Brightstar Resources Limited (ASX:BTR) has announced new results from the reverse circulation (RC) drilling programme at the Sandstone Hub. This area, located in East Murchison in Western Australia, currently hosts a Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) of 1.5Moz @1.5g/t Au.
The latest assay results come from multiple prospects across the Sandstone Project:
- Hacks West: Early-stage exploration RC drilling, testing beneath and proximal to shallow historical workings. Significant intercepts include:
- HKRC25003: 1m @ 38.3g/t Au from 46m
- HKRC25007: 4m @ 2.84g/t Au from 28m
- Havilah: Extensional RC drilling, drilled to follow up on a high-grade shoot, outside the current MRE. Significant intercepts include:
- HVRC25008: 4m @ 17.4g/t Au from 110m, including 1m @ 61.2g/t Au from 111m
- HVRC25007: 3m @ 4.12g/t Au from 157m
- Bulchina: First-pass exploration RC drilling programme, drill testing beneath significant gold intercepts in historical drilling up to 4km south of the Bulchina Mine, along strike to the south. Significant results include:
- BCRC25001: 11m @ 2.26g/t Au from 109m, including 1m @ 10.3g/t Au from 116m; 16m @ 0.98g/t Au from 140m
- BCRC25002: 3m @ 4.74g/t Au from 99m
- BCRC25008: 8m @ 2.52g/t Au from 46m
Following these results, Brightstar will continue to explore across the three hubs, as they look to grow the group MRE. Surface diamond drilling has started at the Fish Deposit and underground drilling is to follow. RC drilling will continue in the Sandstone Hub as well. The drill rig is currently at the Musketeer Deposit, finishing extensional drilling at depth outside of the current mineral resource. The company will be providing updates as they complete more segments.
