Askari Metals Limited (ASX: $AS2) has announced a JORC (2012) Exploration Target for its 100%-owned Burracoppin Gold Project in WA's Wheatbelt region. The Exploration Target estimates a potential quantity of 8.212Mt to 11.121Mt at an average grade of 0.67g/t Au to 0.91g/t Au, totaling 176,000oz Au to 323,000oz Au at a cut-off grade of 0.3g/t Au. The Exploration Target is separate from the existing JORC (2012) Mineral Resource Estimate of 1.32Mt @ 1.52g/t Au for 64,600oz contained gold at a cut-off grade of 0.85g/t Au.
Askari Managing Director Gino D'Anna stated, 'A JORC (2012) Exploration Target of up to 323,000 ounces of gold underpins the significant upside that exists at the project. We recently delivered an inaugural JORC (2012) Mineral Resource Estimate at Burracoppin of ~65,000 ounces of contained gold at a grade of 1.52 g/t Au, using a 0.85 g/t Au cut-off grade. The achievement of these critical milestones demonstrates the pathway at Burracoppin and supports its continued exploration and development.'
