Platina Commences Strategic Aircore Drilling at WA’s Challa & Beete Projects
Platina Resources Limited (ASX: PGM ) has launched a strategic aircore drilling campaign at its Challa and Beete gold prospects in Western Australia—two strong assets identified in the highly prospective Murchison region. The campaign comprises 1,690 m across 14 holes at Challa, located 55 km east of Mt Magnet, and 1,536 m over 39 holes at Beete, situated near Norseman. At Challa, drilling targets a northwest -trending splay off the Challa shear zone—previous drilling (CHAC0155) intersected 12 m grading 0.66 g/t Au , with a high-grade segment of 4 m at 1.7 g/t Au . Current efforts aim to trace that structure and define its lateral gold potential. At Beete, the drill pattern is designed to infill earlier assays marked by anomalous gold and arsenic values. Results here will provide clarity ahead of deeper follow-up by RC or diamond drilling. Managing Director Corey Nolan emphasised that these aircore programs are essential to testing current geological models before allo...
