The 11.3m at 5.9gpt from 586m downhole reported today was 80m downdip of the discovery hole of 17.5m at 18.9gpt.
The intervals are believed to be close to true width.
Spartan has also reported further headline drill success at Never Never and the West Winds prospect.
“We keep applying drill pressure to good geology — and the results continue to demonstrate the enormous potential of the broader Gilbey’s mineral system, which now contains multiple high-grade, steeply plunging deposits and emerging prospects along an 800m corridor running from north to south,” Spartan managing director Simon Lawson told the market.
The mineral system is set to be probed in the future by a Spartan-approved underground exploration drive that will provide the optimum platform for an initially planned 60,000m of drill targeting.
Subject to the receipt of final regulatory approvals, work on excavating the underground drill drive will begin in the second half of the year, with diamond drilling designed to follow development as it progresses north and south.
Spartan last month announced an $80 million underwritten equity raising pricing new shares at 58c each to bankroll its work programs.
The company has a shuttered, near-brand-new, large-capacity processing plant at Dalgaranga after a failed mining venture overseen by previous management.
