Astral Resources NL (ASX:AAR) managing director Marc Ducler sits down with Proactive’s Jonathan Jackson to discuss the recently completed reverse circulation (RC) drilling at the Kamperman Prospect within the Feysville Gold Project in Western Australia, extending the strike length to approximately 450 metres.
The 18-hole, 2,172-metre RC drill program focused on infill and extensional drilling. The program aimed to reduce line spacing to no more than 40 metres and tested an 80-metre northern and 40-metre southern extension. Results showed consistent positive gold mineralisation, with highlights including 28 metres at 1.99 g/t gold.
The successful drilling supports gold mineralisation interpretation over a 450-metre strike length, which remains open to the north. Astral is now preparing a maiden mineral resource estimate (MRE) for Kamperman, along with MRE updates for the Think Big deposit and Rogan Josh prospect, expected later this year. Feysville currently hosts a MRE of 3 million tonnes at 1.3 g/t gold, potentially providing satellite ore feed for the Mandilla Gold Project.
Ducler noted the efficiency of shallow RC drilling, with a slimline RC rig now in use at Rogan Josh. The new resource estimates will contribute to the broader Feysville MRE update, expected in the latter half of 2024. Regional exploration, including aircore drilling, is planned to test gold targets north of Kamperman.
