Astral Resources Confirm Kamperman Potential from Further RC Drill Results

THE DRILL SERGEANT: Astral Resources (ASX: AAR) reported assay results from recently conducted RC drilling at the Kamperman prospect within the company’s 100 per cent-owned Feysville gold project near Kalgoorlie in Western Australia.

Astral Resources received assay results for the final three holes from what was a 26-hole RC infill and extensional drilling program at the Kamperman prospect that included:

FRC350
10 metres at 5.04 grams per tonne gold from 99m; and

FRC360
32 metres at 2.13g/t gold from 125m.

The company explained the in-fill drilling results continue to support its interpretation of a very continuous, steeply west-dipping, zone of high-grade gold mineralisation in the southern part of the deposit.

A maiden Mineral Resources Estimate (MRE) for Kamperman is scheduled to be reported in the September Quarter as part of an updated MRE for the broader Feysville gold project.

Feysville already hosts an MRE of 3 million tonnes at 1.3g/t gold for 116,000 ounces of contained gold at the Think Big deposit, which Astral considers being a foundation for the project to potentially become a source of satellite ore feed for a future operation based on its nearby Mandilla gold project.

“We had already considered this 26-hole drill program to be the most successful program completed to date at Kamperman, and when you include these final three holes – we are now certain of it!” Astral Resources managing director Marc Ducler exclaimed in the company’s ASX announcement.

“These latest results strengthen our geological interpretation of a broad, 30-metre-wide zone of consistent high-grade gold mineralisation across multiple sections in the southern part of the Kamperman deposit.

“This bodes well for the upcoming maiden Mineral Resource Estimate for Kamperman as part of the wider Feysville gold project.

“The exploration focus has now returned to the Theia deposit, the cornerstone of our flagship Mandilla gold project, where the first phase of a new infill RC drilling program commenced early this month.

“On completion of the phase one program, Astral will return to Feysville for further in-fill and extensional RC drilling at Kamperman, as well as follow up on two significant greenfield gold anomalies announced in July 2024 to the north-west of Kamperman.”
