Bellevue Gold Strikes High-Grade Ore Vein at Deacon Deposit, Surpassing Estimates

Bellevue Gold has uncovered a vein of ore at its Deacon deposit in Western Australia, boasting exceptionally high grades that surpass initial resource estimates. This discovery echoes the characteristics of other high-grade pyrrhotite-bearing deposits historically mined nearby at the Bellevue load.

The Deacon deposit, one of the primary production zones within the Bellevue gold project, has yielded promising results. According to Bellevue's managing director, Darren Stralow, these findings resonate with the rich legacy of high-grade gold in compact structures historically associated with the Bellevue mine.

The latest infill drilling has exceeded expectations, showcasing grades that outstrip the initial resource estimates. This high-grade ore discovery promises to enhance the early stages of mining operations, ensuring robust production results as the project progresses towards full-scale production.

Furthermore, Bellevue is enthusiastic about the potential for additional discoveries along the Deacon shear, which presents multiple analogous targets for further exploration through underground drilling. To expedite this process, Bellevue is mobilizing additional resources, including another underground drill rig, to intensify infill drilling efforts at Deacon Main in pursuit of similar success.
