7 October 2025 | Perth, WA – Minerals 260 (ASX: MI6) has reported another strong set of assays from ongoing drilling at the Bullabulling Gold Project (25km west of Coolgardie), further supporting an upgrade to the current 2.3Moz Mineral Resource in December 2025.

Results from 73 holes (16,415m) include standout intercepts at Bacchus such as

• 10m @ 7.0g/t Au from 204m (BBRC0261),
• 7m @ 8.8g/t Au from 135m (BBRC0263),
• 32m @ 1.6g/t Au from 33m (BBDD0032) and
• 3m @ 14.9g/t Au from 25.6m (BBDD0035).

At Phoenix, new extensional hits include

• 4m @ 11.2g/t Au from 282m (incl. 1m @ 38.4g/t from 284m) in BBRC0286,

while infill at Kraken delivered

• 15.3m @ 1.7g/t Au from 31.4m (BBDD0040) and
• 7.4m @ 1.8g/t Au from 244m (BBDD0041).

The program continues to confirm continuous, multi-lode mineralisation along Bullabulling’s 8.5km strike, with shallow higher-grade zones emerging in and beneath existing pit shells—particularly along the Bacchus footwall shear—which could enhance early mine schedule grades. Around 90,000m of drilling will feed the updated MRE due early December 2025, with the remaining ~20,000m to be incorporated into a further update in 2026. Pre-Feasibility Study activities are advancing in parallel, with geotechnical and metallurgical drilling completed and testwork underway. Minerals 260 says the results reinforce the robustness and growth potential of Bullabulling as it progresses both resource conversion (to Indicated for Ore Reserve work) and depth/strike extensions across Bacchus, Phoenix and Kraken.

“Our infill and extensional drilling is consistently delivering strong results… the latest thick and shallow higher-grade intercepts provide further support for a MRE upgrade in December. Our development studies are advancing rapidly… geotechnical and metallurgical drilling for the PFS and the commencement of metallurgical test work represents a significant value-adding and de-risking event for the Project.” — Luke McFadyen, Managing Director.

6 October 2025 | Subiaco, WA – Leeuwin Metals (ASX: LM1) has reported shallow, high-grade gold intercepts from its maiden RC program at the Evanston prospect, part of the Marda Gold Project in Western Australia, marking the first large-scale drilling at Evanston in more than 20 years. Initial assays include 9m @ 5.23g/t Au from 57m (incl. 4m @ 10.68g/t from 60m) in MGRC0041, 8m @ 6.05g/t Au from 12m in MGRC0035, and 11m @ 3.12g/t Au from 85m (incl. 6m @ 4.88g/t) in MGRC0042. A recently completed down-hole EM (DHEM) survey has also identified a new conductor down-dip, pointing to potential repeating structures and further upside.

The company says mineralisation at Evanston is shallow, stratiform and sulphide-associated, hosted within laminated cherts (with interbedded mafic amphibolites and ultramafics) and controlled by open, large-scale folding. The deposit geometry is characterised by a shallow southwest-plunging anticline over ~1.6km of strike, with gently dipping lenses situated close to surface—so reported intercepts are considered close to true widths. Mineralisation remains open along strike and down-dip.

Leeuwin has assays pending for 31 additional RC holes from the program, with drilling scheduled to resume later this quarter. Results from Evanston and other prospects across Marda will feed into a maiden Mineral Resource estimate targeted before year-end. Near-term work includes expanded DHEM, follow-up drilling of down-dip and along-strike extensions, ongoing resource modelling, and prospect reviews to build a pipeline of structurally prospective targets across the broader project area.

6 October 2025 | Coolgardie, WA – Horizon Minerals (ASX: HRZ) has reported a series of standout high-grade gold intercepts from Phase 1 infill diamond drilling at the Burbanks Gold Project, 9km south of Coolgardie, reinforcing resource continuity and supporting near-term development studies.

