Sunrise Resources plc announced a 25% increase in gold grades from re-analysis of the reported high grade drill samples at its Baker’s gold project in Western Australia.
DLR4 Target
The routine re-analysis of the high-grade samples aimed to evaluate possible nugget effect.
Sunrise compared the new results from the analysis of 1 kg bulk cyanide leach and leach tail fire assay with the previous results of 50g fire assay.
New reporting interval in hole 21SBRC002 on the DLR4 target showed 2m grading 14.4 g/t gold from 64m downhole including 1m grading 26.5 g/t gold.
Previously reported interval from hole 21SBRC002 on DLR4 target was 2m grading 11.5 g/t gold from 64m downhole.
The company added that 95% of the contained gold was cyanide leachable.
ACCURATE
“This is a pleasing result as the prime objective in conducting the re-analysis was to make sure the original analysis did not over-report the gold content due to the potential for the nugget effect,” said executive chairman Patrick Cheetham.
“The higher values being reported today are considered to be a more accurate measure of the gold grade due to the larger sample size.”
