Ausgold has started a 24,000m reverse circulation (RC) drilling programme at its 100%-owned Katanning Gold Project (KGP) in Katanning, Western Australia (WA).
The RC drilling programme is designed to target mineralisation within a 10km radius of the KGP resource area.

Initially, the programme will test strike extensions of the Jinkas deposit, as well as new targets generated through the re-interpretation of historical exploration data and the recent round of air core (AC) drilling. In addition, surveys will be performed for ground-based geophysics such as gravity and moving loop electromagnetics (EM) at Jackson-Olympia, Jinkas, Lukin, and Fraser.
Ausgold’s Katanning Gold Project is 275km south-east of Perth and 40km north-east of the wheatbelt town of Katanning.
The company holds a dominant ground position in this relatively underexplored greenstone belt, an area prospective for Archean gold deposits.
KGP covers 4,031km² of the underexplored Katanning greenstone belt in south-west Western Australia.
