Southern Cross Gold (ASX:SXG) announces high-grade mineralisation extension at Apollo prospect

Southern Cross Gold Ltd (ASX:SXG) has announced the results from three diamond drill holes at the 100%-owned Sunday Creek Gold-Antimony Project in Victoria. The drilling confirmed the extension of high-grade mineralisation at the Apollo prospect, with highlights including 21.9 m @ 4.0 g/t AuEq and 7.8 m @ 7.5 g/t AuEq. The Company's Managing Director, Michael Hudson, expressed excitement about the results, emphasizing the effectiveness of VRIFY's AI in confirming new targets and the potential for additional mineralisation at the Apollo East target.

Executive Commentary on High-Grade Mineralisation Extension

Michael Hudson, Managing Director of SXG, stated, 'We are back at Apollo with these three drill holes, that continue to show Apollo is improving with further drilling, especially at depth. Each hole delivers a unique outcome: SDDSC128 demonstrates continuity of high-grade zones with 20 m to 60 m extensions, while SDDSC124 expands mineralisation 100 m down dip in the deepest hole drilled east-west at Apollo. Not to be outdone, SDDSC127 drilled four vein sets (with two new vein sets identified) at Apollo East. The common thread linking all drill holes at Apollo East is the confirmation of the geological target by VRIFY AI. Using an unbiased approach to mineral exploration, VRIFY AI identified mineralisation patterns within multiple layers of data from Sunday Creek to successfully delineate the potential for additional mineralisation at the Apollo East target.'

Summary of High-Grade Mineralisation Extension and Outlook

The drilling results at the Sunday Creek Gold-Antimony Project have confirmed the extension of high-grade mineralisation at the Apollo prospect, showcasing the effectiveness of VRIFY's AI-powered exploration targets. With the potential for additional mineralisation at the Apollo East target, the Company is planning a significant number of further holes under and to the east of Apollo. The project's systematic drill program is strategically targeting significant vein formations, aiming to uncover the potential extent of this mineralised system. Additionally, the project's location within the Melbourne Structural Zone in the Lachlan Fold Belt and the presence of antimony further enhance its prospects. The Company's ambitions to continue exploration and leverage the potential of VRIFY's AI model indicate a positive outlook for the project's future.
