PNX Metals Ltd (ASX:PNX) has intersected additional high-grade gold mineralisation from a follow-up reverse circulation (RC) drill program of 1,669 metres at its 100% owned Fountain Head Gold Project.
Highlight results include:
- 3 metres at 25.94 g/t gold from 117 metres in FHRC106;
- 4 metres at 5.39 g/t gold from 82 metres in FHRC108; and
- 3 metres at 5.25 g/t gold from 110 metres in FHRC117.
Fountain Head, together with the Iron Blow and Mt Bonnie volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) deposits, form the Hayes Creek zinc-gold-silver project in the Pine Creek region of the Northern Territory.

PNX managing director James Fox said: “These drill results confirm our view that significant mineralisation exists outside the current resource envelope at Fountain Head, consistent with the recently developed geological model.
“Numerous targets have now been identified and with further testing there is the potential to grow resources.
“This exploration work is being undertaken as part of the companys efforts to determine the viability of a heap leach operation at Fountain Head that may pave the way for the development of the broader Hayes Creek Project.”
