 High grade results continue in Sandstone drilling
Key Points
  • Drilling at Indomitable East and Cork Tree Well deposits intersects high-grade gold mineralization
  • Indomitable East deposit remains open along strike and at depth, providing opportunity for future resource growth
  • Additional drilling rigs being mobilized to accelerate exploration across Menzies, Laverton and Sandstone hubs
Full Summary

Brightstar Resources has announced results from a further ~7,320m of RC drilling programs completed at the Indomitable East deposit, located within the Sandstone Hub, and the Cork Tree Well deposit, located within the Laverton Hub. The drilling programs aimed to infill and extend the mineralization within conceptual pit shells to support future mining studies and resource updates.Significant results from Indomitable East include 25m @ 1.67g/t Au from 90m, 3m @ 6.50g/t Au from 118m, and 14m @ 2.46g/t Au from 34m, highlighting the high-grade nature of the mineralization and demonstrating that it remains open along strike and at depth. The company plans to undertake further targeted deeper drilling to test these high-grade zones.At Cork Tree Well, drilling returned intercepts such as 3m @ 4.53g/t Au from 80m, 4m @ 7.84g/t Au from 101m, and 6m @ 4.37g/t Au from 92m, which will help to de-risk future mining operations in this area.Brightstar is mobilizing an additional three drilling rigs, including an RC rig, a surface diamond rig, and an underground diamond rig, to accelerate exploration and resource definition across its Menzies, Laverton and Sandstone project areas. This will include continued infill and extensional drilling at Menzies and at the company's operating Second Fortune and Fish underground mines to support mine life extensions.

Outlook

Brightstar is mobilizing additional drilling rigs to accelerate exploration and resource definition across its project areas, including continued infill and extensional drilling at Menzies and its operating underground mines to support mine life extensions.
