  • Drill rig has been mobilised to the Cargelligo Project, the Achilles 3 gold
    base-metal target
  • Drilling commenced over the weekend
  • Aim is for 7 holes to be drilled for approximately 1,200 metres
  • This is AGC’s second of seven discovery focused Reverse Circulation
    (RC) drilling campaigns
  • Company is well-funded to deliver significant follow up drill programs
  • Australian Gold and Copper Ltd (ASX: AGC) (“AGC” or the “Company”) is pleased to
    announce the Reverse Circulation (RC) Rig has mobilised and started drilling at our Achilles
    3 gold and base-metal target at the Cargelligo Project.
    The targets at the Cargelligo licence (EL8968) which include Achilles 3, Achilles 2 and
    Mount Boorithumble, are located in the Southern Cobar Basin and have pre-discovery
    similarities to the Peak and Hera Gold Polymetallic mines. These Cargelligo targets are
    located south along strike from the Hera mine and the recent Federation discovery held by
    Aurelia Metals (ASX:AMI), see figure 1.
    AGC’s Managing Director Glen Diemar said: “With the success of our first program it was
    easy to keep the momentum going into this discovery focused drill program.”
    As per the ACG ASX prospectus lodged 18th November 2020, AGC’s near term plan is to
    move the rig as quickly as possible from target to target with RC drilling of seven near
    surface gold and copper targets.
