Think Big is living up to its name!

Astral Resources has released assay results from the 92-hole (5,229m) RC in-fill program completed at the Think Big deposit, part of the Feysville Gold Project just 14km south of Kalgoorlie. The results are in, and they're good.

Think Big has always been an important piece of the Astral story. A shallow, high-grade supergene deposit with a 2.4Mt at 1.1g/t Au resource, it was identified early as an early cash-flow opportunity, the kind of project that could generate revenue while the larger Mandilla DFS is being advanced. The proposed Joint Venture with MMS, under which MMS funds 100% of development costs, further strengthens the project’s economic case.

The in-fill program was designed to refine the mine design ahead of development. What came back reinforced why this deposit has always attracted attention, broad zones of high-grade, near-surface gold across multiple sections, supporting a profitable extraction.

Standout results include:

11m @ 7.34g/t Au from 38m

12m @ 5.89g/t Au from 30m

3m @ 10.0g/t Au from 21m and 9m @ 6.01g/t Au from 93m

27m @ 1.36g/t Au from 41m

The average assay grade across the program came in at 1.78g/t Au. For context, Think Big was modelled in the Mandilla PFS at 1.2g/t Au. The results are supportive of exceeding that.

With the Native Vegetation Clearing Permit approved the Mine Development & Closure Plan is now the next key approval required, with the critical path activity being the design and construction of the haul road intersection with the Goldfields Highway.

The pieces are coming together. A fully funded JV. Strong in-fill results. Permitting on track. Revenue expected by mid-2027.

For a company also running one of the most exciting deep drilling programs in the WA goldfields at Mandilla, Think Big is a reminder that Astral has multiple compelling stories to tell.
