Renegade Exploration Ltd (ASX:RNX) has received encouraging initial results from first pass aircore drilling at the Coralie Jean Prospect within its Yandal East Gold Project in Western Australia.

The program consisted of 121 holes for 8,001 metres with mineralisation outlining a previously unidentified gold system present over a strike length in excess of 2.5 kilometres.

Highlight results include:
• 4 metres at 4.47 g/t gold from 12 metres including 1 metre at 10.55 g/t gold from 12 metres;
• 4 metres at 1.40 g/t gold from 21 metres; and
• 2 metres at 2.82 g/t gold from 65 metres including 1 metre at 5.19 g/t gold from 66 metres.

 

It is worth noting that high-grade mineralisation up to 10.55 g/t gold was intersected around the main Coralie Jean Prospect.

This area had previously returned numerous high-grade rock chip samples but had never been drilled.

The southernmost line returned an assay of 5.19 g/t gold in a previously untested area.

Importantly, the new mineralisation is open in both directions with the nearest drill line 600 metres north of this result.

The Yandal Greenstone Belt has recorded historical production and current resources exceeding 15 million ounces of gold.

The area has been undergoing a renaissance thanks to the application of modern exploration techniques, with Northern Star (ASX:NST) and Echo Resources (ASX:EAR) having notable success to the West and South of Renegade’s tenements.

Renegade is currently reviewing and interpreting all the results received to date to guide future work programs at Yandal East.

The company has already started drilling at the Millrose Extension and Millrose West targets within the project area.
