the need for additional drilling may temper expectations until more definitive resource estimates can be made.