Highlights (first 15 holes, Phase 1 ~15,000m):
• 1.55m @ 99.65g/t Au from 336.3m (incl. 0.37m @ 350.00g/t) and 3.69m @ 5.13g/t Au from 222.4m in 25HBBD004
• 4.00m @ 12.75g/t Au from 366.1m in 25HBBD002
• 1.00m @ 31.63g/t Au from 106m in 25HBBD005
• 1.00m @ 19.84g/t Au from 285m in 25HBBD013

The program—part of a broader 30,000m two-phase drill campaign—targets the Main Lode, Burbanks North and Birthday Gift areas to convert Inferred to Indicated resources and feed into Ore Reserve and mine planning. Phase 1 (45 holes) has completed 18 holes for 5,223m; a second rig has been mobilised to accelerate completion by December 2025, with all Phase 1 assays expected by the March 2026 quarter and an updated Mineral Resource targeted for the June 2026 quarter.

Burbanks’ strong production pedigree (324koz @ 22.7g/t Au historically) sits alongside a current JORC Mineral Resource of 6.1Mt @ 2.4g/t Au for 466koz. Today’s results confirm extensions beneath historic workings and along strike at Burbanks North.

Managing Director & CEO Grant Haywood said the “spectacular high-grade intersections” underscore the orebody’s quality and the opportunity to deliver improved resource confidence that can provide high-grade feed to Horizon’s 100%-owned Black Swan processing plant.

Next steps: Phase 1 completion and MRE update as above; Phase 2 extensional drilling (~15,000m) scheduled to commence early 2026 to grow the resource base along strike and down dip of known high-grade lodes.

3 October 2025 | West Perth, WA – Gorilla Gold (ASX:GG8) has reported new high-grade extensional assays outside the August 350koz @ 3.6g/t Au Mineral Resource Estimate at its Mulwarrie Gold Project, reinforcing large-scale growth potential ahead of a multi-rig drilling program starting November 2025.

Fresh results include 13.2m @ 8.5g/t Au from 359.0m (MWEX041), drilled 50m down-dip of the current resource and ~100m along strike of prior hits, and 5.0m @ 2.5g/t Au from 187.0m (MWEX004). These build on recent step-outs not included in the August MRE, such as 4.2m @ 54.0g/t Au from 334.3m (MWEX046), 5.3m @ 13.0g/t Au from 210.5m (MWEX080), 7.8m @ 5.0g/t Au from 490.8m (MWEX081) and 1.6m @ 18.6g/t Au from 130.5m (MWEX052).

Mineralisation at Mulwarrie is now defined over 2.5km of strike and to ~500m depth, with multiple stacked lodes open along strike and at depth. A resource update is targeted for Q4 2025, with metallurgy indicating up to 96% gold recovery (including up to 45% by gravity), and favourable geotechnical characteristics observed in historical pits. Mulwarrie sits on granted Mining Leases, close to multiple toll-treatment options — ~10km from the Davyhurst Mill and ~60km from Comet Vale, where four rigs are currently operating toward a significant MRE upgrade in Q4 2025.

The November growth program at Mulwarrie aims to at least double the current resource base while step-outs target down-dip and along-strike extensions highlighted by the latest results.

30 September 2025 | West Perth, WA – Antipa Minerals (ASX:AZY) has reported standout assays from resource definition and discovery drilling at its 100%-owned Minyari Gold-Copper Project in the Paterson, including 12m @ 16.7g/t Au & 0.13% Cu from 143m (incl. 1m @ 176.5g/t Au & 1.0% Cu) and 18m @ 2.7g/t Au & 0.49% Cu from 275m.

Further results confirm broad, continuous mineralised zones across Minyari and WACA, such as 31.8m @ 1.5g/t Au & 0.53% Cu from 109.2m, 30.0m @ 1.1g/t Au from 24.5m, and at WACA 69m @ 0.8g/t Au & 0.11% Cu from 133m plus 30m @ 1.0g/t Au from 232m.

Aircore drilling north of Minyari continues to outline large, shallow gold-copper anomalies along the Reaper–Poblano–Serrano (RPS) trend and AL01, including 82m @ 0.2g/t Au from 8m (with 20m @ 0.5g/t from 66m) and 8m @ 0.4g/t Au from 28m (incl. 4m @ 0.7g/t), with anomalies now extending for ~6km combined strike.

