ASX-listed Wia Gold has launched assay outcomes from 19 819 m of current drilling at its Kokoseb gold challenge, in Namibia.
Wia notes that outcomes from 29 diamond drill holes have recognized a brand new high-grade mineralised horizon beneath the Central zone and an prolonged high-grade mineralisation past the present openpit mineral useful resource estimate (MRE).
The outcomes additionally additional exhibit the interior continuity, scale and robustness of the high-grade plunging shoots.
Wia says an extra ten reverse circulation (RC) holes had been accomplished, together with eight infill holes inside the openpit space and two beneath the scoping research pits within the Southern zone, validating inner grade continuity.
Moreover, assay outcomes from the 39 drill holes embody a brand new high-grade goal recognized within the Central zone, supporting underground progress potential.
This contains 9 m of gold grading 10.64 g/t from 811 m, together with 4 m of gold grading 22.76 g/t in KDD147; and 9 m of gold grading 2.24 g/t from 801 m, together with 3 m of gold grading 3.18 g/t in KDD137.
Furthermore, the corporate says robust continuity was demonstrated within the Central and Southern zones high-grade plunging shoots and Western zone deep goal.
An up to date MRE is at the moment being calculated and can embody all historic sampling as much as and together with the interval coated by this announcement.
The Kokoseb definitive feasibility research (DFS) stays on schedule for completion within the third quarter of this yr.
Six diamond drill rigs are at the moment advancing the definition drilling of excessive‑grade zones to help future underground useful resource potential.
Wia MD and CEO Henk Diederichs reiterates that the invention of a brand new high-grade goal beneath the Central zone, along with the robust continuity demonstrated within the current high-grade shoots in each the Central and Southern zones, additional strengthens Kokoseb’s underground potential.
He notes that mineralisation has been prolonged to 580 m of strike beneath the scoping research pit shell, and each high-grade shoots stay open at depth.
“With six diamond rigs working, we’re persevering with underground useful resource definition forward of an up to date MRE and the DFS within the third quarter of calendar yr 2026, with rising confidence within the long-term scale and worth of the deposit.”
