SXG drills 242 metres @ 6.0 g/t gold traversing 8 high-grade veins in down-dip extension
Project Name: Sunday Creek Gold-Antimony Project
Project Location: Victoria (VIC), Australia
Project Stage: Advanced Exploration
ProjectBank Summary:
Southern Cross Gold Ltd (ASX: SXG) has reported exceptional gold assay results from drilling at the Rising Sun Prospect within its Sunday Creek Project in Victoria. Drill hole SDDSC144 intersected 242.1m @ 6.0 g/t Au (uncut), traversing eight distinct high-grade vein sets, including one of the project’s highest-grade results of 0.16m @ 3,330 g/t Au. Additional high-grade intervals include 4.1m @ 40.2 g/t Au and 3.6m @ 114.6 g/t Au. These results confirm significant gold mineralisation continuity at depth. Furthermore, SDDSC129, the deepest hole drilled to date, successfully extended mineralisation 100m down-dip, intersecting 1.5m @ 21.5 g/t Au at 1,270m.
Southern Cross Gold Highlights:
SDDSC144: 242.1m @ 6.0 g/t Au (uncut), including:
0.16m @ 3,330 g/t Au.
4.1m @ 40.2 g/t Au.
3.6m @ 114.6 g/t Au.
SDDSC129: 1.5m @ 21.5 g/t Au at 1,270m depth, extending mineralisation by 100m down-dip.
Ongoing drilling program with five rigs targeting 60,000m of drilling by Q3 2025.
MD/CEO Statement:
Michael Hudson, Managing Director, commented: "In a remarkable two-month span, SXG has hit the ultimate year-end quadrella at Sunday Creek, delivering extraordinary high-grade intersections across four distinct prospect areas. The sequential discoveries showcase the deposit's expansive high-grade nature over more than 1 km, starting with Christina's 1.7 m @ 254.0 g/t AuEq (9th best intersection), followed by Golden Dyke's broad 5.5 m @ 26.1 g/t AuEq, then culminating in two bonanza-grade hits: Apollo's 0.5 m @ 2,544.0 g/t AuEq (4th best) and Rising Sun's 0.16 m @ 3,352.0 g/t AuEq (7th best). This success across multiple prospect areas, yielding three top ten intersections in the project's history, validates the robust nature of the mineralisation system and highlights the effectiveness of the company's structural targeting methodology in this high-grade epizonal gold-antimony system."
