Barton Gold Holdings Reports High-Grade Assay Results from Tunkillia Project

Barton Gold Holdings Limited has released new assay results from its Tunkillia Gold Project in South Australia. The latest assays from approximately 40,000m of reverse circulation drilling in the 'Phase 2' resource upgrade have yielded significant findings. Key results include high-grade intersections such as 13m at 5.01 g/t Au from 55m depth and 27m at 1.89 g/t Au from 33m depth. These results come from the southern end of the main 'Area 223' optimised open pit.

The company notes that 'Phase 1' and 'Phase 2' assays have enhanced the most valuable areas of the pit, with some intersections identifying broader and higher-grade extensions of the Area 51 pit. The pre-feasibility study for Tunkillia, in collaboration with GR Engineering, aims for completion by Q1 CY27. This timeline intends to assess further drilling and prospective mineral resource potential.

Managing Director Alexander Scanlon highlighted the importance of these results in aiding Barton’s objectives for resource upgrades and mining lease applications.
