Gorilla Gold Mines (ASX:GG8) has recommenced a major multi-rig drilling campaign across its key Western Australian gold projects, reporting high-grade extensional assay results that continue to grow the Mulwarrie Gold Project.
Drilling resumed in early January with two rigs operating at Mulwarrie and three at Comet Vale, following results from late-2025 extensional diamond drilling outside the current 350,000oz at 3.6g/t Au mineral resource estimate.
Intercepts at Mulwarrie included 3.4m at 12.5g/t Au from 350.6m, 6.2m at 2.2g/t Au from 280.6m and a shallow 3m at 4.2g/t Au, extending mineralisation up to 50m down-dip and reinforcing the scale and continuity of the multi-lode system.
Mulwarrie hosts stacked lodes across a 200–300m width and at least 2.5km of strike, remains open along strike, and is located on granted mining leases just 10km from the Davyhurst Mill.
In parallel with drilling aimed at a significant resource upgrade in 2026, Gorilla has commenced engineering, geotechnical and metallurgical studies to advance Mulwarrie toward development, while drilling at Comet Vale is supporting both exploration growth of its 0.86Moz resource and re-development activities, alongside a review of opportunities at the Vivien project.
At the time of reporting, Gorilla Gold Mines' share price was $0.52.
