St Barbara (ASX:SBM) received anomalous gold results from the hand auger soil sampling program at southwest Tatau Island, Papua New Guinea, extending gold-in-soil anomalies to an area covering 7.3 square kilometers, according to a Friday filing with the Australian bourse.
Gold rock chip samples from the Mt Siro-Seraror area and Mt Tiro area showed high-grade gold values of up to 22.5 parts per million gold and 2.39 parts per million gold, respectively, the filing said.
Proposed further work at the project includes a follow-up extension to the soil sampling program as well as further trenching and reverse circulation drilling, per the filing.
