Western Yilgarn (ASX:WYX) has bolstered its portfolio after being granted three core exploration licences—E09/2986, E09/2987, and E09/2988—by the WA Mines Department.
Spanning over 201km², these projects are situated in the highly prospective Gascoyne Gold District, positioned immediately south of the established Glenburgh Gold Project.
Geological assessments indicate that Western Yilgarn’s new tenements share a near-identical structural framework with the neighbouring Glenburgh deposits.
Both are hosted within the Dalgaringa Supersuite and are influenced by the same regional shear corridors.
Licences E09/2986 and E09/2987 sit just 11km from Benz Mining Corp’s substantial 510,000-ounce gold resource.
The proximity is bolstered by geophysical signatures that mirror those known to vector into high-grade mineralisation at the Benz site.
In August 2025, a comprehensive review of historical airborne magnetic, radiometric, and gravity data was conducted by Core Geophysics.
The analysis identified multiple untested drill targets and extensive structural trends that remain unexplored within the Dalgaringa Supersuite.
Western Yilgarn Non-Executive Director Pedro Kastellorizos expressed optimism regarding the "outstanding potential" of the project, noting that the host lithologies extend over a strike length of 50km.
