Operations
Products and/or services of Astral Resources
- Flagship Deposit Drilling: Undertakes reverse circulation, diamond, and infill drilling operations at core gold deposit areas in Western Australia, aiming to expand existing mineral resources and evaluate near-surface gold mineralization potential across multiple prospective geological structures.
- Feasibility Study Engineering: Executes definitive feasibility studies, engineering assessments, and environmental impact evaluations to progress flagship gold properties toward potential commercial development, mine planning, infrastructure design, and regulatory approval frameworks in Australia.
- Regional Satellite Exploration: Conducts targeted exploration, geochemistry, and geophysical survey programs across satellite tenements near Kalgoorlie to discover high-grade gold mineralization capable of supplying prospective regional gold processing infrastructure.
- Extensional Exploration Drilling: Deploys RC and diamond drilling rigs along strike and at depth around established resource boundaries to test structural corridors, extend known mineralized zones, and convert inferred resources into higher-confidence categories.
- Sterilisation and Infill Drilling: Executes targeted sterilisation drilling to ensure proposed infrastructure locations are free of mineralisation while performing detailed infill drilling to increase geological confidence and support reserve estimation modeling.
- Metallurgical and Geotechnical Testing: Performs metallurgical core sampling, recovery testing, and geotechnical rock characterization to optimize gold extraction circuit design, process flowsheets, open-pit wall stability parameters, and mine safety configurations.
