GEO Exploration Limited (LSE:GEO) has reported encouraging soil geochemistry results from its Gorge Project in Western Australia, including a peak assay of 7.74 grams per tonne of gold from the Gorge Mine target. Gold was detected in 99.6% of the 245 samples collected, providing further evidence of widespread mineralisation across the project area.
Results Strengthen Priority Gold Targets
The sampling programme identified strong and coherent gold-in-soil anomalies, with several samples returning grades above 1 gram per tonne of gold. The results reinforce the Gorge Mine target and the nearby 401 Prospect as priority areas for further exploration.
Both targets form part of an approximately five-kilometre mineralised corridor that GEO is evaluating for its potential to host additional gold mineralisation.
Multi-element geochemical analysis also identified pathfinder element associations consistent with intrusion-related and orogenic gold systems, providing further geological support for the company’s exploration model.
Expanded Exploration Programme Planned Ahead of Drilling
Following the latest results, GEO intends to significantly expand its exploration activities at Gorge. The next phase will include approximately 1,188 additional soil samples alongside rock-chip geochemistry and detailed geological mapping.
The programme is designed to better define the extent of the identified anomalies and allow GEO to refine and rank prospective targets before beginning its planned maiden drilling campaign.
The latest results increase the exploration potential of the Gorge Project, although drilling will ultimately be required to determine whether the surface geochemical anomalies correspond with significant high-grade mineralisation at depth.
