De Grey Mining grows scale of Hemi gold discovery with Aquila extensions

De Grey Mining Ltd (ASX:DEG) continues to increase the overall dimensions of the Hemi gold discovery near Port Hedland in Western Australia with recent drilling extending the Aquila zone at depth and along strike.

The scale of Hemi continues to increase with overall dimensions growing to around 2.5 kilometres north to south and 2 kilometres west to east.

Recent reverse circulation (RC) and diamond drilling in the Aquila zone targeted the down dip and strike extensions to the deposit with new intercepts confirming consistent mineralisation and extensive thick plunging shoots of high-grade mineralisation occur over large portions of the strike length.

Shares have been up 9% intra-day to 79 cents and De Grey's market cap is approximately $865.3 million.
