HIGH-GRADE HITS ACROSS THREE PROJECTS

Strong gold intercepts returned from British Hill, Mt Palmer and Johnson Range drilling programs

Forrestania Resources Ltd (ASX:FRS) has reported high-grade gold intercepts from recent drilling campaigns across its British Hill, Mt Palmer and Johnson Range projects in Western Australia.

Across the three projects, the company completed extensive reverse circulation (RC) and diamond drilling programs, delivering multiple high-grade results that continue to enhance geological understanding and support future resource growth.

At British Hill, 10 holes for 2,906 metres returned several notable intercepts, including:

  • 9 metres @ 2.60 g/t gold from 78 metres, including 1 metre @ 11.97 g/t gold
  • 4 metres @ 2.24 g/t gold from 102 metres
  • 2 metres @ 5.82 g/t gold from 120 metres

At Mt Palmer, 36 RC holes for 2,392 metres highlighted shallow high-grade mineralisation, including:

  • 6 metres @ 7.60 g/t gold from 3 metres, including 1 metre @ 19.67 g/t gold
  • 7 metres @ 2.62 g/t gold from 26 metres
  • 18 metres @ 1.90 g/t gold from surface

Johnson Range delivered some of the strongest results, with 48 holes drilled for 4,344 metres. Key intercepts included:

  • 7 metres @ 11.63 g/t gold from 17 metres, including 4 metres @ 19.73 g/t gold
  • 7 metres @ 6.79 g/t gold from 135 metres, including 1 metre @ 18.86 g/t gold
  • 2 metres @ 9.23 g/t gold from 39 metres

The company noted that further assay results are pending from both Mt Palmer and Johnson Range, while ongoing drilling continues at the Lady Lila and Gibraltar gold projects.

Forrestania Resources’ Chairman David Geraghty commented:

Being able to update the market on three separate projects at the same time is a testament to the work being delivered by the Forrestania team in the field and our laboratory partners.

By methodically and systematically undertaking smaller, continuous drill programs across the portfolio, we are able to operate in an efficient and cost-effective manner while maintaining exploration momentum. These encouraging results are improving our understanding of the geology and metallurgy across each project and support the next phase of drilling, as we move with intent to increase the size and potential of the British Hill, Johnson Range and Mt Palmer Mineral Resource Estimates.

Importantly, all three projects are located on granted Mining Leases, with two in close proximity to the Lake Johnston processing facility, positioning Forrestania well as we advance toward development.
