Astral Resources Strikes High-Grade Gold at Spargoville's Wattle Dam Complex

Astral Resources reports strong assay results from its recent drilling at the Spargoville Gold Project, revealing significant high-grade gold mineralisation and expanding known deposits. Concurrent drilling at Mandilla advances resource confidence ahead of a major update later this year.

• 39-hole RC drill program at Spargoville returns multiple high-grade gold intersections

• Notable results include 13m at 7.10g/t Au and 5m at 9.35g/t Au at Wattle Dam Complex

• Mineralisation remains open at depth, with extensions identified at Redback, Huntsman, and Trapdoor deposits

• Ongoing sterilisation and in-fill drilling at Mandilla supports upcoming Mineral Resource update

• Exploration targeting identifies multiple high-priority faults for further drilling in 2026

Strong Drill Results at Spargoville

Astral Resources has released assay results from a 39-hole reverse circulation (RC) drilling campaign at its Spargoville Gold Project’s Wattle Dam Complex in Western Australia. The program, completed in January 2026, delivered several high-grade gold intersections, including standout hits such as 13 metres at 7.10 grams per tonne (g/t) gold and 5 metres at 9.35 g/t gold. These results confirm the presence of robust mineralisation across the Redback, Huntsman, and Trapdoor deposits.

The drilling was designed to both in-fill existing resource gaps and extend mineralisation zones, with the deepest holes on each line confirming that the gold-bearing lodes remain open at depth. Notably, mineralisation appears closely associated with the eastern contact of an interpreted porphyry unit, a geological feature that may guide future exploration efforts.
