Southern Cross Gold has struck high-grade gold and antimony over a wide zone measuring over 119 metres at its Victorian project.

Southern Cross has uncovered a spectacular prize at its Sunday Creek project after drilling returned a 119.2m intersection grading 3.9g/t gold equivalent in a previously untested area.

Freehold ownership secures surface access for the company and provides sufficient area for any potential future gold operation.

Sunday Creek General Manager Lisa Gibbons says, the Melbourne Zone, where the Sunday Creek project is located, is underexplored compared to other old goldfields in Australia.

Southern Cross Gold has kept its pre-IPO promise of delivering results quickly after listing, with more multiple high-grade gold and antimony assays returned from drilling at Sunday Creek.

Southern Cross Gold general manager Lisa Gibbons has been recognised for her exceptional work in the mining industry at the 2022 Victorian Women in Resources Awards.
