Errawarra Resources Ltd (ASX: ERW) is pleased to advise that it has awarded its inaugural drilling contract at the high-grade Elizabeth Hill Project, located in the Pilbara region of Western Australia.
HIGHLIGHTS:
Inaugural Drilling Contract awarded for Elizabeth Hill.
West Core Drilling has been awarded the diamond drilling contract under a partial drill for equity arrangement. Drilling is anticipated to commence imminently post EGM.
Drill targeting currently being finalised following site visit by Errawarra’s Management to ground truth targets.
Regional Soils program targeting regional structures with associated historical silver in soil anomalism is almost completed with 1,766 soils samples and 89 rock chip samples having been collected.
Rock chip sampling is aided using pXRF technology to qualitatively assess with the samples in the field.
Laboratory results are expected in 6-8 weeks.
Following a competitive tender process, the Company has awarded the diamond drilling contract to West Core Drilling. The upcoming drill program will be completed under a partial drill-for-equity arrangement and will focus on high-priority mine and near-mine targets. These include:
Near-surface mineralisation,
Down-plunge extensions, and
Strategic drill holes to enhance the geological understanding and structural orientation of the mineralised system.
Drilling is anticipated to commence in the week following the Company’s upcoming General Meeting (GM) planned for 19 May 2025.
Executive Director Bruce Garlick commented:
“We are delighted to partner with West Core as part of our inaugural drilling program. This contract award demonstrates our continued progression of the project, and we look forward to testing the asset with the drill bit in the coming weeks. It was also fantastic for the board to recently visit site and see all the readily available nearby infrastructure that could potentially feed into our development planning.”
Targeting for the drill program is currently being finalised, with active involvement from the Board of Errawarra and technical consultants ERM Consulting. A recent site visit completed by management has enabled ground-truthing of the high-priority targets.
As part of Errawarra’s ongoing project development and planning, management visited the Radio Hill processing plant, approximately 15 kilometres to the north which is owned by Artemis Resources (ASX: ARV) and currently in care and maintenance.
During the same site visit, the team also observed the almost completed regional soil sampling campaign which is targeting regional structures with associated historical silver in soil anomalism. A total 1,766 soil samples and 89 rock chips samples have been collected to date during this program which is anticipated to be completed in the coming week.
