Western Australia gold drilling developments
Entities: Critica Limited · Yandal gold project · Gateway Mining · Barkly Rare Earths · Western Australia
Overview
Gold drilling activity in Western Australia continues to accelerate. Gateway Mining confirmed that air‑core drilling at its Cowza prospect has now extended continuous mineralisation to a 3.5‑km strike, reporting a 4‑metre intercept grading 11.1 g/t Au from 72 m depth. To further test the system the company is deploying a second reverse‑circulation rig.
Kalgoorlie Gold Mining has also begun reverse‑circulation drilling at its Lighthorse prospect, planning up to 19 holes covering roughly 3,200 m to delineate the northern extension of the gold system.
These programs build on earlier high‑grade results from Ramelius Resources, Forrestania Resources, and Gateway Mining’s earlier Cowza work, underscoring ongoing confidence in the region’s high‑grade gold potential.
