Flynn Gold Uncovers Multiple High-Grade Gold Veins at Trafalgar Prospect
Flynn Gold’s latest diamond drilling at the Trafalgar Prospect within its Golden Ridge Project reveals multiple high-grade gold veins, reinforcing the prospect’s geological model and potential scale. The company plans further drilling to refine resource estimates.
- Phase 4 diamond drilling completed with four holes totaling 880m
- Multiple high-grade gold intercepts across Trafalgar Main, Magazine, and South Zones
- Mineralisation remains open at depth and along strike
- Geological model refined, supporting future Mineral Resource estimation
- Trafalgar Prospect 100% owned with excellent infrastructure access
Strong Drilling Results Reinforce Trafalgar’s Potential
Flynn Gold Limited (ASX, FG1) has announced encouraging assay results from its recently completed Phase 4 diamond drilling program at the Trafalgar Prospect, part of its wholly owned Golden Ridge Project in Northeast Tasmania. The program comprised four drill holes totaling 880 metres, targeting extensions of known high-grade gold mineralisation.
The drilling intersected multiple high-grade gold veins across three key zones, Trafalgar Main, Magazine, and the emerging South Zone. Highlights include intercepts such as 1.8 metres at 3.8 grams per tonne (g/t) gold and 0.7 metres at 15.7 g/t gold in TFDD023, and 8 metres at 1.2 g/t gold including higher-grade sub-intervals in TFDD025. These results confirm the continuity of mineralisation and reinforce the company’s geological model, particularly at depth.
Geological Insights and Structural Complexity
Drilling has provided valuable data to refine Flynn Gold’s understanding of the structural controls on mineralisation. While most holes confirmed strong gold-bearing quartz-sulphide veins containing pyrite and arsenopyrite, one hole (TFDD024) encountered complex fault interactions that appear to influence mineral distribution. This insight is guiding the company’s approach to future targeting, especially in structurally complex zones.
Managing Director and CEO Neil Marston highlighted that the results not only reaffirm the high-grade nature of the Trafalgar system but also its significant scale potential. The company is now focused on updating its structural interpretation and planning follow-up drilling to test open zones along strike and at depth.
Advancing Towards Resource Definition
With the additional data from Phase 4 drilling, Flynn Gold aims to update its Exploration Target and progress towards a maiden Mineral Resource estimate for Trafalgar. The prospect benefits from excellent infrastructure access and is a cornerstone of the broader Golden Ridge Project, which hosts multiple high-quality gold prospects.
Flynn Gold is also advancing drilling at its Grenadier Prospect nearby, testing down-dip continuity of high-grade gold mineralisation previously identified in surface trenches. This multi-pronged exploration strategy underscores the company’s ambition to delineate a significant gold resource in Northeast Tasmania.
Context Within the Golden Ridge Project
The Golden Ridge Project covers a 167 square kilometre area and is characterised by intrusive-related gold systems with steeply dipping quartz veins containing arsenopyrite and pyrite. Flynn Gold’s systematic exploration has identified a 9-kilometre-long zone of mineralisation along the southern margin of the Golden Ridge Granodiorite, with Trafalgar as a key focus.
The company’s disciplined approach to sampling, assaying, and geological modelling, including the use of photon assay technology, supports robust data quality and confidence in the results. Flynn Gold continues to monitor and refine its exploration programs to unlock the project’s full potential.
Bottom Line?
Flynn Gold’s Phase 4 drilling success at Trafalgar sets the stage for resource definition and further exploration in Tasmania’s promising Golden Ridge Project.
Questions in the middle?
- How will the updated geological model influence the scale and grade of the upcoming Mineral Resource estimate?
- What are the timelines and targets for the next phase of drilling at Trafalgar and Grenadier prospects?
- How might structural complexities encountered affect future resource delineation and mining plans?
