More Strong, Shallow RC Gold Hits Expand Bluetooth
- Solstice's emerging Bluetooth Gold Prospect continues to grow with strong gold intercepts
- Multiple new thick, near-surface intercepts including 32m @ 1.68g/t Au, 16m @ 1.49g/t Au, and 12m @ 1.29g/t Au
- Results strengthen Bluetooth as one of Solstice's recent discoveries within the Yarri Gold Project
Solstice Minerals Limited (ASX: SLS) is pleased to report results from its third phase of RC drilling at the advanced Bluetooth Gold Prospect, located within the Company's Yarri Gold Project NE of Kalgoorlie in Western Australia. The program comprised 15 RC holes for 1,278m and was designed to build on the strong gold intercepts returned in Solstice's earlier drilling at Bluetooth, as well as widely spaced historical drillholes at the Prospect. This latest round of drilling continues to reinforce the commercial potential of this gold system, with multiple significant new gold intercepts returned in four metre composite samples, including: 32m @ 1.68g/t Au from 48m in BTHRC045, 16m @ 1.49g/t Au from 41m in BTHRC036, 12m @ 1.29g/t Au from 58m in BTHRC037, 8m @ 1.44g/t Au from 40m in BTHRC043, and 8m @ 1.36g/t Au to end of hole (EOH) from 88m in BTHRC039. Drill intercepts are interpreted to be close to true width and map out shallow east-dipping zones of oxide gold mineralisation extending over a strike length of at least 800m. Additionally, an intercept of 8m @ 1.36g/t Au at end of hole in BTHRC039 associated with chert and quartz veining in the fresh rock profile is evidence that the gold mineralisation at Bluetooth extends down-dip below the base of oxidation. Solstice's team is preparing for further drilling at Bluetooth to increase near-surface drill density and carry out further drill tests for underlying fresh-rock mineralisation, both of which will ultimately allow initial Mineral Resource Estimation work to be undertaken.
Solstice anticipates steady activities and newsflow through the remainder of 2025 and into 2026, including further drilling at Bluetooth to increase near-surface drill density and test for underlying fresh-rock mineralisation, as well as the commencement of the first stage of RC drilling at the Company's advanced Nanadie Copper Gold Project.
