Unity Metals Intersects 70.4 Metres at 1.1 g/t Gold at O'Phlay
Unity Metals Limited has returned a broad gold intercept of 70.4 metres at 1.1 g/t gold from 195 metres downhole, including 15.4 metres at 1.8 g/t gold from 250 metres, at the O'Phlay Gold Project in Cambodia.
Drill hole 26DDCM005 also returned 9 metres at 0.5 g/t gold from 178 metres. These new intersections lie approximately 100 metres beneath the previously reported discovery hole and represent a continuation of a broad, gold-bearing zone of massive and stockwork quartz-arsenopyrite veins hosted in a diorite intrusion.
The drilling confirms that the mineralised zone extends from surface to a depth of at least 230 metres with an interpreted true width of roughly 45 to 50 metres. The zone dips steeply to the southeast, continues strongly at depth, and remains open.
Laterally, the mineralisation appears to strike to the northeast, aligning with a prominent northeast-trending magnetic high anomaly that extends for kilometres across the project area. The same structural trend has been measured in massive veins within drill core and surface outcrops exposed in historical mine workings.
Drilling to the northeast has encountered further extensions, with hole 26DDCM007 intersecting a broad zone of stockwork quartz-arsenopyrite veins over a true width of approximately 40 metres. Assay results for this hole are currently pending. Conversely, drilling to the southwest has narrowed, with hole 26DDCM006 intersecting only thin intervals.
The O'Phlay Gold Project is located 63 kilometres east-northeast of Unity's flagship Ngot Gold Project and Emerald Resources' Okvau Gold Mine in Cambodia. No modern drilling had ever been conducted at O'Phlay prior to Unity's recent exploration campaigns, despite evidence of historical open-pit and underground mining.
