Astral Resources intercepts gold below Theia resource shell

Astral Resources has reported significant gold mineralization at its Mandilla gold project near Kalgoorlie, Western Australia. Drilling from the Theia Deeps program has intercepted gold below the current April 2026 resource shell, suggesting potential for expanding the existing 1.4-million-ounce deposit.

Key assay results include 22 meters at 2.73 grams per tonne (g/t) gold from hole AMRCD375 and 5 meters at 4.14 g/t gold from hole AMRCD424. The drilling also identified high-grade intervals, such as a narrow 0.3-meter section grading 133 g/t gold.

Managing Director Marc Ducler stated that the program is confirming wide high-grade zones within the existing mineral resource shell while demonstrating growth potential at depth. The company is currently conducting a 21-hole, 11,000-meter program, with 15 holes completed to date, alongside a large reverse circulation infill drilling program for the planned Stage 1 open pit.
