ECR Minerals PLC has released additional results from its drilling program at the Kuboid Hill site in the Creswick tenement, demonstrating continuity of quartz/gold mineralization. The drilling campaign has shown potential for a future small-scale operation, with high-grade results of 8.87g/t Au and 8.06g/t Au over 1 meter. Moreover, extensive broad mineralization has been illustrated in several holes, with contiguous gold present at 3.05g/t Au over 3 meters, 2.25g/t Au over 4 meters, and 1g/t Au over 5 meters. These results compare favorably with historical mining operations in Victoria, where broad mineralization averaged around 0.7 g/t Au.

The drilling campaign, comprising 1,025 meters of reverse circulation drilling, aimed to follow up on anomalous gold soil sampling, indicating the potential for a broader system. The results also tested best practices for first pass drilling evaluation at Creswick, addressing historical challenges of reporting a representative broad mineralization gold grade due to the coarse and random nature of gold in Central Victoria.

The company has received laboratory results for 15 out of the 17 holes drilled at Kuboid Hill, with evidence of anomalous gold within 14 of the 15 holes. Bulk sample testing at Creswick has indicated both greater prevalence and higher grades of gold, with ongoing testing on the results for Kuboid Hill. The best individual grades so far are from two holes: 1m @ 8.87g/t Au and 1m @ 8.06g/t Au.

The drilling recorded intercepts greater than 0.5 g/t Au average over a total of 51 meters, with the broadest identified mineralized zone being over 15 meters. Previous drilling campaigns within the Creswick project have only identified narrow veins and high-grade gold mineralization styles. The extensive broad mineralization demonstrated in several holes indicates the potential presence of larger ore bodies.

The results from the Kuboid Hill drilling program illustrate the potential for extensive presence of larger ore bodies, with significant intercepts and evidence of anomalous gold. ECR Minerals PLC continues to advance its exploration and development activities focused on gold in Australia.
