Within its Laverton gold project in Western Australia, Brightstar Resources (ASX:BTR) has kicked off a 20-hole, 2000-metre diamond drilling program at Cork Tree Well.
This campaign aims to support the ongoing pre-feasibility study by gathering data from across open pit shells within the lease area.
Meanwhile, Brightstar awaits assays from a recent reverse circulation drilling program at its Menzies gold project, completed late last year. These results will inform both resource estimations and metallurgical analysis.
“This 5000m program was designed as extensional and infill drilling to grow the existing resource at the Link Zone, and provide sufficient drill density to potentially declare a maiden resource at Aspacia,” BTR Managing Director Alex Rovira said.
“As part of the PFS work streams underway, Brightstar has commenced the maiden diamond drilling campaign at Cork Tree Well to generate information both within the ore zones and the designed pit walls, which will provide the requisite material for metallurgical test work and improve Brightstar’s knowledge of geological and geotechnical domains within the CTW area.”
BTR shares were up 7.14 per cent, trading at 1.5 cents at 12:41 pm AEDT.
