Azure Minerals Ltd (ASX:AZS) has encountered broad zones of gold mineralisation in follow-up drilling at Daisy Corner prospect within the Barton Gold Project in the Eastern Goldfields of Western Australia.
The company also struck gold in first-pass drilling at the Daisy West and Trevan Well prospects, indicating that the Barton Project retains exploration upside in a region known to be highly prospective for gold.
“We are encouraged by the drilling results from Daisy Corner with broad intersections of strongly anomalous mineralisation in BTRC0034 and BTRC0039 that have further extended the gold trend, first intersected in holes BTRC0009 and BTRC0002, to over 350 metres,” Azure Minerals managing director Tony Rovira said.
“This mineralisation remains open to the northwest and southeast and warrants further investigation.”
