New RC drilling extends primary gold at Lighthorse
- Extensive, primary, orogenic gold mineralisation intersected in fresh rock at Lighthorse
- Gold mineralisation extends over 1,100 m of strike, up from 600 m previously
- Confirms near-surface aircore anomalism is sourced from primary gold mineralisation at depth
Kalgoorlie Gold Mining Limited (KAL.ASX) has reported strong results from its RC drilling program at the Lighthorse Prospect, where the latest RC drilling nearly doubles the strike extent of primary gold mineralisation. The mineralised system now extends over 1,100 m of strike, up from less than 600 m in KalGold's initial RC program at Lighthorse. The mineralisation remains open to the north. The results validate earlier aircore drilling, which defined an approximately 1,600-metre-long near-surface gold anomaly, and demonstrate that this anomalism is sourced from a primary gold system at depth. The drilling has intersected extensive, primary, orogenic gold mineralisation in fresh rock, with gold mineralisation directly associated with extensive shearing, alteration, sulphide mineralisation, and veining logged in intervals up to 35 m thick. The new drilling confirms that the Lighthorse system is larger than previously outlined, with primary gold mineralisation now defined over 1,100 m of strike and remaining open to the north. KalGold is planning further RC drilling early in 2026, including both infill and extensional drilling at Lighthorse to further define the distribution of gold mineralisation. Step-out drilling to the north will target the continuation of gold mineralisation along the SAM magnetometric conductivity ridge that correlates very well with the gold mineralised structure.
