- The assays from the final 16 holes from the February 2021 RC drilling campaign at the Mt Dimer Mining Lease continues to deliver shallow, high-grade results with up to 23g/t gold & 33g/t silver – the best intercepts comprise:
- 8m @ 13.55g/t gold from 80m incl. 4m @ 23g/t gold from 80m (21MDRC017)
- 6m @ 7.07g/t gold & 6.93g/t silver from 45m Incl. 1m @ 22.90g/t gold from 49m (21MDRC025) – note: finished in mineralisation

- Bundling fresh and historical data, TSC’s geology team confirms there is now ample data to expedite the modelling of a JORC compliant resource for the Mt Dimer Mining Lease
- Concurrently, several members of TSC’s geology team are now at the adjacent Mt Dimer Exploration Lease, which is immediately west of the mining lease, progressing a comprehensive surface sampling program to identify incremental targets for test-drilling
CEO Simon Phillips commented: “Assessing the assays holistically verifies the integrity of legacy data and delivers clear evidence the Mt Dimer Mining Lease is a possible shallow, high-grade gold-silver system. As such, the Board’s next goal is to have the geology team model up a JORC compliant resource which will determine next steps for the Mt Dimer Mining Lease. Further, to continue building forward momentum, TSC’s geology team are now assessing the gold-silver potential of the Mt Dimer Exploration Lease.”
Twenty Seven Co. Limited (ASX: TSC) (“TSC” or “the Company”) is delighted the final assays from the February 2021 drilling campaign verified the integrity of legacy data and confirmed the Mt Dimer Mining Lease is a possible shallow, high-grade gold-silver system with up to 23 g/t gold & 33 g/t silver recorded.
HIGH-GRADE, SHALLOW GOLD-SILVER SYSTEM
To recap, the February 2021 RC drilling campaign comprised 26 drill-holes for a total of 3,367m. Looking at the results holistically, there is clear evidence the Mt Dimer Mining Lease is a possible high-grade, shallow gold-silver system. Moreover, the key insights from the campaign are:
- Gold-silver mineralisation was extended along strike and down dip;
- The geology team now have a comprehensive understanding of the deposit’s geochemical signature, while the underlying structural setting is starting to become more apparent; and
- There is now ample current and historical data to commence modelling up a JORC compliant resource.
The best intercepts from the assays received to date and historically include:
-
- 8m @ 13.55g/t gold from 80m incl. 4m @ 23g/t gold from 80m (21MDRC017)
- 6m @ 7.07g/t gold & 6.93g/t silver from 45m Incl. 1m @ 22.90g/t gold from 49m (21MDRC025) – note: finished in mineralisation
- 1m @ 6.93g/t gold & 16.5g/t silver from 111m (21MDRC023)
- 14m @ 0.53g/t gold & 1.56g/t silver from 14m (21MDRC022)

Ongoing Exploration and Next Steps
With the assays now complete, the immediate priority is for the geology team to digest the results then commence building up a JORC compliant resource.
In addition, with a comprehensive soil sampling program over the adjacent exploration license to the west of the mining lease now underway, report on findings as they materialise.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT
- Historical exploration results reported in this announcement are based on data reported in historical reports rather than data that has been produced by Twenty Seven Co. Limited;
- Historical exploration results have not been reported in accordance with the JORC Code 2012;
- A Competent Person has not done sufficient work to disclose the historical exploration work in accordance with JORC 2012;
- It is possible that following further evaluation and/or exploration work that the confidence in the historical exploration results may be reduced when reported under JORC Code 2012;
- Nothing has come to the attention of the acquirer that causes it to question the accuracy or reliability of the former owners’ historical exploration results, but
- The acquirer has not independently validated the former owners’ historical exploration results and therefore is not to be regarded as reporting, adopting or endorsing those historical results.
