Resolution Minerals (ASX:RML) is ramping up exploration of the historic Golden Gate project with two diamond core drill rigs about to arrive on-site in Idaho. The initial rig is set to reach the site in coming days, with the second is mid-May for a significant program of up to 13,700 metres over 45 holes.

Resolution is targeting tungsten and gold mineralisation at Golden Gate, part of the Horse Heaven critical and precious minerals project.
The upcoming program over the next few months will follow Resolution’s successful phase one drilling campaign at Golden Gate North and South of 3,780m for 14 holes in CY25, where gold was found in all holes from surface with mineralisation remaining open at depth, along strike and laterally.
Highlight hits from phase one included 253 metres at 1.5 grams per tonne gold; 197.5 metres at 1.26 g/t; 265.2m at 0.60 g/t; and 240.8m at 0.64 g/t.
Craig Lindsay, Resolution’s CEO of U.S. Operations, said the program will also focus on the Golden Gate North and Golden Gate South targets and include an examination of the project’s significant tungsten mineralisation.
“Resolution is now underway on an exciting and extensive 2026 drill program at Golden Gate for gold and tungsten. Camp and drill crew setup is ongoing as we mobilise drill rigs onto site with water and fuel support together with our experienced technical team,” Mr Lindsay explained today.
At Golden Gate North, drilling will feature infill and step-out drilling to expand known gold mineralisation and test extensions, following past positive results.
Gold exploration at Golden Gate South will include a focus on expanding discovery drill hole HH-GG25-013R, which returned 99.1m at 0.38 g/t from surface to end of hole.
At the same time, drilling is designed to identify extensions of mineralisation around the previous mine workings at Golden Gate and around the CY25 drillhole HH-GG25-012R, which intersected 21m at 0.06% tungsten.
At Golden Gate South, a large target will be drilled west of hole HH-GG25-013R, which hosts a coincident gold and tungsten soil anomaly identified in historic sampling covering an area of approximately 500m by 600m.
Golden Gate is located immediately adjacent to Perpetua Resources’ Stibnite project, a large, recently permitted antimony-gold project.
RML is steady at 6.8¢. Mkt cap $142.6M.
