Premier1's Gravity Surveys Target Rochefort Gold

0:00Welcome to Sydney News Today, two minutes of news that matter to Sydney. Premier One has kicked off high-resolution gravity surveys at its Abbott's North Gold project in Western Australia's Merchison region. The work targets the Rochefort prospect to better map structures and pinpoint drill sites. This comes as the area heats up with gold potential. Rochefort sits just 20 kilometers north of New Merchison Gold's Crown Prince project, valued at $700 million and already in production. The site features a strong gold and soil anomaly spanning 400 meters by 350 meters plus rock ships hitting up to 11 point. Seven grams per tonne gold. The prospect lies in the Abbott's Greenstone Belt, part of a corridor hosting Crown Prince's 277,000 ounces at three point. Eight grams per tonne, exploration manager Paul Smith, notes Rochefort, shows classic signs of a major gold system. Nearby historical mining pulled 41,000 ounces at 31 grams per tonne from shallow reefs,

The gravity data will speed up priority targets for first-ever drilling at Rochefort. Meanwhile, Premier One pushes forward with 3,700 meters of reverse circulation drilling at its Yalgu project southwest of the region, tapping into another under-explored gold belt.
