SQX Resources (ASX:SQX) has launched its maiden 2,500-meter reverse circulation drilling program at the Red Bird Gold Project.
Midnight Sun Drilling has mobilised a specialised, track-mounted "Grasshopper" rig to the site, following the completion of essential earthworks and road access.
The campaign represents a pivotal milestone for the company as it seeks to validate and expand upon high-priority targets, including high-grade structures that have previously returned surface assays as high as 49.2 g/t Au.
The drilling strategy is multi-faceted, focusing on the Red Bird Main Zone to confirm bulk mineralisation potential while testing for down-dip and strike extensions that remain open.
The program also includes exploratory holes at the Cave Tunnel area and Red Bird North, a fault-offset zone of significant alteration.
