Kingwest Resources has drilled 107 holes at its Sir Laurence gold discovery near Menzies with significant “bedrock” mineralisation reported on every line over a 1km trend that remains open along strike and down dip.

ASX-Listed explorer, Venus Metals has substantially extended its high-grade mineralisation at the Link prospect within its Youanmi project . Latest drilling has intercepted high grade gold intercepts 200m down plunge of the existing resource, demonstrating strong continuity of mineralisation. These results point to a potential increase to the current resource estimate with many drill results still pending.
