Monument Announces NOA 7/8 Drilling Program Results at Burnakura Gold Project

24.09.2018  |  GlobeNewswire

VANCOUVER, Sept. 24, 2018 - Monument Mining Ltd. (TSX-V: MMY and FSE: D7Q1) ("Monument" or the "Company") is pleased to announce encouraging results of 1,333m exploration and metallurgical drilling for 5 holes at North of Alliance 7/8 (“NOA 7/8”), which have the potential to increase the Burnakura gold resources. Additional targets for extension and resource definition drilling were identified.

The NOA 7/8 exploration drill program is one of three drilling programs completed successfully within two months in May and June 2018 (refer to News Release dated August 8, 2018). It comprised three exploration drill holes and two metallurgical drill holes and consisted of both Reverse Circulation (“RC”) and Diamond Drilling (“DD”). The program was focused on extending NOA 7/8 mineralization down plunge, and providing additional samples from NOA 7/8 to further progress metallurgical testwork. All assays have already been received, with a view of increasing its gold resources in underground fresh material, and collection of metallurgical samples for testwork.

Highlights

NOA 7/8 program was successful in extending the known mineralization approximately 130m down plunge. Significant intercepts are listed in Table 1.

NOA 7/8 Deep Exploration

NOA 7/8 is the northernmost portion of the North of Alliance (“NOA”) deposits at Burnakura Project with Indicated Resource of 114 koz Au @ 4.6 g/t Au and Inferred Resource of 4 koz @ 3.9 g/t Au (refer to “NI 43-101 Technical Report: Updated Mineral Resources, Burnakura Gold Project, Western Australia, Australia” dated July 17, 2018, prepared by SRK Consulting (Australasia) Pty Ltd. at www.sedar.com). It contains a mineralised zone over a strike length of 560m, hosted by predominantly sedimentary and felsic volcanoclastic units. The target drilled represents a down-plunge extension of the high grade mineralization, as shown in Figure 2.

Three deep holes (868m in total) successfully extended NOA 7/8 northerly down plunge, confirming the understanding of mineralization geometry as predicted. Several structural readings have been taken which are integrating a regional structural study in progress.

Further drilling is needed to increase the confidence on the geometry and continuity of the mineralization (see Figure 2). The deposit is still open at depth, and further additions are highly likely with a follow-up drilling extension program. The significant intercepts for all drilling at the NOA 7/8 drill program presented in Table 1 shows the great potential of mineral inventory expansion on the drilled target. The outcome of the drilling is encouraging, extending the known mineralization at depth and assisting in the understanding of mineralization and underground potential at NOA 7/8.

The results in general show widths and grade that can be sued to assess underground mining opportunities. A follow-up drilling program is being designed to further extend the finalization at depth, to increase the confidence on the mineralization geometry and grades, encouraging further underground mining economic study. Figure 3 shows an example of core samples for mineralized zones, with assayed grade results.

Grades received indicate the underground potential for NOA 7/8. Further drilling is however needed to allow interpretation and incorporation into a resource model. With the style of mineralization, the current drill spacing is too wide to infer a resource. A follow up program is being designed to both extend and define the mineralization at depth. A suitably powerful RC rig can perform follow up infill, but a DD rig would be needed to discover further extensions at depth. The deposit is still clearly open at depth, with the potential to extend the resource further with deeper drilling.

NOA 7/8 Metallurgical Drilling

Two metallurgical holes (465m in total, of which 123m RC and 342m DD drilling) successfully intersected known areas of mineralization at the NOA 7/8 deep, providing sufficient representative core sample material for further testwork. Also the grade and width of the intercepts has evidenced the existence of high grade underground mineralization of NOA 7/8. Figure 4 shows one example of core samples within a mineralized zone.

Mineralogical and metallurgical testwork is underway at ALS laboratories, and is being supervised by Orway Mineral Consultants Pty Ltd (“OMC”).
