"Mineralisation in fresh rock is hosted by fine grained micro-diorite to amphibolite, as compared to granodiorite gneiss at the Rebecca, Duchess and Duke deposits, and this potentially opens new exploration fronts to the south, and in other under-explored parts of the project," Apollo said.
"Mineralisation is also notably present in the shallow oxidised profile, which is unusual for the project area."
Meanwhile, drilling is continuing at the mainstay 775,000 ounce Rebecca deposit.
