Kin Mining reported latest reverse circulation drill results from the Eastern Gabbro prospect within its Murrin Murrin gold project in Western Australia.
A peak assay at Gabbro of 2 metres at 34.23 grams per tonne gold was returned, contained within a broader hit of 31 metres at 4.29 grams per tonne.
The Murrin Murrin prospect was also tested via re-entry and extension of a hole drilled late last year which ended in 1 metre at 36 grams per tonne gold from 87 metres.
The extended hole assayed 32.45 g/t gold from 88 to 89 metres, within 5 metres at 17.2 grams per tonne to 92 metres.
These spectacular results are within a broader zone of high-grade mineralisation assaying 5m at 17.20g/t Au from 87m to 92m.
