Southern Cross Gold's furiously drilling campaign across its Sunday Creek gold project outside Melbourne in Victoria targeting what could be the ‘next Fosterville' are seeing the jigsaw pieces keep falling into place, with the company continuing to strike gold beyond previous work.

After two years of drilling under its own steam following its spin-out from Canadian explorer Mawson Gold, Southern Cross Gold has calculated a maiden exploration target for a sliver of its flagship Sunday Creek Gold project in Victoria.

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.
