ECR Minerals PLC (AIM:ECR) said outcrop mapping and sampling at Upper Gorge Creek at the Lolworth project, North Queensland had indicated the presence of gold.
“A number of exposed outcrops up to 3m wide x 20m long in the Gorge Creek West ridgeline show gold results up to 13.75 g/t Au from initial rock chip testing” said the statement.
Rock chips from Gorge Creek East area, meanwhile, showed one result of 8.02 g/t.
Adam Jones, ECR's technical director, said: "Following on from the Reedy Creek, Gorge Creek and Woolshed Creek results announced on 25 September 2023, today's results from Gorge Creek provide further evidence that Lolworth is becoming a bona fide exploration opportunity.
“Our best result of 128 ppm gold announced in September 2023 is backed up by a number of additional high-grade samples taken within the surrounding area.”
