Here’s what else is piquing investor interest today.

ASX All Ords gold stock jumps on high-grade intercepts

Investors are bidding up New Murchison shares following the release of a new batch of promising exploratory drilling results.

The ASX All Ords gold stock has been conducting a reverse circulation (RC) drilling campaign at the Crown Prince East Pit prospect. That’s a satellite deposit at New Murchison’s flagship Crown Prince Gold Mine, located in Western Australia.

This morning, management reported on new high-grade gold intercepts, which they said have delineated additional mineralisation within the designed pit outline of the Crown Prince East Pit.

For the geologically inclined, management noted:

CP East is centred on a mineralised dilational zone in the local mafic unit (foliated basalt and dolerite). This zone hosts a set of sub parallel southerly dipping lodes which host gold mineralisation in quartz carbonate veins.

New Murchison’s latest exploration program consisted of 49 RC holes totalling 5,365 metres, as well as two diamond holes, which were drilled to ascertain structural data.

Among the top results, the ASX All Ords gold stock reported 18 metres at 10.3 grams of gold per tonne from 54 metres, including 6 metres at 29.3 grams of gold per tonne from 65 metres from one hole.

A second hole returned 12 metres at 10.3g/t Au from 34 metres, including 1 metre at 42.2g/t Au from 36 metres.

“These encouraging results open the opportunity of proving up additional reserves within the close proximity of the current Crown Prince Gold Operations,” management noted.

What’s been happening with New Murchison Gold?

As at 31 December, New Murchison held $92 million in cash.
