Australian exploration and development company, Kingston Resources Limited, has resumed drilling operations at the Livingstone Gold Project, which is located northwest of Meekatharra in Western Australia.
Contractors mobilised to site last week and commenced drilling up to 9,000 metres of RC and air-core holes, intended to extend and infill mineralisation identified in the previous round of drilling, which was finalised in August this year.
Kingston said the first priority of the campaign will be to extend and infill mineralisation along the Kingsley prospect where the last round of drilling identified grade along a strike length of 2 kilometres with results including five metres at 6.56 grams per tonne of gold. Holes will also be drilled at the Drake and Dampier prospects to further define both areas.
Kingston’s Managing Director, Andrew Corbett said the company is excited to be back drilling the project.
“The initial target, Kingsley, is located within the Livingstone’s Find area which is our biggest geochemical target. We’ve only properly tested a relatively small part of it and it’s already generated some great results,” Mr Corbett commented.
The Livingstone Gold Project is an advanced exploration project with an existing JORC2004 Inferred mineral resource of 49,900 ounces. The company expects to have first assays in October.
