Core Insights - Novo Resources Corp. announced significant high-grade gold results from its maiden drilling program at the Tibooburra Gold Project, with notable intercepts indicating a shallow plunging shoot of high-grade gold mineralization over a 300 m strike length [2][4][7]. Drilling Results - The drilling program at the Clone prospect consisted of 14 holes totaling 1,984 m, successfully testing 500 m of strike [4][7]. - Significant intercepts included 12 m at 5.90 g/t Au from 16 m and 17 m at 2.40 g/t Au from 59 m, demonstrating continuity in grade and width [7][16]. - The peak intercept of 12 m at 5.90 g/t Au fills a gap in previous drilling, indicating a well-defined mineralized trend [7][16]. Exploration Plans - Follow-up drilling is being designed to extend gold mineralization to the north, with further systematic exploration planned along the project strike length [2][4][31]. - The New Bendigo prospect, located 7 km southeast of Clone, will undergo structural analysis and potential extensional drilling [3][31]. Project Overview - The Tibooburra Gold Project covers 630 sq km and includes six granted exploration licenses, extending over a historic strike of more than 22 km [5][6]. - The project is considered an advanced exploration opportunity, with a binding farm-in agreement allowing Novo to acquire a 70% interest in the tenements [6][8]. Geological Context - The mineralization at Tibooburra is classified as an orogenic gold system, sharing similarities with turbidite-hosted gold deposits in Central Victoria [27][28]. - Geological mapping has identified a west-dipping reverse fault associated with high-grade gold mineralization, indicating potential for further discoveries [11][28]. Future Work - Future activities will include detailed structural analysis, down hole imaging, and relogging of core at New Bendigo to better understand controls on gold mineralization [31][32]. - Broader scale work will focus on understanding the structural controls on gold mineralization across the Tibooburra belt [33].
