Brightstar says Laverton plant construction remains on schedule

Brightstar Resources said its Goldfields Project remains on schedule for first gold in June 2027 and is tracking within the approved budget. The company is constructing a 1.5Mtpa processing plant at Laverton.

Post-quarter-end drilling at Two Mile Hill returned a 305m intercept grading 1.33g/t gold from 584m in hole TMHDD26003. Brightstar said the intercept was within host tonalite and below the current 1.45Moz Mineral Resource.

Brightstar also entered a binding agreement with Panther Metals to acquire Panther's rights and interests in five exploration licences comprising the Mikado Project, along with related mining information, third-party agreements and associated assets.
