Moonlight Resources has initiated exploration activities in central Queensland. The company first launched a 3,000-metre reverse-circulation drilling program at the Peak Downs copper prospect near Clermont to validate historical high-grade copper intercepts and assess the potential for a JORC-compliant resource.

Following this, Moonlight Resources commenced a targeted four-hole, 500-metre diamond drilling program at its Leo Grande gold prospect. This subsequent phase is intended to provide oriented core for geological modelling and metallurgical testwork to support a forthcoming maiden mineral resource estimate.
