Zenith fills 600m gold gap with 14-for-14 drilling success in WA
All 14 holes at Zenith's Dulcie Central target in WA have found gold, with the best hitting 7.75 grams per tonne.
Zenith Minerals is testing a 600-metre gap between two existing gold deposits at its Consolidated Dulcie project in Western Australia. Every hole drilled so far at the central target has hit gold, a 100 per cent strike rate the company says backs its theory of a continuous mineralisation system.
The strongest result came in at 7.75 grams per tonne gold across three metres, and a six-metre section graded 4.14 grams per tonne. Assays are still pending on 10 more holes from the same critical gap zone.
If the final results hold strong, the company could stitch the Dulcie North and Dulcie deposits into one much larger orebody and declare a maiden mineral resource for the area.

Why it mattersGold success in the gap zone could drive a major resource upgrade at an already well-endowed WA project, potentially adding value for investors in the junior miner.
