Southern Cross Gold (ASX:SXG) has confirmed the economic potential of its Sunday Creek project, thanks to a successful initial metallurgical test program.

EXTENSIONAL drilling at Southern Cross Gold’s Rising Sun prospect, targeting a single vein set, has delivered more bonanza-grade gold, and one of the best results to date.

Southern Cross drills its best hole to date in SDDSC082, a ‘spectacularly long and high-grade intersection of gold-antimony mineralisation’ Shares are up 64% since the start of September as the company continues its mission to tap into the underexplored potential of Victoria’s Goldfields

The historical Sunday Creek gold field, just 60km outside Melbourne, continues to show all the hallmarks of a large epizonal discovery that, with persistence, might someday rank alongside Costerfield and Fosterville.

Southern Cross Gold has drilled a new record intersection of gold and antimony mineralisation at its 100%-owned Sunday Creek project in Victoria.

Since the middle of last year Mike Hudson has steered the ship at Southern Cross Gold, hoping to make a discovery in the style of the legendary Fosterville gold mine across 20,000 hectares of exploration ground known as the Sunday Creek project.
