5,000m Tunkillia Growth Drilling Program Completed
Focus on Resources Growth in Parallel with Optimised Scoping Study
HIGHLIGHTS
Tunkillia: 5,064m reverse circulation (RC) drilling completed targeting extensions of block model to support JORC Mineral Resources Estimate (MRE) growth and an Optimised Scoping Study
Barton Gold Holdings Limited (ASX:BGD)(FRA:BGD3)(OTCQB:BGDFF) ( Barton or Company ) is pleased to confirm that 5,064m RC drilling metres have been completed at the Tunkillia Gold Project ( Tunkillia ).

During the past 6 months, Barton has grown Tunkillia to a 1.5Moz Au JORC MRE and published an Initial Scoping Study for ~130kozpa gold production with an all-in sustaining cost ( AISC ) of ~A$1,917/oz Au, a 40% equity internal rate of return ( Equity IRR ), and a 1.9 year payback period. 1 New Tunkillia drilling has targeted parallel lodes and depth extensions in areas where gold mineralisation has previously been intersected but not yet included in the MRE. Barton is targeting Tunkillia MRE growth and an increase in the overall project economics and life of mine through optimisation of key cost drivers.
Commenting on the Company's ongoing drilling programs, Barton MD Alexander Scanlon said:
"Barton is working non-stop to advance a long-term South Australian gold platform anchored by a competitive, large-scale asset. Tunkillia has demonstrated its attractiveness based on conservative assumptions relating to comminution design, power consumption, development schedule and procurement. The next few quarters will be exciting as we complete an Optimised Scoping Study, while turning our attention to identifying options for an initial 'Stage 1' operation which can leverage our existing Central Gawler Mill while we are permitting Tunkillia."
