The Phase 1 CY2025 drilling programme is now underway, scheduled to comprise of 389 holes for approximately 35,000m, incorporating a mix of air core, RC and diamond core drilling. This drilling programme has a dual purpose: to grow the existing Mineral Resource at Minyari Dome and test greenfield targets to deliver new discoveries across the broader 4,060km2 Minyari Project.

GROWTH DRILLING PROGRAMME

The growth drilling component of the programme targets further expansions to the existing near-surface Minyari Dome Mineral Resource and will consist of 57 RC holes for 13,000m and four diamond core holes for 1,500m. 

Drilling will focus on extending the resources at Minyari South, the GEO-01 combined 1km x 700m opportunity footprint at the Main Zone, Minella, Fiama and Central gold deposits. All of these deposits currently remain open down-dip and in some cases along strike.

DISCOVERY DRILLING PROGRAMME 

The discovery drilling portion of the programme is scheduled to comprise 328 holes for approximately 20,400m, including 288 air core holes (14,400m) and 40 RC holes (6,000m).

Parklands

A highly compelling gold target located just 10km northeast of Telfer. Parklands is defined by a large, continuous strong gold and pathfinder surface geochemical anomaly extending 3.0km long by 1.5km wide under shallow (<20m) cover. It has a peak surface geochemical lag result of 1.52 g/t gold, with multiple results greater than 0.1 g/t gold.

AL01

A primarily gold-focused 5km-long target located 17km north of the Minyari deposit. Previous broad-spaced air core scout drilling programmes confirmed gold mineralisation under shallow (1 to 65cm) cover. AL01 possesses extensive mineral system pathfinder anomalism, including Cu, Co, Bi, Te, Mo, Pb and Zn.

Reaper-Poblano-Serrano (RPS) Trend

The RPS trend represents a very large-scale gold-copper-silver target located 35km north of Minyari. Limited, broad-spaced drilling conducted over 2019 and 2020 previously defined a 2.0km long, 500-metre-wide corridor hosting significant high-grade gold-copper-silver mineralisation, remaining open in most directions. Multiple highly prospective dolerite and metasediment contacts, including possible fold noses, remain untested.

PP-GRAV02

A large-scale gold-copper target covering an area of approximately 1.7km x 1.6km with shallow cover ranging between 30 to 50m. PP-GRAV02 is located 10km west-southwest of the Minyari Deposit. Historic RAB holes previously defined a +400m wide zone of low-grade gold mineralisation across a fault disrupted mafic intrusive-metasediment contact region, including 4m at 0.10 g/t gold.
