Diamond Drilling Begins at Tolmer Discovery
Barton Gold Holdings (OTCQB:BGDFF) has initiated diamond drilling at its Tolmer prospect within the South Australian Tarcoola Gold Project. The initial program comprises 3 holes totaling ~550 metres in the 'eastern gold zone' to study structural controls and guide future targeting.
The Tolmer discovery has demonstrated significant potential with impressive grades up to 83.6g/t Au and 17,600g/t Ag. The March 2025 discovery hole ranked as the 5th highest-grade silver intersection globally in H1 2025, yielding 6m @ 4,747 g/t Ag from 46m depth. Recent assays have extended high-grade silver horizons and revealed coincident high-grade gold up to ~13g/t Au within a mineralized footprint spanning approximately 1.5km wide.
Barton Gold Holdings (OTCQB:BGDFF) ha avviato trivellazioni diamantate presso il prospetto Tolmer all'interno del progetto aurifero Tarcoola, South Australia. Il programma iniziale comprende 3 fori per un totale di ~550 metri nella 'zona aurifera orientale' per analizzare i controlli strutturali e guidare il targeting futuro.
La scoperta di Tolmer ha mostrato un potenziale significativo con tenori impressionanti fino a 83.6g/t Au e 17,600g/t Ag. Il foro di scoperta di marzo 2025 si è classificato come la 5ª intersezione d'argento di maggior tenore a livello mondiale nel 1S 2025, con 6m @ 4,747 g/t Ag da 46m di profondità. Le analisi recenti hanno esteso gli orizzonti ad alto tenore d'argento e rivelato oro ad alto tenore coincidente fino a ~13g/t Au in una zona mineralizzata che si estende per circa 1.5km di larghezza.
