- AA05 – 6m @ 6.5g/t Au (from 16m)
Having already defined strong, consistent, high-grade Au results from the maiden drilling programme at Ada Ann, the Company is pleased to report continued exploration success with further high-grade Au drilling results from the Company’s phase 2 drilling programme.
Forrestania Resources’ Chairman John Hannaford commented:
“These 1m results from Ada Ann are highly significant, with grades up to 26g/t Au, underlining the high-grade potential of the system. Pleasingly, we are seeing some thickening of the mineralised zones at depth. The drill programme extended the known mineralised zones to the north and south and the prospect continues to remain open in all directions. We look forward to coming back to drilling at the Bonnie Vale project later in the year.”
