Tempest Expands Sanity Gold Anomaly at Yalgoo Project
Konrad Forrest
21 May 2025 | Mt Hawthorn, WA – Tempest Minerals (ASX:TEM) has significantly expanded the surface footprint of its Sanity gold anomaly at the Yalgoo Project in Western Australia, following results from a tighter-spaced geochemical sampling program.
Soil sampling on a 100m x 100m grid returned up to 294ppb gold, outlining a stronger and more coherent anomaly adjacent to historical mine workings. The Sanity prospect continues to build as a compelling target for future drilling.
Key Highlights:
-
Peak soil value: 294ppb Au, with a strong gold-silver geochemical correlation
-
Rock chips nearby returned up to 7g/t gold, 0.2% copper, and >60% iron
-
Geophysical data highlights a coincident magnetic anomaly and structural distortion
-
Over 200 samples define a robust multi-element geochemical anomaly
Next Steps:
-
Assess results within regional geological context
-
Advance approvals and develop geological models
-
Plan for drilling and further mapping, geophysics, and sampling
Managing Director Don Smith commented:
“The expansion of the Sanity anomaly adds weight to the prospectivity of the Yalgoo Project. This is a clear example of our data-driven approach delivering strong regional targets ready for drill testing.”
Tempest controls more than 1,000km² in the Yalgoo region, and Sanity joins a growing list of prospects alongside the 2024 Remorse magnetite discovery.
