Key Points
  • Assays received for remaining 4 diamond drill holes at Sybil, including high-grade intervals
  • 12 of 14 drilled holes contained significant (>1g/t Au) mineralisation
  • Native title clearance surveys underway, paving way for drilling in early 2026
Full Summary

Sunshine Metals Limited has received final assay results for the first diamond drilling program at Sybil (100% owned), part of the Ravenswood Consolidated Project, near Charters Towers in north Queensland. The program targeted low-sulphidation epithermal gold mineralisation and was the first at Francis Creek in around 20 years. Significant gold has been returned in 12 out of 14 holes, including 4.5m @ 17.23g/t Au, 1.5m @ 2.91g/t Au, and 2.4m @ 3.55g/t Au. The results have been incorporated into an updated geological interpretation, confirming the steeply north-dipping A Vein and identifying additional exploration targets. Native title clearance surveys are underway at Francis Creek, Francis Creek East and Blue Range, paving the way for further drilling in early 2026. A heli-borne magnetic survey will also commence in November-December 2025 to support future drill targeting.

Outlook

Exploration is ongoing at Sybil with heritage clearances and magnetic surveys in preparation for further drilling in early 2026. Gold-focused drilling is set to recommence at Liontown to bring shallow mineralisation to mining readiness.
