Note: Further intercept details including significant intercepts within composite intervals can be found in the Appendix to this document. |
Frazer Bourchier, President and CEO of Mandalay, commented:
"I am very pleased with the consistent success of our near-mine drilling program at Björkdal. These results reinforce our geologists' keen insights and focus on targeted exploration strategies implemented over the past few years. I am especially impressed with some of the remarkable intercepts of these underground originated exploration drillholes. We are keen to learn more over the coming year as the technical teams continue to update their geological models to better understand the potential mineral reserve impacts."
Chris Davis, Vice President of Exploration and Operational Geology, continued:
"Over the past two years, the Eastern Extension program has been a primary area of exploration and has yielded remarkable results – some of the most significant intercepts seen historically at Björkdal. The drilling conducted in this area has extended the Lake Zone veining both eastward and at depth. Although the veining density is not as high as that of the Main Zone, the veins are continuous with notable intercepts observed up to 560 m from the current infrastructure.
"Furthermore, our upper western extension drilling within the North Zone drilling program identified an exciting new domain of veining, which we have called the Boreal Zone. The veining observed in this domain exhibits a similar orientation and gold endowment to that found in both the North Zone and the Aurora Zone. The extent of the veining in the Boreal Zone is still underexplored and future drilling campaigns will be focused on understanding its full breadth.
"A video has been prepared which walks through the highlights of this release with greater spatial context. This video can be found on Mandalay's website or by clicking here."
Mr. Bourchier concluded, "These recent developments in exploration underscore one of our strategic objectives committed to organic growth as we continue to explore for both higher margin reserve ounces that may extend life as well as new mineral targets within our land packages. We expect that the inclusion of the Eastern Extension will contribute to the continued growth and success of Björkdal."
Building from our press releases in July 20221 and February 20232, near-mine exploration has focussed on two continuing drilling campaigns. The Eastern Extension campaign has continued with a move to the north, testing the eastern continuation of the Lake Zone veining. Running parallel with this program, the North Zone drilling has progressed to an extension phase with four sub-programs, testing the strike and dip extents of the 19 veins now modelled within the emerging domain (see Figure 1).

Drilling of the eastern flank of the Björkdal mine has consistently delivered high-grade vein intercepts supporting the modelling of gold enrichment within veining continuing to the east underneath the plunging marble horizon. Drilling over 2022 concentrated on the extension of Main Zone and Central Zone with highlight significant results (see previous releases). The latest drilling in this area of enrichment has focussed on the eastward extension to the Lake Zone veining that is being currently mined to the west of the target area.
Ten holes have been drilled in 2023 showing that key veining within the Lake Zone area continues to the east. The density of veining is observed to be lower than that of the Central and Main Zones to the south however significant grades have been intercepted 560 m from current mining showing the mineralisation is still open at depth and to the east. The furthest intercept from current development returned 5.4 g/t gold over 1 m (ETW 0.64 m) in MU23-017.
Other significant grades within the program include 51.3 g/t gold over 0.60 m (ETW 0.52 m) and 88.6 g/t gold over 0.45 (ETW 0.34 m) in MU23-015 as well as 116.8 g/t over 0.35 m (ETW 0.27) in MU23-016.
To the north of the current mine, and well-established Aurora Zone, North Zone is an emerging veining system that has been a recent focus of exploration at Björkdal. The veining exists in a similar setting to that of the Aurora Zone being above the marble horizon and interacting with a number of flat faults theorised to be conduits for mineralising fluids. Like Aurora, the significance of the North Zone is in the geometry of the sheeted veining and potential for structural and grade continuity over a large strike and vertical length which can facilitate greater mining efficiency.
Since the last market update on North Zone in June 2022, a further 19 holes have been drilled into the area to test extensions of the pre-defined veining. Primarily the upper and western extents were tested using a drilling horizon high in the Aurora mine and, as a result, a new mineral domain was intercepted between the Aurora and North Zones, called the Boreal Zone. This new domain is divided from the targeted North Zone by the Balder fault which appears to bound the Boreal Zone to north-east as does the Frea fault to the south-west. Like Aurora and North Zone the Boreal Zone seems to follow an echelon pattern of sheeted veins within their respective fault blocks. Excitingly, the Boreal Zone is only approximately 180 m from current mining infrastructure.
Intercept highlights from the North Zone drilling include 19.4 g/t gold over 0.45 m (ETW 0.41m) within the western extension of North Zone, 207.0 g/t gold over 0.55 m (ETW 0.45 m) within the Boreal Zone and 72.8 g/t gold over 0.45 m (ETW 0.29 m) within the Aurora System which was traversed at the start of the drillholes on the way to the Boreal and North zones.
Drilling and identification of the Boreal Zone was a by-product of the upper west testing of north zone and as such the full extent of the veining has not been tested. A specific Boreal Zone drilling campaign has been designed to test the breadth and depth component of the veining. This campaign commenced in Q2 this year and we expect results in the coming months.
At Björkdal, all diamond drill core was logged and sampled by Björkdal geologists. Exploration drill hole samples were sent to CRS Laboratories Oy ("CRS") in Kempele,
Assaying was conducted utilizing the Pal1000 cyanide leaching processes. Mandalay's rigorous QA/QC program included the use of standard reference samples, blanks, duplicates, repeats, and internal laboratory quality assurance procedures.

Mandalay Resources is a Canadian-based natural resource company with producing assets in
Mandalay's mission is to create shareholder value through the profitable operation and continuing the regional exploration program, at both its Costerfield and Björkdal mines. Currently, the Company's main objective is to continue mining the high-grade Youle vein at Costerfield, bring online the deeper Shepherd veins, both of which will continue to supply high-grade ore to the processing plant, and to extend Youle Mineral Reserves. At Björkdal, the Company will aim to increase production from the Aurora Zone and other higher-grade areas in the coming years, in order to maximize profit margins from the mine.
