22m @ 3.25g/t Au - Thick, High-Grade Gold in First Drilling by Meeka at Turnberry North
- Thick, high-grade gold intersections up to 22m @ 3.25g/t Au and 10m @ 6.03g/t Au
- Mineralisation extends beyond planned Stage 1 open pit, likely to expand Resource and Reserves
- Higher-grade zones in fresh rock below pit expected to grow underground production
Meeka Metals reported assays from initial drilling at the Turnberry North area of its Murchison Gold Project, which intersected broad zones of high-grade gold outside the planned Stage 1 open pit. Significant results include 22m @ 3.25g/t Au from 125m including 10m @ 6.03g/t Au, 36m @ 1.07g/t Au from 32m including 11m @ 1.94g/t Au, and 48m @ 1.26g/t Au from 117m including 17m @ 2.53g/t Au. These results are expected to expand the Turnberry North Mineral Resource and Ore Reserves, as the mineralisation extends beyond the current planned open pit. The higher-grade zones in fresh rock below the planned pit are also likely to grow underground production. Drilling is ongoing, targeting Resource growth areas to the central and southern parts of Turnberry, as well as follow-up in the northern area.
Upcoming activities include: September 2025 quarterly report, Andy Well underground mine development update, Andy Well surface and underground Resource growth drilling in Q4 2025, Turnberry surface Resource growth drilling in Q4 2025, and defining the pathway for Murchison process plant expansion in Q2 2026.
