At Cota and T16, nine holes will probe newly identified structures that coincide with historical elevated gold-in-soil anomalies. Management says the northwest-trending structures are believed to be parallel shear zones associated with the nearby Vault Minerals’ mine Rothsay deposit.
Similarly at Monza and Lightning, parallel structures will be drilled with six holes targeting down plunge extensions and orientations identified by the updated geological models.
Terrain Minerals executive director Justin Virgin said: “The results to date demonstrate that the team is working smart with the aim of creating value for shareholders. With the gold price reaching all-time highs, now is an ideal time to advance potential discoveries and start the new year of on the front foot.”
Situated within WA’s growing Midwest mining region, the Wildflower project is a part of Terrain’s broader Smokebush project within the Yalgoo greenstone belts. Yalgoo is host to several renowned mining areas, including Payne’s Find, Warriedar, Rothsay and 29 Metals’ Golden Grove gold and base metals mining areas all of which lie within 100km of Terrain’s ground.
Terrain is maintaining its momentum, returning to the field just 14 days after releasing first-pass drilling results. The RC drilling blitz is expected to commence in early December, with assay results anticipated by as early as January next year.
Beyond Wildflower, Terrain is actively exploring its Monza and Lightning prospects, where historical drilling has yielded impressive grades, including 2m at 11.3g/t gold and 7m at 2.72g/t gold.
The upcoming drilling campaign at Wildflower marks a crucial step towards unlocking the project’s at-depth potential and could signal a transformational phase for Terrain.
The company should know within a few months if its supergene gold discovery extends into the fresh rock at depth, potentially spelling the beginnings of a serious gold deposit at Wildflower.
