Diablo Resources’ (ASX:DBO) Star Range Silver-Antimony Project has increased its operational footprint.
The company recently announced the staking of 52 additional unpatented lode claims, extending the project's reach along the high-priority North Star prospect mineralised trend.
The expansion adds approximately 1,000m of strike length, bringing the total interpreted mineralised trend to a substantial 4,000m, signaling massive district-scale potential.
Recent exploration efforts have yielded exceptional surface results, with high-grade rock samples confirming a rich multi-metallic profile.
Assay results include staggering silver grades reaching 3,043 g/t Ag, complemented by significant concentrations of Antimony (0.7% Sb) and Copper (2.6% Cu).
The surface samples directly overlie the STAR01 priority geophysical target, suggesting a strong synergy between surface geochemistry and underlying geological structures.
CEO Lyle Thorne emphasised that this expansion aligns with the US government's strategic mandate to secure domestic sources of critical minerals.
"The addition of these claims highlights the effectiveness of our recent exploration," Thorne stated, noting that soil sampling and mapping are already underway on the new ground.
At the time of reporting, Diablo Resources' share price was $0.025.
