Dundas Minerals (ASX:DUN) has commenced a high-impact reverse circulation drilling program at its Rockland Gold Project, situated on Mining Lease M24/974 approximately 40km north of the historic mining hub of Kalgoorlie, Western Australia.
The latest exploration phase is designed to build upon the momentum of a successful discovery campaign in January 2025, which identified a 1-kilometre-long trend of gold mineralisation that remains open both along strike and at depth.
The current program consists of up to 15 RC holes, totalling approximately 2,500m.
The holes are positioned to test the strike and depth extensions of high-grade mineralisation confirmed in earlier rounds of drilling.Previous standout assay results have highlighted the project’s potential, including intersections such as 6m @ 3.3 g/t Au (including 1m @ 7.5 g/t Au) and a particularly high-grade hit of 2m @ 5.6 g/t Au which featured a 1m zone at 14.9 g/t Au.
Geological interpretations suggest that the mineralisation extends further north toward the Aquarius prospect, an area where previous Dundas drilling returned 3m @ 10.2 g/t Au.
Furthermore, the Rockland Project sits on a granted mining lease with no history of modern mining, offering a clear pathway for development.
Beyond Rockland, the drilling campaign provides a critical platform to advance infill and extensional work at the nearby Baden-Powell gold resource, which currently hosts 23,000 ounces of gold and remains open for further growth.
At the time of reporting, Dundas Minerals' share price was $0.048.
