Zenith Minerals (ASX:ZNC) has commenced a high-impact drilling programme at its Dulcie to Grow Project, aiming to build upon its substantial mineral resource of 21.6 Mt at 1.0 g/t Au for 675,000 ounces.
The latest exploration phase comprises approximately eight reverse circulation holes totalling 1,350m.
The primary objective is the rapid conversion of known mineralisation into additional ounces, alongside a focused effort to achieve significant grade uplift across key zones.
The campaign is strategically segmented across several high-priority targets.
At Dulcie South, crews are testing down-dip extensions and closing gaps in the current resource model to improve continuity.
Simultaneously, the Scott’s Grey area will see five RC holes designed to expand high-margin zones and increase the overall grade profile.
Perhaps most ambitious is the work on M77/599, where Zenith is testing a critical one-kilometre strike gap.
Successfully linking the mineralised corridors could provide a transformative boost to the project’s total resource scale.
Beyond immediate resource growth, Zenith is eyeing district-scale potential.
Recent geological surveys have identified multiple parallel shear zones extending over 19km of strike.
To capitalise on this, the company is re-assaying extensive lithium drilling datasets for gold, providing a cost-effective pathway for rapid target generation.
At the time of reporting, Zenith Minerals’ share price was $0.073.
