Pure Resources (ASX:PR1) has announced an extensive exploration campaign to test gold targets within its Yundamindra Project in the Eastern Goldfields, Western Australia.
Pure Resources has identified significant gold potential following a review of previous auger drilling, which initially targeted nickel.
The planned drilling program will cover up to 5,000m, focusing on gold anomalies detected within the tenure.
Neighbouring exploration by Arika Resources (ASX:ARI) has provided encouraging insights, with exceptional gold intercepts noted at the Pennyweight Point prospect, located 17km northwest of Pure's scope.
In 2022, auger drilling delineated multiple gold-in-soil anomalies, with peak assays reaching 172ppb gold and multiple samples exceeding 50ppb, signalling high anomalous values.
Pure has secured approval for the drilling program and is completing heritage surveys in collaboration with the Native Title Party.
"Following the review of the auger data, in unison with mapping and prospecting information, the Company believes there is significant potential within the Project to host gold mineralisation," said Patric Glovac, Executive Chairman of Pure Resources.
The drilling campaign aims to target structural intersections associated with surficial gold anomalism, leveraging the geological understanding gained from recent mapping and prospecting activities.
Pure Resources is an ASX-listed exploration company. The company's projects include the Laforge Lithium Project, Mount Monger Project, Yandal Project and Yundamindra Project.
