Barton Gold (ASX: BGD) managing director Alexander Scanlon joins Small Caps to discuss the recent drilling successes at the historic Tunkillia gold project in South Australia.

The company obtained consistent high-grade gold hits, including the sighting of visible gold, in two areas where it is looking to add to the current 1.38 million ounce JORC resource.

Earlier this month Barton obtained promising drilling results for the Area 51 gold zone, located around 4km northwest of the main 223 deposit area.

New work at Area 51, the fifth new gold zone Barton had confirmed within this radius during the past 2 years, has extended mineralisation to over 700m, with a significant ‘core zone’ identified.

At Area 191 Barton is unveiling an emerging high-grade resource target with the highest-grade assays yet obtained at Tunkillia.

Notably the potential high-grade system is located just to the northeast of the current JORC resource.

Previously drilled by Barton in August 2021, the Area 191 gold zone currently extends around 250m to 300m in width and approximately 650m in strike length.

Barton is now undertaking an infill drilling campaign at Area 191 to further validate the results from previous campaigns.
