Western Australia gold projects move toward production as Minerals 260 and Gateway Mining expand drilling

Minerals 260 has entered the next phase of its Bullabulling gold project in Western Australia, aiming to deliver its first gold by late 2028. The company plans to grow the 6.2‑million‑ounce mineral resource estimate through wide‑spaced reverse‑circulation drilling between the Kraken and Endeavour deposits, infill work at Endeavour and additional auger drilling north of the Dicksons deposit. Managing director Luke McFadyen said the recent 15‑month drilling programme has markedly improved understanding of the Bullabulling mineral system and will guide the move toward operational readiness.

Gateway Mining has launched a large‑scale soil‑sampling campaign at its Glenburgh South project in the Gascoyne region, seeking a repeat of the tier‑1 Glenburgh discovery made by neighbour Benz Mining. More than 2,400 samples will be collected across the Errabiddy and Northern Shear corridors, covering up to 50 km of prospective strike identified by a recent high‑resolution magnetic survey. CEO Richard Pugh highlighted the potential for the new program to create a significant gold camp similar to the Benz find.
