BMG onto high-grade gold after WA drilling

BMG Resources has seemingly upped the ante at its Abercromby gold project in the north-eastern Goldfields of WA after scooping a fleet of wide gold hits from a recently completed RC drilling campaign. The notable strikes are underlined by a series of scintillating results that include 6 metres at 19.8 grams per tonne gold from 83m with a 1m section grading 100.39 g/t gold at the same depth.

The company says its latest assay results are courtesy of 1m samples and complement a previously completed 4m composite sampling program. The results from the smaller samples are considered more definitive for downhole sampling than its larger, 4m predecessors due to a higher level of sample quality and a stricter collection protocol.

Some of the other significant intersections from BMG’s most recent venture include 34m going 1.26 g/t gold from 143m and 5m at 3.79 g/t gold from 143m.

The longer results include a 60m hit grading 1.46 grams per tonne gold from 127m which includes a 19m section running 19m at 2.87 grams per tonne gold from 159m.

According to BMG, its latest results point to wide, continuous zones of gold mineralisation at its Abercromby gold project, with the RC results confirming the extensions to several high-grade mineralisation hot spots at the Capital Prospect, which sits inside Abercromby.

BMG Resources Managing Director, Bruce McCracken said:“The 1m results complete the story on the RC drilling completed in mid to late 2021 and supersede preliminary results of the 4m samples already announced. The 2021 RC program has succeeded in delivering some fantastic intercepts in what were gaps in the existing dataset.”

“As indicated previously, the RC drilling has identified a new eastern lode which has not been previously intersected by historical drilling. This is an exciting development that opens up an area for a sizeable extension of the potential resource envelope at Capital.”

The company says a number of its latest holes did not reach target depths due to adverse ground conditions. It said these will be completed as part of an ongoing diamond drilling program.

According to BMG, there are a handful of north-west trending mineralised shear zones at the Capital prospect and its latest results have further confirmed the presence of a brace of roughly defined mineralised zones, the Western lode and Eastern lode. The company also believes it could have more areas of mineralisation at the project, with its work to date providing the kindling to a now steadily simmering portfolio of potential mineralisation around Capital.

BMG’s wholly owned Abercromby project sits on the distinguished Wiluna greenstone belt, where over 40 million ounces of gold have been outlined to-date.

The company has unveiled two gold-bearing lodes at Abercromby, both at the Capitol prospect. Historical results at Capitol include an exquisite 57.5m strike going 5.73 g/t gold from 80m and another 30m intercept grading 10.01 g/t gold from 164m.

BMG’s Abercromby project looks to be delivering the goods, coughing up a slew of high-grade gold hits. With the potential extension of several mineralised zones at the Capital Prospect now under its belt, the company could find itself with plenty to do in 2022.
