Goldman Along-strike growth, new southern structure and DHEM hits reinforce development potential
Torque Metals Limited (ASX:TOR) has reported further strong drill results from its Paris Gold Project, with extensional and DHEM-guided drilling continuing to expand the scale of the high-grade system.
The latest along-strike drilling returned a standout intercept of:
- 20m @ 5.8g/t gold from 222m, including
- 7m @ 13.5g/t gold from 225m (26PRC205)
The result supports continuity of high-grade mineralisation along strike and within the broader multi-lode system.
Torque said Paris is now confirmed as a multi-lode gold system with down-plunge continuity of at least ~700m below the 2024 Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE). Stacked lodes reach up to ~12m true thickness, with lateral extents of approximately 100–130m and down-dip extents of 50–80m, and remain open to the south and south-west.
High-grade at depth from DHEM targeting
DHEM-guided drilling has also returned high-grade mineralisation at depth, including:
- 5m @ 6.0g/t gold from 432m (~343m vertical depth) in 25PRC167
The company noted additional off-hole conductor plates extending mineralisation down-plunge and along strike (east–west), suggesting further growth potential beyond the current resource envelope.
New shallow mineralised structure south of Paris
Drilling south of the Paris Deposit has identified a new mineralised structure intersecting shallow oxide and transitional gold in a previously untested zone, including:
- 7m @ 1.8g/t gold from 41m (25PRC182)
- 5m @ 1.2g/t gold from 52m (25PRC184)
The new zone is located near existing infrastructure and forms part of the company’s broader multi-rig campaign, which is underway through CY2026.
Paris currently hosts a 250koz @ 3.1g/t gold MRE (RPEEE A$3,000/oz). Post-2024 MRE drilling has delivered multiple high-grade intersections beyond the existing resource envelope, highlighting potential for further growth ahead of the next update.

Cristian Moreno, Managing Director
These latest drilling results reinforce our interpretation of Paris as a scalable, multi-lode gold system rather than a single, narrow shoot. The standout intercept of 20 metres at 5.8 g/t gold, including 7 metres at 13.5 g/t gold, confirms strong along-strike continuity of high-grade mineralisation and supports our strategy of systematically increasing ounces per vertical metre within the existing resource framework.
The continued success of our DHEM-guided targeting is particularly encouraging. The intersection of high-grade mineralisation at more than 340 metres vertical depth, together with newly identified off-hole conductor plates, highlights clear potential for further extensions down-plunge and along strike beyond the current Mineral Resource envelope.
In addition, the identification of a new shallow mineralised structure south of the Paris Deposit introduces another growth front. The presence of oxide and transitional mineralisation near infrastructure is strategically important, particularly as we advance drilling under a multi-rig program toward the next Mineral Resource update and ongoing development studies.
