De Grey Mining Limited (ASX:DEG) has intersected very encouraging sulphide-rich alteration over large widths and depths from initial reverse circulation (RC) holes drilled on Section B at the newly discovered Hemi Prospect within the Mallina Gold Project in WA.
The sulphide zone at Section B expanded to over 160 metres wide and greater than 120 metres depth in RC drilling immediately below the known shallow gold mineralisation, including:
- 97 metres of sulphide mineralisation (downhole) in HERC001; and
- 45 metres of sulphide mineralisation (downhole) in HERC002.
- New additional parallel sulphide zones increase scale potential with new zones of 19 metres and 15 metres (downhole) in HERC002 and HEDD001 pre-collar.

In Section A, drilling intersected fresh and intense sulphide mineralisation from 192 metres (downhole) to 204 metres where the drilling rods have become bogged and drilling had to cease.
De Grey technical director Andy Beckwith said: “The significant sulphide zones beneath the high-grade gold zones on Sections A and B are very encouraging.
“The large sulphide zones on Section B have the potential to significantly increase Hemis scale.
“The genetic link between Sections A and B as intrusion hosted is exciting and increases the potential at Hemi.
“This is supported by the aircore drilling results to date that highlight every hole above the interpreted intrusions are anomalous in gold.
“The aircore and RC programs are continuing, and a diamond rig is expected on site later this week.”

At Section B, the alteration assemblage comprises quartz-sericite-sulphides (pyrite and arsenopyrite) with the sulphides hosted in fine sheeted veins and ranging from about 5% to 10% of the rock mass.
The fine-grained nature of the sulphide mineralisation makes accurate percentage estimates difficult and full assays results and detailed diamond core are expected to provide further definition Read More – Source
