Auravelle Metals advancing Kal Gold targets with soil sampling completed

• Targeted soil sampling program completed at Crown project
• Program collected 400 samples for multi-element analysis
• Crown strategically positioned south of Black Cat’s Majestic Gold Centre.
• Sampling tested areas above key structures associated with Majestic Gold Centre

Auravelle Metals (ASX:AUV) has completed a targeted soil sampling program at its Crown gold project, located approximately 40km south-east of Kalgoorlie in WA’s Eastern Goldfields.

The program forms part of the company’s systematic exploration strategy at Crown, which is designed to build a stronger pipeline of gold targets across a significantly under-explored project area located near established gold deposits and key regional infrastructure.

The latest field program comprised approximately 400 soil samples collected for multi-element analysis.

Sampling was focused on infilling priority greenfield areas and testing interpreted structures considered prospective for gold mineralisation, including structures with a potential association to the nearby Majestic Gold Centre.

MD, Andrew Muir said sampling locations were optimised by specialised regolith identification software to target areas most amenable to soil sampling.

“Completion of the sampling program represents another important step in our company’s disciplined exploration strategy,” Mr Muir said.

“Crown remains a highly compelling exploration opportunity for Auravelle, particularly given its strategic location south of Black Cat Syndicate’s Majestic Gold Centre and the limited amount of deeper drilling completed across the project to date.

“Following expansion of the project in April this year, our team has moved quickly to get back on the ground and progress systematic sampling across priority areas.

“The objective of this work is clear. We’re looking to define additional gold anomalism across key structural corridors, build the next generation of aircore drilling targets and ultimately identify areas that justify deeper RC drill testing.”

The first aircore drilling program at Crown, completed in 2025, defined a gold anomaly extending more than two square km. It remains open and requires deeper follow-up drilling.

“This latest soil sampling program is designed to add further depth to our target pipeline and ensure the next phase of drilling is focused on the areas with the strongest geological support.

“With its location near multiple sizeable gold deposits, proximity to infrastructure and very limited historical deep drilling, Crown remains a priority project within Auravelle’s exploration portfolio.”

Results from the soil program are expected in Q3 CY2026 and will be used to support target generation ahead of the next phase of aircore drilling at Crown.
