Patronus Resources (ASX:PTN) said a surface sampling program across the Pine Creek project in the Northern Territory defined priority gold targets for follow-up exploration and drilling, according to a Tuesday Australian bourse filing.
Infill sampling at the J25 prospect defined a coherent 1.5-kilometer-long surface gold anomaly associated with the Western Shear Zone, returning individual results of up to 0.99 grams per tonne grade of gold.
Infill sampling also defined and refined additional priority targets at Burnside SW and Mt Margaret.
Its shares rose 2% in recent trading on Tuesday.
