Part of a multiple Talonx gold project exploration campaign, drilling at Blair North will test multiple new targets at the Commodore, Commodore North and Snake Hill gold prospects.

Drilling will start at the historic Commodore North site. The Commodore and Commodore North gold prospects were discovered by Metal Hawk in CY21-CY22; however, very little follow-up work has been carried out since.

Talonx plans to focus the majority of its efforts on Commodore North, with several holes planned to follow up on significant previous gold results.

Exploration drilling will also be conducted at the Snake Hill gold prospect, located five kilometres further north and only four kilometres northeast of Golden Ridge, which has produced more than 253,000 ounces of gold.

After Blair North, the rig will then be mobilised to the Viking project, located 30 kilometres east of Norseman, where drilling will test for extensions of high-grade mineralisation at the Beaker Two and Beaker Four prospects.

Earlier this month, TalonX confirmed shallow, high-grade gold with the release of promising results from a 10-hole (867m) RC drilling program at Beaker Two.

The results validated historical drilling and demonstrated continuity of shallow oxide gold mineralisation along strike and down dip, identifying Beaker Two as a coherent near-surface gold system with potential to support future resource definition drilling. Highlight results included 14m at 2.01 grams per tonne gold (g/t) from 9.0m, including 1.0m at 7.35 g/t from 9m and 2.0m at 4.76 g/t from 14m.

“We look forward to building on the results from Beaker Two, and we’re also very keen to start drilling at Blair North,” executive chairman, Dr Steve Lennon, said. “We believe there are excellent opportunities at Commodore North and Snake Hill, which present as high-quality drill-ready gold prospects.”

TXR heads into Monday morning at 1.3cps.
