Follow Up Aircore Drilling Starts at New Tolmer Gold System
Barton Gold Holdings has initiated follow-up aircore drilling at the new Tolmer gold system within its Tarcoola Gold Project in South Australia. The company has completed ~8,500m of aircore drilling at the Lake Labyrinth Shear Zone, following recent high-grade assays. Previous RC drilling from March to July 2024 yielded significant results at Tolmer, including intervals of 4m @ 24.6 g/t, 9m @ 3.92 g/t, and 14m @ 1.41 g/t gold. The company recently confirmed a JORC Mineral Resource Estimate of ~20koz Au @ ~2 g/t Au in the Perseverance Mine's open pit floor. An initial ~2,000m drilling program is planned to test the Tolmer alteration zone's potential strike.

L'azienda ha completato circa 8.500 metri di perforazione aircore nella Lake Labyrinth Shear Zone, dopo recenti analisi di alta qualità. Le precedenti perforazioni RC da marzo a luglio 2024 hanno dato risultati significativi a Tolmer, inclusi intervalli di 4 m @ 24,6 g/t, 9 m @ 3,92 g/t e 14 m @ 1,41 g/t di oro. L'azienda ha recentemente confermato una stima di risorse minerarie JORC di circa 20.000 once d'oro @ circa 2 g/t d'oro nel fondo della miniera di Perseverance. Un programma di perforazione iniziale di circa 2.000 metri è previsto per testare il potenziale strike della zona di alterazione di Tolmer.

Barton Gold Holdings a lancé un suivi de forage aircore au sein du nouveau système aurifère Tolmer dans son projet Tarcoola Gold en Australie du Sud. L'entreprise a terminé environ 8 500 m de forage aircore dans la zone de cisaillement de Lake Labyrinth, suite à des analyses tout récemment réalisées de haute qualité. Les forages RC précédents de mars à juillet 2024 ont obtenu des résultats significatifs à Tolmer, y compris des intervalles de 4 m @ 24,6 g/t, 9 m @ 3,92 g/t et 14 m @ 1,41 g/t d'or. L'entreprise a récemment confirmé une estimation de ressources minérales JORC d'environ 20 000 oz Au @ environ 2 g/t Au dans le fond de la mine de Perseverance. Un programme de forage initial d'environ 2 000 m est prévu pour tester le potentiel de strike de la zone d'altération de Tolmer.
Barton Gold Holdings hat die Nachverfolgung der Aircore-Bohrungen im neuen Tolmer-Goldsysten innerhalb seines Tarcoola Gold Projekts in Südaustralien eingeleitet. Das Unternehmen hat etwa 8.500 m Aircore-Bohrungen in der Lake Labyrinth Shear Zone abgeschlossen, nachdem kürzliche hochgradige Analysen durchgeführt wurden. Frühere RC-Bohrungen von März bis Juli 2024 ergaben bedeutende Ergebnisse in Tolmer, darunter Intervalle von 4 m @ 24,6 g/t, 9 m @ 3,92 g/t und 14 m @ 1,41 g/t Gold. Das Unternehmen hat kürzlich eine JORC-Mineralressourcenschätzung von etwa 20.000 Unzen Au @ etwa 2 g/t Au im Boden der Perseverance-Mine bestätigt. Ein anfängliches Bohrprogramm von etwa 2.000 m ist geplant, um das potenzielle Strike der Tolmer-Alterationszone zu testen.

Barton Gold Holdings Limited (ASX:BGD)(FRA:BGD3)(OTCQB:BGDFF) (Barton or Company) is pleased to confirm that its regional AC drilling program has moved to the Company's South Australian Tarcoola Gold Project (Tarcoola), targeting the new ‘Tolmer' gold system recently confirmed by high-grade assays.1
Commenting on the Tolmer aircore drilling program, Barton MD Alexander Scanlon said:
"We are steadily mapping out the commercial pathway for potential ‘Stage 1' Tarcoola operations using our fully permitted Central Gawler Mill, followed by ‘Stage 2' expansion into the adjacent 130,000ozpa Tunkillia Gold Project with the construction of a second mill. As each of these commercial platforms offers greater value to new regional mineralisation, we remain focused on unlocking the scale potential of our strategic asset package."
Background
During March to July 2024 Barton completed a total ~11,250m reverse circulation (RC) drilling across targets from its latest Tarcoola structural interpretations, including the Perseverance open pit mine and targets to the west.2 Following this drilling, Barton confirmed a JORC Mineral Resources Estimate (MRE) of ~20koz Au @ ~2 g/t Au in the Perseverance Mine's open pit floor.3
Drilling also intersected gold mineralisation across neighbouring targets including School, Old Flame, Warburton, with new high-grade assay results confirming a newly interpreted gold mineralised system at Tolmer comprised of quartz sulphide veining hosted within broader zones of alteration.4
An initial ~2,000m drilling program is planned to test the potential strike of Tolmer alteration zone(s) in the vicinity of recent high grade assay results including intervals of 4m @ 24.6 g/t, 9m @ 3.92 g/t, 14m @ 1.41 g/t and 5m @ 3.15 g/t.4