Antipa has completed Phase 1 (307 holes for 35,948m) with most assays received, and is advancing PFS resource definition drilling (17,516m of ~20,000m complete) while rolling into Phase 2 discovery drilling (25,000–35,000m) targeting RPS, AL01 and near-mine corridors such as Chicane. An updated Mineral Resource is scheduled for October 2025 alongside ongoing PFS workstreams.

Managing Director Roger Mason said the results “further highlight Minyari as a high-quality gold-copper system of scale,” adding that the combination of exceptional grades at Minyari, strong hits at WACA/GEO-01, and new anomalies to the north “provide a strong foundation for the upcoming Mineral Resource update and the PFS.”
 

25 September 2025 | Perth, WA – Odyssey Gold (ASX: ODY) has outlined a new mineralised vein ~50m west of the current Cable Mineral Resource at its Tuckanarra Gold Project, with fresh RC results highlighting shallow, high-grade potential inside existing pit shells.

Key results – Cable West hanging-wall (new structure)

• 20m @ 7.1g/t Au from 47m, including 10m @ 12.9g/t from 54m (CBRC0199)
• 7m @ 2.0g/t from 36m (CBRC0202)
• 11m @ 0.7g/t from 34m (CBRC0197)
• Previously in this program: 7m @ 2.2g/t from 15m (CBRC0175)
• The structure is now traced over ~300m (150m in new RC plus ~150m south in historical AC/RAB). Portions sit within current pit optimisations, offering near-term growth options.

Cable infill – supporting the resource upgrade

• 22m @ 2.8g/t from 6m (CBRC0179)
• 9m @ 4.7g/t from 44m, including 2m @ 18.6g/t (CBRC0177)
• 15m @ 2.3g/t from 38m (CBRC0182)
• 11m @ 2.3g/t from 111m (CBRC0193)

Executive Director Matt Syme said the result west of the existing MRE “highlights the potential to find additional shallow resources within the existing optimisations and to grow the footprint of mineralisation west towards the historic Trilby Mine.” Follow-up work will target the 1km-long Trilby–Anchor vein corridor parallel to Cable–Bollard–Highway.

Context & next steps

• Cable MRE: 0.69Mt @ 2.3g/t Au for 123koz; Tuckanarra global MRE: 5.14Mt @ 2.5g/t for 407koz (including 2.25Mt @ 3.9g/t for 283koz >2.0g/t).
• More RC assays are pending. Planning is underway to infill Highway, Bollard, Cable and Maybelle to Indicated, and to systematically test the Anchor–Trilby structures for additional shallow resources.

22 September 2025 | West Perth, WA – Yandal Resources (ASX:YRL) has confirmed a new primary gold discovery at the Arrakis prospect within the Caladan target area, reporting 54m @ 1.2g/t Au from 108m to end-of-hole in RC hole 25IWBRC0040, including 24m @ 2.1g/t Au from 138m to EOH and 8m @ 4.7g/t Au from 154m to EOH. A second hole, 25IWBRC0041, returned 6m @ 1.1g/t Au from 180m to EOH. The results are the first from a seven-hole, 1,374m RC program testing beneath broad aircore anomalism along a >2.2km mineralised trend.

Yandal says the RC program confirms fresh-rock mineralisation with an apparent sub-vertical geometry, demonstrating down-dip continuity below earlier aircore intercepts and suggesting gold depletion in the weathered profile relative to broader zones now seen in fresh rock. The company interprets Arrakis as a large-scale mineralised system that remains open along strike and at depth.

Managing Director Chris Oorschot said the fresh-rock hits represent “a significant milestone in de-risking and progressing exploration targets,” adding that “the discovery potential is substantial when you consider the scale of the trend and the limited and broadly spaced nature of current drilling.”

Next steps: Results from the remaining five RC holes are expected in the coming weeks. Yandal is planning to re-enter and extend 25IWBRC0041 with diamond drilling, and to step-out with RC on 200m-spaced lines to test the Arrakis trend to the north-west and south-east. Heritage surveys completed and scheduled through September will open up additional drill positions across Caladan.

Arrakis lies within Yandal’s Ironstone Well–Barwidgee Project, about 60km south of Jundee and 18km north of the Siona discovery, in the Yandal Greenstone Belt.

