Spitfire Materials: Drilling Commences at Alice River Gold Project
(firmenpresse) - Spitfire Materials: Drilling Commences at Alice River Gold Project
5 October 2017 - Spitfire Materials Limited (ASX: SPI) is pleased to advise that it has commenced its maiden drilling program at the Alice River Gold Project in Queensland. The initial Reverse Circulation drilling program, comprising 17 holes for approximately 2,430m, will be conducted over the Alice Queen and One Mile Mining Leases and is expected to take 2-3 weeks to complete.
The Alice River Gold Project is located 270km west of Cooktown, or 470km north-west of Cairns, in NE Queensland, at the southern end of the Savannah Province (see Figure 1). The project encompasses eight Exploration Permits (EPMs) and eight granted Mining Leases (MLs).
Spitfires Managing Director, John Young, said the initial phase of RC drilling was designed to follow-up historical sampling results and modelling that resulted in the definition of an initial Exploration Target, which was reported earlier this year (see ASX release dated 26th May 2017 for full details).
The Alice River Project has a long history of prospecting and exploration work, commencing with the discovery of gold in the area by John Dickie in 1903. In the late 1970s, Anaconda Australia explored the northern parts of the project around the Potallah and Gossan prospects including undertaking geochemical surveys, geophysical surveys and drilling. In the 1980s to 1990s, a significant amount of exploration work was conducted by Cyprus Gold Australia, Beckstar and Goldminco, which focused further south around the Peninsula King, Alice Queen and Posie prospects.

The key Exploration Licence, EPM 26266, was recently granted over the central 15km of the Alice River shear zone, providing contiguous coverage over the eight granted Mining Leases. Exploration on granted EPM 26266 has been postponed as the Company continues to work with the Olkola Corporation on a suitable access agreement, including appropriate cultural and heritage surveys.
