Tambourah Metals has commenced a diamond drilling campaign at the Beatty Park South prospect in Western Australia to test depth extensions of high-grade gold mineralization. The program, supported by up to $180,000 in WA government funding, aims to provide structural data to guide future exploration.
Leeuwin Metals has confirmed gold presence in the historic Butcher Bird tailings at its Marda project in Western Australia via auger sampling. The results (0.60g/t Au average) suggest a potential low-cost processing opportunity to supplement the project's existing 11.4Mt gold resource.
Tomahawk Metals is preparing for an AIM listing following a pivot to gold and antimony assets in Australia and Slovakia. The company recently reported a high-grade gold rock-chip intercept of 44.85 g/t at its Saturn licence in Western Australia.
Nexus Minerals has reported a 108% increase in the Wallbrook Gold Project Mineral Resource, bringing the total to 631,000 ounces of gold. The company also completed an A$5.4 million placement to fund ongoing exploration and upcoming diamond drilling programs in Western Australia.
Tambourah Metals has completed 17 RC holes at the Tambourah King prospect, reducing drill spacing to 20-30m. The drilling returned several high-grade gold intercepts, including 4m at 3.59 g/t Au, intended to support a planned maiden resource estimate.
Astral Resources (ASX:AAR) is developing gold projects south of Kalgoorlie, including the flagship Mandilla project. A Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS) at Mandilla reports a pre-tax NPV of $2.9 billion and an AISC of $2,148/oz, supported by recent high-grade drilling at the Theia Deeps target.
Resources and Energy Group (ASX:REZ) reported high-grade gold drill results from its Maranoa prospect, part of the East Menzies gold project in Western Australia. Highlights included intercepts such as 2m at 15.84g/t gold and 4m at 10.38g/t gold, which confirmed continuity of mineralization and validated the geological model. The Maranoa prospect currently hosts a modest inferred resource of 46,000 tonnes at 5.7g/t gold for 8,000 ounces.
Pilbara Gold Limited has reported high-grade drilling results from the Terra Prospect at its Roe Hills Gold Project in Western Australia. The results highlight mineralisation and are expected to support further exploration drilling to determine the project's potential as a future mineral resource.
Western Gold Resources has released an expanded scoping study for the Gold Duke project, increasing the production target to 1.11Mt at 1.7g/t Au (59,700oz Au). The expanded plan utilizes 18 open pits and relies on 82% Measured and Indicated resources, though production timing depends on the restart of the Wiluna Processing Plant.