22 September 2025 | Mt Isa, QLD – Carnaby Resources (ASX:CNB) has reported a very high-grade hit from its first exploration hole at Trek 1 (Trekelano): 7m @ 9.3% CuEq from 415m, including 5m @ 12.5% CuEq, confirming a ~150m down-plunge extension to the historical orebody. The intersection lies outside the current MRE and remains open at depth and along strike; a diamond tail is underway to probe further down-plunge, with another RC hole testing up-plunge.

Trek 1 was mined underground between 1911–1943 to ~245m depth at an average 10.9% Cu and 2g/t Au. Current work streams feed into the Greater Duchess PFS (H2 CY2025), supported by binding tolling/offtake with Glencore. The Trekelano MRE stands at 5.2Mt @ 1.6% CuEq, including the Trek 1 Inferred component of 1.5Mt @ 2.0% CuEq; Carnaby is advancing geotech, metallurgy and resource drilling to update and re-classify.

MD Rob Watkins called the result “material” and “game changing,” noting the broader Trekelano system remains under-explored with strong scope for growth along the mineralised shear corridors.

22 September 2025 | West Musgrave, WA – Terra Metals (ASX:TM1) has intersected a 58m-thick titano-magnetite reef from 132–190m in hole SWRC008 at the newly defined Southwest Prospect within the Dante Project—its thickest reef interval to date and an early win from the company’s Phase 3 drill program. The intercept sits inside a corridor where 5.2km of new reef strike has recently been mapped. Assays are pending (approx. six weeks).

Three rigs (two RC, one diamond) are now operating, with multiple high-priority targets still to test across the Southwest area and broader Jameson Layered Intrusion. Terra notes less than 10% of total strike has been drilled so far, following the recent 148Mt maiden MRE, and says the system shows potential for Cu–Au–PGM–Ni–Co–V–Ti mineralisation alongside the vanadiferous magnetite reefs.

CEO Thomas Line said the result “is an outstanding achievement… and a clear validation of our exploration strategy,” adding that strong institutional backing from a recent $15m placement enables the company to accelerate drilling and metallurgical work.

19 September 2025 | West Perth, WA – Catalina Resources (ASX:CTN) has confirmed both gold and rare earth element (REE) mineralisation at its Laverton Project, with maiden RC drilling near Mt Weld intersecting significant TREO zones alongside multi-element pathfinders typical of granite-related gold systems in the Eastern Goldfields.

Key RC results (REE):

• LVRC04: 12m @ 5,828 ppm TREO from 64m, incl. 4m @ 1.19% TREO from 68m; plus 4m @ 804 ppm from 56m and 16m @ 1,425 ppm from 44m.
• LVRC05: 12m @ 2,398 ppm TREO from 20m; 8m @ 2,137 ppm from 24m; 8m @ 1,935 ppm from 52m; plus multiple 1,500–4,400 ppm intervals.

Gold system confirmed:

• Structurally hosted, high-temperature hydrothermal signature with anomalous Sb–W–As–Bi–Mo–Sc, consistent with mineralising systems seen at Wallaby, Granny Smith and Sunrise Dam (by geochemical fingerprint, not scale).
• Previously reported hits include 18m @ 1.16 g/t Au from 127m (incl. 3m @ 3.41 g/t Au) in LVRC02, and aircore 28m @ 1.09 g/t Au from 57m (LVAC049).

Geology & metallurgy
REE anomalism occurs in a flat-lying saprolitic clay horizon beneath ~15–20m of cover, strengthening the case for Mt Weld intrusive influence. Catalina will submit samples to ANSTO for metallurgical test work and has integrated portable XRF REE screening into ongoing gold drilling.

Management comment
Executive Director Ross Cotton said the results “reinforce the quality of the ground,” adding that while gold remains the focus, REE enrichment “adds an additional dimension of opportunity” for shareholders.

Next steps

• Extensional gold RC drilling now in progress across priority structures.
• REE test work (ANSTO) to assess recoveries and processing routes.
• Continued integration of multi-element geochem + geophysics to refine targets.
