("Lexington Gold" or the "Company")
Operational Update
Lexington Gold (AIM: LEX), the gold exploration and development company with projects in North and
Highlights:
· Drilling contract signed for 5,000m Reverse Circulation ("RC") drill programme with FTE Drilling, a highly experienced international drilling company headquartered in
· Drill rig and crew currently scheduled to arrive on site during the week commencing 20th
· Drilling will be conducted on the Carolina Belle Project ("Carolina Belle") and
· All requisite environmental submissions for the preparation of the drill sites and the drill programme are currently being prepared and the environmental approvals are expected prior to the commencement of drilling
· Core Geophysics in
· Pivot Mining Consultants Pty Ltd ("Pivot") has completed its geological interpretation and data verification for the Loflin deposit. Pivot is currently assisting with planning certain drill locations for incorporation in the Phase 2 RC drilling programme at Loflin
· A maiden resource estimate for the south-western (Loflin) side of the JKL Project is expected to be received from Pivot in the coming weeks once their resource and 3D modelling process has been completed
"We are pleased to provide this update on our ongoing activities, particularly on progress made at Carolina Belle and JKL. The team is encouraged by the potential for both of these projects, and is optimistic about moving them up the value chain as soon as possible.
"The planned 5,000m drill programme signed with FTE Drilling is an excellent marker of our progress. The programme will focus on drilling at the Carolina Belle and JKL projects, in order to further our understanding of the highly prospective nature of Carolina Belle and to potentially expand the upcoming maiden resource estimate at JKL.
"The guidance received from Core Geophysics and expected completion of Pivot's 3D modelling to deliver a maiden resource estimate for JKL are also highly encouraging developments. We look forward to updating the market further in due course."
Additional information
Phase 2 Drilling contract signed with FTE Drilling for a minimum of 5,000m of RC drilling. FTE Drilling is an international drilling company headquartered in
Carolina Belle Project
Carolina Belle is located in central
The project has several greenfield to brownfield exploration prospects with well-defined and potentially continuous zones of low sulphidation, epithermal gold mineralisation already identified from the historic mines and surface workings. There is potential to extend the existing zones of gold mineralisation along the lithostratigraphic horizon and discover additional mineralised areas including feeder veins and alteration associated with a larger system.
The exploration drilling campaign at Carolina Belle will include drilling of the following areas:
· Drilling down-dip and along strike from the historic Iola and Uwarra gold mining operations
· Drill testing of other known areas of gold mineralisation, historical surface workings and areas identified for drill testing following the completion of the interpretation of geophysics data
· Drill testing of the newly discovered gold anomaly not associated with the known gold mineralisation in the project area. As announced on
The planned campaign is exploratory in nature, with the aim of further testing the highly prospective nature of the project and is not designed to enable a resource estimation.
Jones-Keystone-Loflin Project (JKL)
The Phase 1 drilling campaign at JKL intersected significant gold mineralisation, with the assay results showing a good correlation with the historical drilling results at Loflin. Importantly, all six holes of the initial campaign intersected gold mineralisation of over 1 g/t Au above 100m depth with multiple intersections over 30m width. The Phase 2 drilling campaign will include drilling on both the Loflin and
· Additional drilling at Loflin to potentially expand the upcoming maiden resource estimate expected to be received prior to the start of drilling
· Drill holes positioned to test additional targets that form part of the project area that have been identified from geophysics and historical work
· Drill holes positioned to potentially establish a maiden resource for the
Pivot Mining Consultants Pty Ltd ("Pivot") in South Africa (previously Coffey Mining SA (Pty) Ltd) has completed its review, analysis and geological modelling of the historical and new drilling data from the Loflin side of JKL. Pivot is currently finalising its resource and 3D modelling process with the aim of establishing an initial maiden resource estimate for Loflin in the coming weeks.
