Serabi Gold plc
(“Serabi” or the “Company”)
Step out drilling at Palito continues to extend mining potential to the south
Serabi Gold plc (AIM:SRB, TSX:SBI), the Brazilian-focused gold mining and development company, is pleased to announce the results from its ongoing exploration programmes being undertaken at its operations in the Tapajos.
Highlights
- Serabi is undertaking a systematic step-out drill programme along the Palito trend. The drilling is focused on a series of closely spaced drill traverses south of Palito towards the Currutela Prospect.
- Drilling to date has returned multiple high-grade gold intersections from a newly discovered pay shoot, on the G3 vein, located 200 metres to the south of the current mine workings.
- The newly identified, high grade intersections (see Table 2 below) include:
- 2.0 metres at 29.82 grammes per tonne (“g/t”) gold (“Au”) from 337.85m (PDD0557) including 1.3m at 44.75 g/t Au
- 1.5m @ 8.08 g/t Au from 371.7m (PDD0534) including 0.89m at 12.88 g/t Au.
- 0.65m @ 3.87 g/t Au from 290.83m (PDD0556)
- 2.0m @ 33.76 g/t Au from 76.75m (PDD0558) including 1.0m at 64.63 g/t Au
- The results continue to suggest that the Palito orebody has the potential to extend south into the Currutela Prospect, which would open up an overall southerly strike of three kilometres.
Mike Hodgson, CEO of Serabi, commented:
“I am delighted to announce these positive results from our ongoing exploration programmes. The results, which include multiple, newly identified, high grade gold intersections on the G3 ore zone, indicate this vein’s further continuity. The vein is now established over a one and a half kilometre strike length, and this recent drilling indicates the vein remains open to the south and reinforces our belief that the Palito orebody will ultimately extend and be continuous with the Currutela Prospect. Additionally, the success of this exploration drilling has helped to identify the longer term production potential of the Palito Complex.
“On the Sao Chico orebody we have concentrated on drilling the geophysical anomalies identified in 2016, and have intersected mineable grade and widths, which suggest a parallel ore zone. Drilling is continuing there.
“These ongoing drill programmes on both the Palito and Sao Chico orebodies are focussing on strike extensions of the main veins and are designed to provide the Company with organic growth opportunities. Serabi is also carrying out wider, regional exploration activities including both airborne and ground-based geophysical surveys and soil geochemical sampling.
“I look forward to updating the market on the continued progress of our exploration programmes in due course.”
PALITO OREBODY
The recent exploration drilling conducted at the Palito Operations has returned multiple high-grade gold intersections from a newly discovered pay shoot, on the G3 vein, located 200 metres to the south of the current Palito underground workings and only 800 metres from the northern limits of the Currutela Prospect.
These intersections reinforce the Company’s belief that the Palito orebody continues into the Currutela Prospect, where positive exploration results were reported from a drilling campaign conducted during 2011 and completed early in 2012. Both the new results and the historic results suggest the multiple veins of the Palito orebody continue south towards the multi-vein Currutela Prospect.
The new intersections returned along the G3 Structural Zone from the latest drilling campaign (further details of which are set out in Table 2 below) include;
- 2.0m @ 29.82 g/t Au and 1.2% Cu from 337.85m (PDD0557) including 1.3m @ 44.75 g/t Au
- 1.5m @ 8.08 g/t Au from 371.7m (PDD0534) including 0.89m @ 12.88 g/t Au.
- 0.65m @ 3.87 g/t Au from 290.83m (PDD0556)
- 2.0m @ 33.76 g/t Au from 76.75m (PDD0558) including 1.0m @ 64.63 g/t Au
These drill-holes formed part of a systematic step-out drill programme along the strike projection of the G3 structure south of the Palito Mine. The drill campaign has also been testing the strike projection of a number of the key lode structures being mined at Palito, including the Pipocas and Mogno veins as well as the G3 vein.
The Company has always felt there was strong potential for the continuity of the Palito ore zones to the Currutela prospect. Currutela was discovered in 2011 and the prospect itself covers an approximate strike length of one kilometre. Its northern most extent lies approximately one kilometre from southernmost point of the current Palito Mine, and during 2011-2012 broadly spaced drilling into the Currutela prospect and intermediate area towards the Palito Mine returned numerous significant intersections which are set out in Table 1 below:

- Hole PDD0470: As announced on 15 July 2011,
- Holes PDD0464 – PDD0472: Assay intercepts calculated based on a minimum weighted average grade of 0.5g/t Au using a 0.5g/t Au weighted average lower cut and a maximum internal waste interval of 1.2m. All assays were completed by EcoTech Laboratory using 30gm Fire Assay charge with an AAS analysis.
- Holes PDD0519 – PDD0526: As announced on 24 January 2012. Reported intercepts calculated based on a minimum weighted average grade of 0.5g/t Au using a 0.5g/t Au weighted average lower cut and a maximum internal waste interval of 1.2m based on ALS reported analyses. All assays completed by ALS used a 30gm Fire Assay charge with an AAS analysis. Where initial Au results exceed 10g/t, analysis is done with a gravimetric charge.
Despite the success of the 2011/12 drilling campaign, the Company has only now been in a position to follow up, and recent drilling has focused on a series of closer spaced drill traverses between Palito and Currutela.
On the Pipocas Vein a series of new drill traverses have been completed on strike projections of the vein. The results demonstrate that the vein structure has strong lateral continuity to the northwest, with multiple intersections having been reported. Mine development will now be undertaken along this strike extension.
Drilling of the Palito orebody and its potential extensions is continuing with further extension targets currently being pursued on the G3 plunge position and the Mogno Vein north-western strike position. Further drilling over the discoveries at the Piaui and Currutela prospects is also scheduled for later in the year.
The Palito trend has now been traced over a distance of approximately four kilometres extending from the Copper Hill discovery located to the north of to the southernmost extent of the Currutela prospect.
SAO CHICO OREBODY
At the Sao Chico orebody, exploration drilling commenced in mid May 2018. Drilling at Sao Chico is focussing on strike extensions of the Main Vein and potential parallel targets identified as geophysical induced polarisation (“IP”) anomalies in 2016.
Drilling is underway on the first of these anomalies, the Crossroads anomaly, and the initial drill holes have intersected promising sulphide and vein intersections. Whilst assay results on all holes completed to date are being awaited, initial results include an intersection of 1.35m at 12.02 g/t Au from 178.80m (18-SC-109) as set out in Table 3 below.
REGIONAL EXPLORATION ACTIVITY
Regional exploration activity has been undertaken in the form of both airborne and ground-based geophysical surveys. A 4,343 line-kilometre HeliTEM survey was completed in late July covering the balance of the Jardim do Ouro tenements (approximately 25,000 hectares) that were not covered in the 2008 and 2011 surveys. The Company expects the contractor to release the final collated survey data during September, following which Serabi will be able to work with its consultants on the interpretations.
A ground-based IP programme is also underway over the strike extensions of the Sao Chico orebody following the line-of-lode and extended to cover the five kilometre strike length of the structure.
Serabi has also completed, during August, a regional soil geochemical sampling programme over a number of previously identified geophysical and structural targets. Geochemical analyses of the samples are pending at this time.
Intercepts from the current drill program to date include:
