 Shallow, high-grade drilling results continue at Sandstone
Key Points
  • Further strong gold results from extensional and infill drilling at the 1.5Moz @ 1.5g/t Au Sandstone Gold Project
  • Significant, high-grade shallow intercepts from deposits including Musketeer, Indomitable East, Cessna, Lord Henry, and Duplex
  • Drilling results demonstrate potential for material resource growth at several deposits
Full Summary

Brightstar Resources has received further results from the ongoing RC drilling program at the 1.5Moz @ 1.5g/t Au Sandstone Gold Project, located in the East Murchison region of Western Australia. The drilling was completed as part of the ~100,000m drilling program underway, designed to significantly increase the size and quality of the existing Mineral Resource and underpin the Pre-Feasibility Study due for delivery in 2026. The drilling has returned significant, high-grade shallow intercepts from deposits including Musketeer, Indomitable East, Cessna, Lord Henry, and Duplex, demonstrating the potential for material resource growth at several of the deposits. Key highlights include 8m @ 4.50g/t Au from 95m at Musketeer, 26m @ 1.39g/t Au from 22m at Indomitable East, 6m @ 6.91g/t Au from 28m at Cessna, 3m @ 9.29g/t Au from 55m and 4m @ 19.3g/t Au from 98m at Lord Henry, and 2m @ 7.94g/t Au from 145m at Duplex. The results continue to justify Brightstar's confidence in the Sandstone project and indicate significant exploration upside across the tenement package. Following the completion of the Aurumin Limited merger, Brightstar will emerge with a substantial 2.4Moz @ 1.5g/t Au Mineral Resource in Sandstone, positioning the company well to advance the enlarged project area into development.

Outlook

The drill rigs have temporarily relocated to the Menzies and Laverton Hubs to drill exploration and resource definition programs, before recommencing at the Sandstone Hub in early September with approximately 100km of drilling planned in FY26.
