Hannans Lake Johnston Project Gold Prospects
ASX Announcement
1 February 2010
Lake Johnston Project Gold Prospects
= The Lake Johnston Project has the potential to host significant narrow,
high grade gold mineralisation along a 25km corridor of prospective ground
-- refer attached Location Map.
- At the Ernest Prospect, recently returned assays from Hannans drilling
included:
o 2m @ 6.3g/t gold and 60.3g/t silver from within 8m @ 1.9g/t gold and
20.4g/t silver (LJRC021) and;
o 84m @ 1.8g/t silver from 4m (LJRC020) * Gold and silver mineralisation at
- Ernest remains open to the north.
- At the Mt Gordon Prospect, historical intercepts include 5m @ 7.1g/t gold
from 24m and 2m @ 6.9g/t gold from 70m.
- Hannans is planning additional gold exploration activities at both the
Ernest and Mt Gordon Prospects.
Western Australian minerals explorer Hannans Reward Ltd (ASX:HNR) believes
its Lake Johnston Project (located 100km west of Norseman, in the
Goldfields region of Western Australia) has the potential to host
significant narrow, high grade gold mineralisation.
Recently received 1m split assays from Hannans reverse circulation (RC)
drilling at the Ernest Prospect have returned high grade, coincident gold
and silver mineralisation within a narrow (<8m) fine-grained felsic
porphyry intrusive unit.
Wide (>80m) silver mineralisation was also
encountered within a sulphidic quartz-sericite schist unit.
Samples were assayed at ALS, Malaga for Au via Fire Assay/AAS and for Ag,
As, Ba, Bi, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mg, Mn, Mo, Ni, Pb, S, Sb, Ti, U, V, W, and Zn
via Four Acid Digest/ICP-AES.
Oregrade check assaying on the high gold and
silver values produced excellent repeatability.
All significant assays (4m
composite) from the RC drilling were reported in the 1st Quarter Activities
report dated 30 October 2009.
The high grade gold and silver mineralisation within LJRC021 is located on
the northernmost drill traverse thus mineralisation remains open to the
north (refer attached Interpreted Geology and Drill Section figures).
Desktop studies will also continue into gold anomalism at the recently
acquired Mt Gordon Prospect located in the south of the project.
A
substantial amount of work has been completed at Mt Gordon by previous
explorers including soil geochemical surveys and RAB and RC drilling which
have produced multiple gold anomalies including the Richard anomaly which
has intercepts including 5m @ 7.1g/t gold from 24m, 2m @ 6.9g/t gold from
70m and 2m @ 3.85g/t gold from 92m.
Petrology on mineralised lithologies
indicates that gold is hosted by a "hydrothermally altered felsic
intrusive".
Future exploration work will focus on delineating the extent and nature of
the felsic intrusive bodies within the Lake Johnston Project and their
apparent genetic association with gold and silver mineralisation.
