Dahmu Reef continues to grow at Burbanks

  Barra Resources has intersected further high grade gold mineralisation associated with the newly discovered Dahmu Reef at its 100% owned Burbanks Gold Project, located 8km south west of Coolgardie, Western Australia.The Dahmu Reef is a virgin discovery with no associated historical mine workings. The latest results comprise 2.0m grading 25.3 grams per tonne (g/t gold), 2.0m grading 21.5g/t gold, 2.0m grading 11.8g/t gold, 3.0m grading 7.4g/t gold and 2.1m grading 8.3g/t gold. All are associated with intense biotite alteration, abundant quartz veining, and sulphides.Dean Goodwin, the company’s managing director, said that these new results confirm Dahmu’s consistent high grade nature and 2m to 3m true width in areas immediately above and below the recent strike drive development on the 330 level. Drilling also indicates the true width increases to 6m below the 295 level. Mr Goodwin said that the interpretation of structural data from all the drilling carried out to date suggests a 30 to 50 degree northerly plunge and steep east dip, similar in orientation to the historically mined Jesson Reef which produced in excess of 110,000 ounces of gold. Current drilling indicates a strike length in excess of 140m.Dahmu is currently open along strike to the north and at depth up and down plunge. A major attraction to Dahmu is its very close proximity to existing mine infrastructure allowing it to be exploited with minimal development. Several other repetitions of this style of mineralisation have been intersected in recent underground decline development on the 265 level east of Dahmu. The significance of these structures is currently being assessed by Barra’s geologists
