Drilling Underway at Forelands Gold Project, WA
- 3,000m, 25-hole RC drill program underway at high-grade Beachcomber Prospect
- Previous drilling delivered spectacular high-grade gold intercepts
- Soil sampling underway at additional prospects including Ambrosia, Sidecar and Brass Monkey
BPM Minerals Ltd (ASX: BPM) has commenced its maiden reverse circulation (RC) drilling program at the high-grade Beachcomber Prospect, part of the Forelands Gold Project in Western Australia. The 3,000m, 25-hole drill program is aimed at building on the spectacular high-grade gold intercepts previously returned from the Beachcomber prospect, including 3m @ 65.8g/t Au from 25m, 9.7m @ 4.5g/t Au from 88.8m, and 2m @ 4.73g/t Au to the end of hole. The Forelands Gold Project covers a district-scale, ~630 km² land position along the Yilgarn Craton-Albany Fraser Orogen margin, an analogous tectonic setting to the +8 Moz Tropicana gold deposit. In addition to the drilling at Beachcomber, the company has also commenced soil sampling programs at several other prospects within the project area, including Ambrosia, Sidecar, and Brass Monkey. Assay results from both the RC drilling and soil sampling programs are expected to be reported to the market in early 2026, with further exploration activities to recommence shortly thereafter.
BPM Minerals is well-funded to execute the Beachcomber drilling program and a pipeline of exciting exploration targets throughout 2026. Assay results from the drilling and soil sampling are expected in early 2026, with further exploration activities to recommence shortly thereafter.
