Northern Zone Gold Modelling
and Project Update
Oracle Power PLC (AIM:ORCP), an
international project developer, is pleased to announce an update
from its Northern Zone Intrusive Hosted Gold Project ("Northern
Zone Project" or the "Project").
Overview
· Drill results from
the recently completed 1,545m drill programme have been compiled
and integrated into an updated Leapfrog gold mineralisation model
(see Figure 1).
· The dynamic
Leapfrog model will now be used to inform and guide future drilling
campaigns as the Northern Zone Project matures and grows towards a
maiden Mineral Resource Estimate.
· The continuation
of the high-grade oxide zone within the 600m wide porphyry system
has been further expanded and is open in multiple directions (see
Figure 2).
· The results of
these drill holes continue to confirm and enlarge the shallow gold
mineralisation associated with the Northern Zone intrusive
porphyry.
· Possible ore
processing scenarios have been demonstrated by the recent success
of Black Cat Syndicate Ltd, at the Myhree open pit, located only
7km to the north of Northern Zone.
· Mining Lease
application expected to be submitted early next week to the
Department of Mines Energy Industry Regulation and Safety (DEMIRS),
along with the mineralisation report compliance document
Naheed Memon, CEO of Oracle, commented:
"As illustrated
in the Leapfrog figures within this announcement, the
mineralisation envelope and footprint continues to grow, with the
3D Leapfrog model being used to refine areas for the next round of
drilling. The drilling which has been targeting higher grade
shallow gold mineralisation, may lead to these areas being the
future focus of reverse circulation and diamond drilling below the
higher-grade oxide gold mineralisation to expedite the Project
towards a maiden Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE). We are encouraged
by the recent success of Black Cat's Myhree open pit
operations[1] only 7km up the road from
the Northern Zone Project and we are assessing if similar
operations can be achieved with the Northern Zone Project after we
convert the tenement to a Mining Lease. The compliance
mineralisation report required for the application is nearing
completion and we expect will be lodged early next
week."
Further Information
The Leapfrog model (Figures 1 and 2)
indicates that the mineralisation envelope and footprint continue
to grow, with the 3-dimensional (3D) Leapfrog model being used to
refine areas for the next round of drilling. The drilling, which
has been targeting higher grade shallow gold mineralisation, may
lead to these areas being the future focus of reverse circulation
and diamond drilling below the higher-grade oxide gold
mineralisation. Gold mineralisation remains open in multiple
directions and will require further modelling and drill testing as
the Northern Zone Project matures. The Company will continue to
further its understanding, in conjunction with its potential JV
partner, Riversgold Limited, of the Project before proceeding with
a maiden Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE).

software model. The interpretation illustrates gold grade shells,
derived from all the significant intercepts announced to date. The
model is constrained via a 25m buffer to all the drill hole traces
that have been drilled at Northern Zone Project since 2021. Refer
to Figure 2 Drill collar plan for the location of the section
line.
Figure 2: Plan view of Leapfrog software model. The
interpretation illustrates gold grade shells, derived from all the
significant intercepts announced to date. The figure illustrates
the position of the cross-section in Figure 1 and the location of
the significant intercepts reported from the most recent AC
drilling programme. There are multiple areas that remain undrilled
as noted on the diagram, with mineralisation yet to be
confirmed.
