PLC Resources has completed its first drill test at the Rochefort gold prospect in Western Australia’s Murchison region, beginning evaluation of what it describes as a major gold anomaly. The company drilled into the target area to test the geology associated with the prospect. Reports from multiple outlets say the drilling intersects quartz veins, sulphides, and alteration, indicating mineralised features of interest at Rochefort. The drilling program is positioned as an early phase in the assessment of the anomaly ahead of assay results. All accounts state that laboratory results are expected within weeks, with The West Australian specifying that assays are due within about six weeks. The information provided by the outlets focuses on the initial drilling intersections and the timing of forthcoming assay results, rather than on any quantified grades or resource estimates at this stage. PLC Resources is therefore moving from field drilling to laboratory testing to determine the extent and significance of gold mineralisation at Rochefort.
