Terrain Minerals (ASX:TMX) completed an extensive 7,739-metre drilling program at its 100% owned Smokebush Gold-Silver Project, located 350km north of Perth, Western Australia.
The dual-method campaign, which commenced in November 2025, targeted the Lightning and Wildflower prospects to both extend known mineralisation and test high-priority discovery targets.
At the Lightning prospect, the company completed 26 reverse circulation holes totalling 4,803m.
The portion of the program focused heavily on extending known gold zones, which accounted for nearly 70% of the drilling.
Additionally, four diamond drill holes were completed for 660m to provide the critical geological density required for future resource estimation.
RC samples are currently at the laboratory, with results anticipated this month, while diamond core processing is underway with results expected in late April.
Simultaneously, drilling at Wildflower involved 13 RC holes for 2,276m.
The phase tested three new high-priority targets identified through large gold-in-soil anomalies and 800-metre-long induced polarisation targets.
The targets are geologically similar to the Lightning discovery, applying a proven exploration model to move towards new discoveries.
Terrain Minerals intends to release the Lightning RC assay results as soon as they are received, with the Diamond and Wildflower data to follow in subsequent market updates.
At the time of reporting, Terrain Minerals' share price was $0.0050.
