Golden Horse Minerals (ASX: GHM) has commenced an expanded exploration campaign at its wholly owned Southern Cross Gold Project in Western Australia, with more than 125,000m of reverse circulation and diamond drilling planned across 2026—more than triple the metres drilled in 2025.
Three contractor drill rigs have mobilised safely to site, with initial drilling focused on the flagship Hopes Hill Project, where historic mining produced approximately 216,000 ounces of gold.
The program includes around 105km of RC and 23km of DD drilling, supported by augur and air core drilling, regional mapping and sampling, and a concurrent aeromagnetic survey over key tenements.
Golden Horse said the campaign will target near-mine and regional prospects across the highly prospective Southern Cross Greenstone Belt, while parallel technical studies in environmental, hydrology and metallurgy progress in support of planned mining studies in the second half of 2026.
At the time of reporting, Golden Horse Minerals' share price was $0.76.
