Special Report: Northstone Resources is hitting its straps at Barje in Serbia, with fresh high-grade gold results reinforcing a key mineralised corridor as the company closes in on its maiden JORC resource estimate.

Notable assays from the latest batch of seven holes totalling 912m at Barje, which is part of the Tlamino gold-silver project in southern Serbia, are:

Northstone Resources (ASX:NRL) says the results complete reporting from the initial 33-hole infill program and include the first five holes from additional infill drilling completed since September.

Chief executive officer Max Piirto said BAR069 and BAR071 were drilled alongside the central corridor holes reported in September, with both returning thick mineralisation in the same position.

“That tells us the high-grade corridor holds up at closer spacing in an area where the 2021 resource model, working from sparse drilling, interpreted the mineralisation to pinch,” he added.

The three principal intervals in BAR069 are separated by narrow zones of less than 3m below the reporting threshold, indicating a mineralised envelope spanning more than 50m downhole.

Closer-spaced drilling adds support for continuity through an area where the 2021 resource estimate interpreted mineralisation to pinch.

In the northeastern zone, BAR070 intersected six stacked mineralised intervals between 31.4m and 106.1m downhole.
