Noble Peak Resources (NPK-A) has discovered two new zones of gold mineralization during a drill program that tested an area north of and below the Worcester gold mine in South Africa’s Barberton greenstone belt.
The gold mineralization is associated with quartz-carbonate altered schists that are enclosed in the hangingwall of the mine rock sequence.
The zones lie 180 metres and 20 metres north of the Worcester Mine vein, and were intersected by three holes.
One hole, No. 15, intersected the Hangingwall zone and returned 2.2 metres grading 3.53 grams gold per tonne and 1.49 metres of 2.96 grams. The same hole returned a 1.4-metre intersection grading 4.92 grams from the Worcester Mine vein.
In total, Noble Peak has intesected gold in four of the seven holes drilled to test the potential below the old mine workings. Assay results have ranged from 3.53 grams over 2 metres up to 3,647 grams over a sample width of 1 metre.
More drilling will be completed in the coming months.
