Rumble Resources (ASX:RTR) has this week obtained new “fantastic” high-grade gold assays to share with its investors, with the top results having significantly extended its Western Queen gold project in Western Australia.

Results from a further 12 diamond drill holes at the Western Queen South target have increased intercept mineralisation to more than 500 metres down plunge. Elsewhere, initial drilling results from the Central area have returned high-grade intercepts, including 6.3 metres at 24.88 grams per tonne (g/t) from 305m.

“These are fantastic results and highlight the significant resource growth potential at both Western Queen South and Central,” Rumble’s MD, Peter Harold, said.

He continued: “The results of the infill drilling at Western Queen South project provide strong confidence as we advance towards an updated gold mineral resource estimate. We plan to deliver this update ahead of [the start of] mining, which remains on track to begin in the second half of this year.”

The latest highlights come from a 20,000m diamond program, which started in October CY25. The program was designed to grow and upgrade the Western Queen resource estimate in the lead-up to mining.

A highlight of these latest results from Western Queen South is several exceptional high-grade gold intercepts and the successful confirmation of a potential extension of the high-grade mineralisation identified 300m up plunge to the north. That drilling intersected 12.2 metres at 5.13 grams per tonne from 456 metres, including 2.2 metres at 23.7 grams per tonne gold from 466 metres.

“The drilling is certainly achieving the desired goals of finding more high-grade mineralisation and extending the mineralisation down plunge to grow the resources. These results are a credit to the exploration team and DDH1,” Mr Harold said. “We look forward to receiving more positive results as the drilling progresses.”

Western Queen is 40km northwest of Ramelius’s Dalgaranga project and contains reported resources totalling 370K ounces of gold at 3.1 g/t. Further drilling is planned to follow up on this intercept and other results.

RTR is up +2.22% to 4.6c. Mkt cap $52.72M.
