Southern Cross Gold consolidated reports outstanding drill results at Sunday Creek Project

Significant high-grade gold intervals expand mineralization footprint in Victoria, Australia.

Southern Cross Gold Consolidated has announced impressive results from eight diamond drill holes at its 100%-owned Sunday Creek gold-antimony project located in Victoria, Australia. The drill holes targeted the Rising Sun, Golden Dyke, and Christina prospects, confirming and extending high-grade mineralization.

Key highlights from the recent drilling campaign include:

• Hole SDDSC161 at Rising Sun returned the project’s second-best interval: 3.4 meters grading 466.4 grams per tonne (g/t) gold, including an ultra-high-grade core of 2.4 meters at 670.4 g/t gold.
• Exceptional individual assays from SDDSC161 include 4,700 g/t gold over 0.2 meters (the third highest assay on the project) and 1,510 g/t gold over 0.3 meters.
• Discovery of six new vein sets between Christina and Golden Dyke in hole SDDSC156, indicating the repeatability and expansion potential of mineralized structures.
• Depth extensions of high-grade zones confirmed in holes SDDSC155A and SDDSC157, intercepting mineralization 40 to 120 meters below previously reported levels.
• Expansion of high-grade gold equivalent intercepts: the project now boasts 64 intercepts exceeding 100 gram-meters AuEq and 72 intercepts between 50 to 100 gram-meters AuEq, underscoring robust grade distribution at depth.

Michael Hudson, President and CEO of Southern Cross Gold, emphasized the significance of the results: “These latest drill results continue to demonstrate the exceptional potential of our Sunday Creek discovery. SDDSC161 delivered our second highest interval ever drilled, showcasing remarkable high-grade mineralization. The presence of 4,700 g/t gold over 0.2 meters highlights the extraordinary grade potential within our Golden Ladder system.”

Hudson added, “Our drilling program is designed to both expand the project’s volume and de-risk known high-grade zones through confirming continuity. The discovery of six new vein sets in SDDSC156 substantially increases our mineralized volume, while down-dip extensions seen in SDDSC155A and SDDSC157 confirm the remarkable continuity of high-grade mineralization. These results affirm that our high-grade zones maintain continuity along strike and at depth, significantly reducing geological risk and expanding the scale of this promising system.”

The Company is currently processing assays from 24 additional drill holes, with eight more holes actively being drilled, as it continues its systematic expansion of the Sunday Creek mineralized footprint.
