How Koonenberry Gold’s 150m Hit at Sunnyside Could Redefine Enmore’s Potential

Significant Extension at Sunnyside Prospect

Koonenberry Gold Ltd has announced compelling assay results from its fifth diamond drill hole (25ENDD005) at the Sunnyside Prospect within the Enmore Gold Project in northeast New South Wales. The hole intersected a broad zone of gold mineralisation measuring 150 metres at an average grade of 0.71 grams per tonne (g/t) from 230 metres downhole. Notably, this includes higher-grade intervals such as 21 metres at 1.65 g/t and 10.4 metres at 2.36 g/t gold.

This latest intersection extends the known mineralisation by approximately 60 metres beyond the previous hole (25ENDD004), which returned 149.5 metres at 0.94 g/t gold. The continuity of mineralisation over such extensive widths reinforces the prospect's potential as a bulk tonnage target with promising grades.

Robust Geological Setting and Open Mineralisation

The mineralised zone at Sunnyside is estimated to have a true width of around 75 metres across the strike of the Sunnyside shear zone, a major structural corridor controlling gold deposition. Geological logging and assay data confirm that the mineralisation is hosted primarily within granite, extending away from the granite-sediment contact, and remains open in multiple directions; up-dip, down-dip, and along strike.

Structural analysis reveals a complex system of multiphase veining and alteration, including quartz-sericite-pyrite and iron carbonate assemblages, typical of orogenic gold systems. The presence of visible gold in several drill holes, including the upcoming results from hole 25ENDD006, further supports the prospectivity of the system.

Strong Momentum and Fully Funded Exploration

Managing Director Dan Power expressed optimism about the results, highlighting the remarkable continuity and scale of the mineralisation. The company has completed its inaugural diamond drilling program at Enmore, intersecting broad zones of gold from surface and high-grade intervals at depth.

With a cash position of $10.35 million following a recent $5 million capital raise, Koonenberry Gold is well positioned to advance its exploration plans. A follow-up drilling campaign exceeding 10,000 metres is planned to test the extent and continuity of the mineralisation along the 150m by 550m structural corridor and other prospects within the district.

Context Within a Growing Portfolio

The Enmore Gold Project sits within a portfolio of highly prospective gold and copper projects across New South Wales. The geological setting at Sunnyside shares similarities with the nearby Hillgrove gold-antimony deposit, suggesting potential for significant discoveries. Koonenberry Gold’s systematic approach and robust assay results mark an encouraging step in delineating a valuable resource.

While no formal resource estimate or mining studies have yet been completed, the consistent drill results and structural interpretations provide a solid foundation for future work. The company continues to integrate geological, geochemical, and geophysical data to refine targeting and maximize exploration success.
