Westgold Polar Star lode gets its wings
Westgold (ASX: WGX) continues to extend its Bluebird-South Junction mining complex in WA, through its ongoing resource development drilling which has returned a record drill intercept for the Polar Star lode.
The record drill intercept of 3.71m at 18.02g/t of gold is a standout among other significant intersections returned from both South Junction and Polar Star.
Resource development drilling will continue, with two surface drill rigs and two underground drill rigs in operation.
Westgold managing director and chief executive Wayne Bramwell says the Bluebird-South Junction mine is rapidly becoming the key growth driver of Westgold’s Murchison portfolio.
“Our team is mining the Bluebird and South Junction lodes now and with intercepts like 13.71m at 18.02g/t of gold from the Polar Star lode, we see a third mining opportunity rapidly emerging,” he said.
“The system remains open and with further drilling Polar Star has the potential to expand mine outputs towards 1.5mtpa.”
The updated mineral resource estimate for Bluebird-South Junction is pending.
