White Rock Minerals Ltd (ASX:WRM) has demonstrated the golden potential of its Morning Star Gold Mine after intersecting more than 300 g/t of the precious metal.

The Victoria-focused gold explorer has recorded more high-grade gold hits — measuring 0.2 metres at 312 g/t and 0.3 metres at 222 g/t — during exploratory drilling along strike from the McNally Reef structure, highlighting a potentially significant high-grade gold zone to the south, close to existing development.

Overall, White Rock says its drill results are consistently uncovering high-grade material in previously mined sections of the Morning Star mine.

Promisingly, this is in addition to the initial high-grade intersections it’s identified in the Gap Zone, which has endured minimal drilling and has not been previously mined.

What’s next?

White Rock is determined to revive gold production at the Morning Star underground mine, and to progress this vision, it’s started pre-production development at the McNally Reef structure, paving the way for future gold production.

Here, mining activities are focused on delivering high-grade tonnes to the gold plant for processing, sourced from multiple working faces underground across several mining areas. White Rock has identified five such mining areas to date.

The gold explorer has also begun plant pre-production commissioning works, where low-grade material is being processed.

Nowadays, White Rock is in the middle of optimisation works to improve the overall plant performance in preparation for higher-grade material processing.

All things considered, initial gold production at Morning Star remains on track to kick off this quarter.
