Golden Gate is turning out to be a real bonus for Resolution which attracted international attention for the critical minerals potential of Horse Heaven when it acquired that project in the third quarter of 2025.
Since that time it has confirmed the project’s antimony potential and hit impressive gold mineralisation.
The latest gold find came from two of the three holes drilled at the southern end of the Golden Gate fault zone in 2025.
Those holes intersected broad intervals of near-surface gold ending in mineralisation.
Executive director, Aharon Zaetz, told shareholders the result heralds a gold discovery at the Golden Gate South prospect, south of the first gold discovery at Golden Gate North.
“The Golden Gate prospect, now hosting the Golden Gate North Gold deposit and the emerging Golden Gate South prospect, is fast becoming a very significant, near surface gold discovery,” he said.
“The northeast-southwest strike-length of the combined Golden Gate North and Golden Gate South gold prosects is approximately 1.5km. Mineralisation remains open long strike and at depth.
“In addition, across-strike, or lateral repeats of the mineralisation is possible, as indicated by the juxtaposition of Golden Gate North and Golden Gate South with repeating northeast-southwest faults.”
Resolution is planning a significant up-scaled drill program at Golden Gate beginning as early as May, with drilling to focus on expansion of the gold discoveries at both Golden Gate North and Golden Gate South.
The company is aiming to commission a maiden JORC mineral resource estimate at Golden Gate North following the conclusion of the 2026 drill program.
It has also submitted samples from the 2026 Golden Gate drill program for initial metallurgical testing.
The company is now looking to significantly expand its exploration footprint at Golden Gate via a new exploration permit that will allow for drilling over a significantly expanded area, utilising both new roads and the re-opening of closed roads.
Resolution is also planning to drill test for tungsten mineralisation in an area adjacent to the historic Golden Gate tungsten mine as well as to the south along the Golden Gate Fault, where a tungsten anomaly has been identified via an extensive soil sampling program.
RML is up 7.69% to 7.0¢. Mkt cap $13.46M.
