Red Mountain Mining (ASX:RMX) launches extensive sampling program at Kiabye Gold Project

Red Mountain Mining has initiated soil and rock chip sampling at the Kiabye Gold Project in Western Australia.

The program aims to target historical gold sites and geophysical anomalies, with a total of 658 soil samples and additional rock chip samples planned.

The sampling will focus on both historical gold results and geophysical targets that have not yet been examined.

Among the key areas is Kiabye South, where historical shallow drilling had previously identified promising gold values.

The collected samples will be analysed by fire assay for rocks and gold and base metals for soils at Intertek Genalysis in Perth.

The company expects assay results to be available by early October. Red Mountain Mining's CEO, John Smith, commented, "This sampling program underpins our commitment to expanding our gold-focused portfolio in high-potential areas. The data we gather will be invaluable in planning subsequent drilling operations."

The Kiabye Gold Project features four exploration licenses spanning a central section of the Kiabye Greenstone Belt.

Historical exploration in the area primarily focused on base metals, leaving significant opportunity for gold exploration, which Red Mountain Mining aims to capitalise on.

Additionally, the Kiabye Project aligns with the company's broader strategy to diversify and expand its gold exploration activities, complementing ongoing efforts at the Flicka Lake Gold Project in Canada.

Red Mountain Mining is an ASX-listed mineral exploration and development company. It has a portfolio of critical minerals including gold, lithium, rare earth and base metal projects, located in Canada, the United States and Australia.
