Latest assay results from Sunshine Gold drilling within a 15km-long mineralised corridor at Ravenswood West confirm broad copper zones at Titov and the Bank deposits.

Assay results from broad step-off drilling at Titov Main have extended the length of the mineralised zone to more than 500m.

Sunshine Gold has now defined Titov Main to depths of 350m, with an average intercept thickness of 81m.

Latest results include 103m grading at 0.57 per cent recoverable CuEq (from surface) including 7m at 2.35 per cent recoverable CuEq (from 92m depth).

Sunshine said the two southernmost RC holes (22BKRC004-22BKRC005) at the Bank contained increasing copper grades toward the end of hole.

This suggests a strengthening copper trend to the south of current drilling. Results include 70m at 0.22 per cent recoverable CuEq (22BKRC005), including 3m grading at 0.76 per cent recoverable CuEq (from 153m depth).

“The five-RC hole reconnaissance program at the Bank has given us a solid vector to another porphyry copper-gold-silver-molybdenum system,” Sunshine Gold managing director Damien Keys said.

“The 70m thick intercept of copper mineralisation at the end of 22BKRC005 is a fantastic result from limited drill metres and will allow us to effectively test the Bank in our September drilling campaign.

“The results from the eastern end of Titov Main have returned more solid copper and molybdenum mineralisation.

“Titov is a significant mineral system, now delineated over 500m of strike, to depths of 350m with an average intercept thickness of 81m.

“The next round of pending results will incorporate those drilled into a strong IP conductor at Titov Main.

“We eagerly await the outstanding assay results and have already commenced follow up drill planning at the Bank, and our first drilling at Gagarin copper-gold-silver-molybdenum and Wilburs Hill gold.”

Ravenswood West is comprised of several historic gold mining areas including the Dreghorn, Kirkers, Trieste and Conolly goldfields about 10km south-west of Ravenswood township and the Ravenswood Gold mining operation.

Sunshine Gold exercised its option to acquirethe gold-copper-rare earths tenements from Stavely last year for $400,000 and a 1 per cent net smelter royalty on gold revenue.
