Larvotto Resources (ASX: LRV) has extended high-grade gold, antimony and tungsten mineralisation over more than 700m of strike at its Freehold deposit in New South Wales, strengthening its potential as an additional mining centre within the Hillgrove project.
The company has received final assays from its completed 31-hole, 7893m diamond drilling program, which has approximately doubled the known strike extent of the historical Freehold mining area.
Mineralisation remains open to the south and at depth, providing further exploration opportunities.
Standout results include 10m at 9.61g/t gold equivalent (AuEq) from 526m, including 4m at 19.91g/t AuEq, and 9m at 8.05g/t AuEq from 105m, including 4.4m at 13.53g/t AuEq.
Additional intersections returned 2.4m at 10.37g/t AuEq and 1.5m at 18.94g/t AuEq.
High-grade tungsten mineralisation was also identified, including 1.5m at 1.95 per cent tungsten trioxide (WO₃) from 16m.
The drilling has extended the main Freehold and Freehold East structures, identified shallow unworked mineralisation and confirmed additional high-grade lodes west of the historical mine.
Larvotto managing director Ron Heeks said the results had substantially improved the company’s geological understanding of Freehold.
“The standout intersection in FRE042 demonstrates the potential for high-grade shoots to continue down-plunge within the broader Freehold structure,” Heeks said.
“Importantly, the results also identify shallow unworked mineralisation and additional high-grade structures outside the main historical mine area.”
Located just 1.2km from the Hillgrove processing plant, Freehold offers potential operational advantages should further exploration support future mining.
The completed program also provides a stronger geological framework for targeting high-grade plunging shoots and extensions beneath historical workings.
The results strengthen Larvotto’s case for Freehold to become another source of gold, antimony and tungsten mineralisation within its wholly owned Hillgrove project.
