Resolution Minerals Accelerates RC Drilling at Golden Gate to Expand New Gold Discovery


 Earlier core drilling (holes HH-GG25-001C, -002C & -003C) returned broad zones of gold mineralisation from surface, and each hole ended in mineralisation, indicating the system remains open.

The RC program will leverage existing permitted infrastructure (no new drill pads required) to deploy the rig quickly and cost-effectively. The Company is also pursuing a larger 50-hole follow-up program.

Location & context: The Horse Heaven Project lies in Valley County, Idaho, in a mining-friendly jurisdiction; Golden Gate lies only about 6 km from the advanced-stage Stibnite Gold Project, enhancing the geological significance of the discovery.

Strategic implications: The discovery at Golden Gate aligns with the Company’s dual-track strategy of gold plus critical minerals (antimony/tungsten) in the U.S. This is especially timely given rising interest in domestic supply of critical commodities.

Why This Matters:

From an exploration standpoint, broad mineralisation that starts at surface and ends in mineralisation signals strong potential for a large-scale intrusion-relat

 

 

 

 

 

 

ed gold system (IRGS). The continuity of mineralisation is a key technical marker.

Rapid follow-up with RC drilling means the Company is moving quickly to define the footprint rather than just discovering an isolated zone. The fact that no new pads are required accelerates timing and reduces cost.

The proximity to Stibnite (a major U.S critical minerals project) adds credibility and suggests favourable geological setting and infrastructure.

For investors or stakeholders, the story has multiple catalysts ahead (assay results from remaining core holes, results from RC drilling, permitting for 50-hole program), offering newsflow and potential upside if the system expands.

What’s Next:

Resolution expects assay results from the remaining Phase 1 diamond core holes soon.

The results from the RC campaign will follow; they aim to test extensions along strike, down-dip and width from the discovery zone.

The bigger 50‐hole programme will then ramp up, contingent on permitting and earlier successes.

Continued broader exploration across Horse Heaven (including the “Antimony Ridge” target) remains active.

Risks / Considerations:

As with any early-stage exploration, results are promising but not yet a defined resource or reserve. Follow-up drilling and assays will be key.

RC drilling gives less resolution than core drilling, so context and interpretation will matter.

Market and commodity conditions (gold, antimony, tungsten) remain variable and will influence the project’s economics and investor sentiment.

Permitting, environmental, and infrastructure risks always exist in mining jurisdictions, though Idaho is considered relatively favourable.

Summary:

Resolution Minerals’ announcement that it is accelerating RC drilling at the Golden Gate prospect is a significant step in advancing what appears to be a promising large-scale gold system in a well-positioned U.S. mining jurisdiction. With initial diamond holes showing broad mineralisation from surface and still open, the move into RC step-out drilling underscores the Company’s confidence and momentum. While still early days, the combination of rapid drill follow-up, a large target area, and a dual strategy (gold + critical minerals) make this a story worth watching.

Carbonxt Restructures Black Birch Lease, Secures Premium Placement to Drive Growth

Image
Carbonxt Group Ltd (ASX: CG1) has successfully restructured its lease agreement for the Black Birch Powdered Activated Carbon (PAC) facility in Georgia, USA. The revised lease significantly reduces fixed costs while allowing Carbonxt to maintain full operational control. In a strategic move, the lessor has agreed to accept shares as lease payments through September 2025, demonstrating confidence in the Company’s growth trajectory. Carbonxt will issue 7.86 million shares at $0.08 each, representing a 37% premium to the 15-day VWAP. Major Lease Restructuring to Reduce Costs The Black Birch PAC facility, operating under a 50-year lease since 2017, had previously required minimum fixed rent payments. Under the renegotiated agreement: The lease is secured through September 2025. Monthly lease payments are reduced by over 50%, easing financial pressure. Carbonxt will issue shares instead of making cash payments. This restructuring provides Carbonxt with greater fi...

Resolution Minerals Strikes Significant Gold at Horse Heaven, Idaho

Image
  Australian-listed miner Resolution Minerals (ASX: RML) has announced a breakthrough discovery at its Horse Heaven Project in Idaho, USA. The first diamond-core drill hole at the Golden Gate prospect (HH-GG25-001C) intersected a broad near-surface gold zone — 189.2 metres @ 1.30 g/t Au from a depth of just 34.1 metres. Impressively, mineralisation bottoms  out and remains open at depth. Notably, the intercept includes severa l higher-grade zones: 12.9 m @ 2.32 g/t Au from 94.4 m and 70.8 m @ 2.24 g/t Au from 128.8 m. These results suggest the presence of an intrusion-hosted gold system — a deposit style known for large tonnage potential — similar to that found at the nearby Stibnite Gold Project located only ~6 km away. The initial “Phase 1” drilling campaign comprised  10 holes totalling 2,770.6 metres, though only the first hole’s assay results have been released so far. Resolution plans to submit permits for a follow-up program of up to 50 holes to systematically test...

Platina Resources Doubles Its Laverton Footprint with Strategic Acquisition

Image
  Platina Resources (ASX: PGM)  has significantly expanded its presence in Western Australia’s Laverton Gold District by acquiring the Mt Morgans South Gold Project. The new tenement package boosts the company’s landholding to more than 312 km² , nearly doubling its exploration footprint in one of Australia’s most productive  gold belts. The Mt Morgans South  project sits close to major gold operations, including the Jupiter  and Westralia  mines, and lies within proven Archean greenstone geology known for hosting multi- million-ounce deposits . This strategic location gives Platina strong potential for new gold discoveries. The company plans to begin exploration by reviewing historical data, refining targets and preparing for future drilling programs. With this acquisition, Platina strengthens its district-scale strategy and enhances its chances  of uncovering high-value gold opportunities.
