Sunday Creek Gold-Antimony Project Completes Four Drillholes

VANCOUVER – Southern Cross Gold Consolidated Ltd. reported on four drillholes from the Sunday Creek Gold-Antimony Project in Victoria. Best results included 12.2 m @ 32.4 g/t Au from 447.0 m in drillhole SDDSC188, including the highest individual Au assay (0.2 m @ 1,050 g/t Au) in Golden Dyke to date.
The best gold intersection drilled at Golden Dyke to date – 12.2 m @ 33.3 g/t AuEq (32.4 g/t Au, 0.4% Sb) from 447 m depth. This confirms Golden Dyke as a major high-grade zone within the Sunday Creek project and ranks as the 15th best composite hit across the entire project. A single sample returned 0.2 m @ 1,050 g/t Au (plus 0.55% Sb) from 452.7 m – the highest gold grade ever recorded at Golden Dyke. Two additional samples exceeded 250 g/t gold: 0.35 m @ 259 g/t Au (plus 1.45% Sb) and 0.18 m @ 301 g/t Au (plus 1.52% Sb), all within a high-grade core of 3.1 m @ 126.6 g/t AuEq.
The drilling intersected eight vein sets in total, including two new mineralized structures (GD82 and GD83) outside the current Exploration Target. These returned 0.2 m @ 29.8 g/t AuEq and 3.9 m @ 3.9 g/t AuEq respectively, with a 50 m to 70 m step-down from previous drilling – expanding the potential size of the deposit. SDDSC186W1 successfully intersected altered sediment between Golden Dyke and Rising Sun, linking these two areas. Golden Dyke has only been defined with confidence to 600 m below surface – much shallower than Rising Sun which extends to over 1,100 m.
Michael Hudson, President & CEO, said, “SDDSC188 has delivered the best composite intersection in Golden Dyke to date with 12.2 m @ 33.3 g/t AuEq, including the highest individual gold assay in Golden Dyke at 0.2 m @ 1,050 g/t Au. This hole intersected eight vein sets in Golden Dyke, with two vein sets located outside the current Exploration Target, achieving a 50 m to 70 m step-down and adding significant tonnage potential to the system.
“Importantly, the drilling has now linked Golden Dyke and Rising Sun together, demonstrating these are part of the same large-scale mineralized system. To date, Golden Dyke has been defined with confidence to 600 m below surface, with considerable exploration upside remaining at depth. The consistent high-grade intercepts and robust continuity we’re seeing reinforce Sunday Creek’s position as a globally significant gold-antimony discovery.”
