(ASX:MYG) ("Mutiny"), operator and optionee of Redhill's wholly owned Gullewa Copper-Gold Project, has informed Redhill of significant new high-grade gold intersections generated from the West Lode of its Deflector Gold Deposit.

Deflector Diamond Drill Results

A diamond drill program of 30 holes was carried out with the intension of increasing potential resource within the proposed area of initial underground mining at the Deflector Deposit.

Notable intersections include:

  • 3.6m @ 153g/t Au and 13.3% Cu from 145m in 11DD1A;
  • 12m @ 3.4g/t Au and <0.1% Cu from 262m in 11DD04;
  • 3m @ 47.6g/t Au and 1.5% Cu from 249m in 11DD15;
  • 4m @ 17.4g/t Au and 1.2% Cu from 300m in 11DD16A;
  • 3m @ 22.8g/t Au and 1.2% Cu from 282m in 11DD17;
  • 3m @ 18.1g/t Au and 0.3% Cu from 292m in 11DD17;
  • 3m @ 18.8g/t Au and 0.8% Cu from 316m in 11DD18;
  • 6m @ 20.9g/t Au and 0.3% Cu from 255m in 11DD27; and
  • 4m @ 6.2g/t Au and 0.5% Cu from 308m in 11DD29.
