Mawson Resources Limited announces further high-grade gold results from outcrop and mini-drill sampling at the Company's new East Rompas discovery. The recently discovered East Rompas prospect lies within Mawson's 100% owned Rompas-Rajapalot project in Northern Finland, 500 metres east of the 6 kilometre long Rompas high-grade gold vein system.
Initial discovery results from East Rompas were published October 11, 2017. Geological mapping, sampling, geophysics and drill planning is now being accelerated in response to the very positive results returned to date.
Exceptional new high-grade results from outcrop and mini-drill sampling include 2,375 g/t gold; 1,284 g/t gold; 642 g/t gold and 216 g/t gold (Table 1, Figures 1 and 2). Many of these samples contain abundant coarse visible gold.
Mr Hudson, Chairman & CEO states, "East Rompas is an exciting new discovery by the Mawson team, with the mineralized footprint now expanded to two semi-parallel zones over 750 metres of strike. Finding visible, high-grade gold at surface, in outcrop is rare, and the significance of discovering multiple outcrops with grades up to 2,375 g/t gold cannot be under-estimated. We are highly encouraged by the presence of gold in structural fabrics and the association with silicate and sulphidic alteration, that may indicate potential for disseminated gold mineralization. Geophysical crews are working at site and with the area fully permitted we plan to be drilling in early December."
The Rajapalot and Rompas exploration projects are Mawson’s flagship properties in Finnish Lapland. Both disseminated and nuggetty high-grade gold has been discovered within a camp-scale area over 10 sq. km.
