 Exceptional High-Grade Gold Returned in Sandstone Drilling
Key Points
  • Drilling at Musketeer deposit returns bonanza intercept of 10m @ 43.8g/t Au, including 1m @ 356g/t Au
  • Deposit remains open at depth, with step-out drilling increasing known extent of mineralisation
  • Panning of drill spoil recovers numerous gold nuggets and coarse visible gold
Full Summary

Brightstar Resources has received further results from the ongoing +80,000m drilling program at the 1.5Moz at 1.5 g/t Au Sandstone Hub, located in the East Murchison region of Western Australia. Significant high-grade, shallow assay results from reverse circulation (RC) drilling targeting infill and extensional resource drilling at the Indomitable Camp include a bonanza intercept of 10m @ 43.8g/t Au from 36m, including 1m @ 356g/t Au from 37m in INRC25073. Panning of the drill spoil from this interval recovered numerous gold nuggets and coarse visible gold. The infill drilling has highlighted the strong continuity of gold mineralization within the deposit, while the extensional drilling has returned high-grade results demonstrating that the deposit remains open at depth below the current mineral resource. Brightstar's Managing Director commented that the latest results are extremely exciting, as the Musketeer deposit hosts a relatively modest current resource of 59koz at 1.3g/t gold, but it remains open at depth and along strike, with the program intersecting stunning high grades. Work is already underway with follow-up programs planned to delineate the high-grade shoots and drill further step-out holes at depth, targeting meaningful resource growth.

Outlook

Brightstar will provide regular news flow in the coming weeks as drilling continues at the Sandstone Hub. A second RC rig has also recently arrived on site at the Fish Mine in the Laverton Hub, where it will drill pre-collar holes in preparation for a diamond rig to test for depth extensions.
