The discovery sits at the south of the current pit design of the Woodlark Gold Mine.
In a media statement by operators Geopacific Resources Limited, assay results reveal new, wide sections of continuous-grade gold mineralisation, including an intercept of 11 metres at 6.56 grams per tonne gold from 71 metres.
The company says it has assayed an historic, geotechnical drill hole from the Busai deposit. The diamond drillhole was designed to test the strength of the proposed pit wall in 2008 and was consequently drilled diagonal to the normal drilling direction.
