Brightstar has been running RC drilling at the Bull Oak and Havilah deposits at Sandstone to test beneath the existing resource and look for extensions.
Across the four drill holes the Aussie explorer ran in the growth-focused campaign, all four appear to have confirmed significant mineralisation in their targeted zones.
“With four rigs currently drilling at the Sandstone hub, our geological understanding is rapidly growing, which will lead into increased resource confidence and… new exploration targets,” managing director Alex Rovira declared today.
“Concurrently, PFS work streams are now well underway as we look to fast-track development studies at the project and deliver a robust PFS in 2026.”
A standout hit came at Bull Oak, where one intercept ranked in at one metre at 16.7 grams per tonne gold from 15 metres. This was itself within a broader, unconstrained intercept that came in at 73 metres at 1.14g/t gold.
These were pointed out specifically by Mr Rovira, who explained they will be “extremely prospective” for the material MRE hike Brighstar is looking to land.
Another assay at the same deposit revealed three metres at 31.4 grams per tonne gold from 160 metres, within a larger 157-metre, 1.13g/t gold intercept.
Havilah had strong results, too, though it only had one hole run through the campaign. Results from there came back in at five metres at 12.8 grams per tonne gold from 142 metres, including one metre at 55.2g/t gold.
Price action has been good for BTR; it’s up +1.1% before lunchtime.
