Resolution Minerals Strikes Significant Gold at Horse Heaven, Idaho


 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 several 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 and expand the Golden Gate target.

Beyond gold, Horse Heaven remains prospective for critical minerals such as antimony and tungsten — positioning the project as a multi-commodity asset in a strategic U.S. minerals district.

Why This Discovery Matters

A near-surface discovery with strong continuity — unusually large intercept in first hole.

Potential for a large-scale gold deposit given depth and geology suggest openness at depth and along strike.

Multi-commodity potential: gold, antimony, tungsten (and possibly silver), aligning with critical-minerals demand and supply-chain strategies.

Infrastructure and strategic location advantage — proximity to existing mining district and favorable geology.

As assays from the other nine drill holes roll in during the coming months, and with a proposed expanded drilling program in motion, all eyes are on Horse Heaven. If subsequent results confirm the continuity and scale hinted at by the first hole, the project could evolve into one of Idaho’s most significant new gold and critical-minerals developments.

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.
