Saturn Metals (ASX:STN) is eyeing 45 cents today as its share price jumps over +10% in Wednesday morning trades after flagging its discovery of “new high-grade, thick and relatively shallow” gold zones.

RC drill results recently concluded yielded the following results:

  • 21m @ 3.9g/t gold from 36m depth, including:
    • 05m @ 15g/t gold from 51m
  • 23m @ 2.5g/t gold from 56m depth, including:
    • 08m @ 5.6g/t gold from 70m
  • 11m @ 4.5g/t gold from 147m depth, including:
    • 10m @ 2.6g/t gold from 155m

These headline results have been enough to catch market attention as eyes remain on Saturn and its Apollo Hill project. Results flagged Wednesday were pulled from the ‘Iris’ and ‘Tefnut’ prospect zones of interest, respectively.

“These exciting new results confirm our belief that coherent high-grade zones like Iris have the potential to repeat throughout the greater Apollo Hill gold system,” company chief Ian Bamborough said.

“Drilling will target more of these recently identified structures in the coming months. Ultimately, the results will contribute towards our next Mineral Resource update, planned for release in the first half of 2026.”

With gold prices where they are, the market reaction to Wednesday’s news isn’t too complicated to understand.
