NORTHERN Mining says that it will commence a 1,000M reverse circulation drilling programme in late May 2009 at May at Blair North Prospect in East Kalgoorlie, Western Australia.
The company says that drilling will concentrate on the highly prospective Southern Zone of the Blair North prospect and some additional drilling will be carried out at the Northern Zone where grades of up to 23 g/t have been intersected.
Northern Mining says that recent diamond and RC drilling extended the existing southern mineralised zone up-dip to the northeast and down-dip to the west; it is open to the northeast, to the north and to the west and has been intersected over 100m of strike length.
The firm claims that preliminary indications from previous drillhole data for the Southern Zone are that the gold plunges/dips steeply as a series of quartz-sulphide shoots hosted within fractured and veined basalt, sandwiched between ultramafic units.
