Full summary
Argent Minerals Limited (ASX: ARD) has initiated its maiden drilling campaign at its 100%-owned Trunkey Creek Gold Project, located approximately 9km southeast of its flagship Kempfield Project in New South Wales. This drilling program represents the culmination of a progressive exploration initiative, transforming Trunkey from an historic goldfield into a series of modern, drill-ready targets. The first phase of drilling is designed to test a priority target in the north of the 4.7 km gold-mineralised structural corridor, the historic Wilson's Reef. Historic records indicate that mining ceased due to high groundwater inflow rather than the exhaustion of gold-bearing structures, suggesting significant potential remains to be explored. Further updates will be provided as drilling progresses, and the company looks forward to reporting the results of this first systematic test of the Trunkey goldfield as they are received.
