Brightstar Resources (ASX:BTR) has provided a progress update on its flagship Sandstone Gold Project in Western Australia, advancing its two-year strategic plan to establish a district-scale, long-life production hub.
Following the acquisition of Aurumin in December 2025, Brightstar now controls over 4.0Moz of mineral resources across its Sandstone and Goldfields hubs, completing its M&A consolidation strategy and shifting focus entirely to operational delivery and project development.
Three drilling rigs are being mobilised to Sandstone to commence 2026 infill and extensional drilling, with 19km of infill drilling expected to be completed this March quarter for inclusion in the pre-feasibility study, targeted for delivery in early September.
Sandstone hosts a total mineral resource of 2.4Moz at 1.5g/t Au, including 1.6Moz within 150m of surface, supporting predominantly open pit mining.
