Kingwest Resources Ltd (ASX:KWR) has updated the mineral resource estimate for the Pericles prospect at its Menzies Gold Project (MGP) in Western Australia.
The new estimate is 0.63 million tonnes at 1.8 g/t gold (indicated resource) and 0.78 million tonnes at 1.7 g/t (inferred resource) for a combined total of 1.4 million tonnes at 1.8 g/t (79,500 ounces).
This represents an 87% increase in contained gold metal over the previous estimate in March 2016, which the company attributes to significantly higher tonnages and contained gold ounces at lower grades.
“Impressive increase”[hhmc]
Kingwest chief executive officer Ed Turner said: “This is another great result with limited amount of drilling late in 2019 contributing to an impressive increase in the Pericles resource estimate. “Mineralisation remains open along strike and at depth and therefore further increases in the future are possible.”
Along with other resources at Yunndaga, Bellenger and Warrior, the new Pericles estimate brings the total near surface resources at MGP to 3.28 million tonnes at 2.0 g/t gold for 208,300 ounces.
