Gold confirmed in 8 of 9 holes at Mt Turner - ICYMI

Core Viewpoint - Lightning Minerals Ltd has confirmed significant gold mineralisation at its Mt Turner project, marking a successful phase one drilling campaign and indicating a target-rich environment for future exploration [1][5][6]. Drilling Results - Gold mineralisation was confirmed in eight out of nine drill holes along the Drummer Fault, with notable intersections of high-grade gold and base metals like zinc [1][6]. - The known mineralised strike has been extended to 12.00 kilometres, with high-grade samples including one result of 22 grams per tonne gold recorded approximately 2.50 kilometres west of Pit 6 [2][6]. Project Potential - The Mt Turner project hosts multiple mineral systems, including copper porphyry, base metals, and gold, indicating a diverse exploration opportunity [2][6]. - Historical mining activities from the 1980s and 1990s have already suggested the region's potential, with six pits now included in the exploration focus [3][8]. Future Plans - A phase two drilling campaign is planned, prioritising targets based on recent soil and rock chip data, with Pit 3 and Pit SA likely to be the starting points [4][9]. - Approximately 20% of phase two drilling will be dedicated to Wildcat targets, focusing on areas with strong structural indicators and positive geochemical results [4][10]. Company Focus - Mt Turner has quickly become the core focus for Lightning Minerals, providing a strong platform for further exploration into 2026 [5][10]. - The company aims to build a resource based on the promising results from the initial drilling and ongoing exploration efforts [3][6].
