Brightstar Resources (ASX:BTR) intersected visible gold at numerous intervals from ongoing diamond drilling at the Two Mile Hill deposit at the Sandstone gold project in Western Australia, according to a Thursday Australian bourse filing.
The company said visible gold is hosted across multiple holes in thin quartz veins, predominantly within a tonalite intrusion and neighboring mafic rocks.
The combined Two Mile Hill-Shillington deposit hosts a current resource of 753,000 ounces at 1.5 grams per tonne gold, with the ongoing reverse circulation and diamond drilling program of about 9,100 meters designed to infill areas of the mineral resource at depth for inclusion in a pre-feasibility study targeted for the second half of the year, it added.
