Bluetooth Drilling Yields 20m+ Gold Zones Above 2g/t, Solstice Plans More

Strong Phase II Drilling Results at Bluetooth

Solstice Minerals Limited (ASX – SLS) has delivered a promising update from its Phase II Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling campaign at the Bluetooth Gold Prospect, part of its expansive Yarri Gold Project in Western Australia. The latest assays reveal multiple significant gold intercepts, including standout results such as 20 metres at 2.18 grams per tonne (g/t) gold from 28 metres depth and 20 metres at 2.01 g/t gold from 20 metres, which includes a higher-grade 4-metre interval at 6.18 g/t.

These intercepts are near surface and interpreted to be close to true width, defining shallow east-dipping mineralised zones that extend over at least 800 metres of strike length. The mineralisation broadens towards a fold closure in the northern part of the prospect, a structural feature that often correlates with thicker ore zones. The geometry and grade distribution suggest a favourable setting for potential open pit mining.

Building on a Solid Foundation

This round of drilling builds on Solstice’s earlier Phase I results, which already indicated strong potential with intercepts such as 29 metres at 1.58 g/t gold and 12 metres at 2.86 g/t gold. The continuity of mineralisation and the scale of the system underscore the commercial viability of the Bluetooth prospect within the Yarri Project’s infrastructure-rich environment.

Solstice’s CEO and Managing Director, Nick Castleden, highlighted the rapid progress, noting that the drilling has defined consistent broad zones of oxide gold mineralisation that are amenable to open pit extraction. The company is preparing for further drilling to test down-plunge extensions, repeat structures, and underlying fresh rock mineralisation, aiming to increase drill density to support future Mineral Resource Estimation.

Strategic Location and Pipeline

The Yarri Project benefits from excellent infrastructure, including haul roads and two operating mills within 100 kilometres, which enhances the economics of any potential development. Alongside Bluetooth, Solstice is advancing drilling at the nearby Edjudina Range gold discovery, where initial results have also been encouraging, and anticipates assay results soon from the Statesman Well prospect.

With over 1,650 square kilometres of highly prospective tenure in the Eastern Goldfields, Solstice is well positioned to leverage its strong cash position of $13.6 million to maintain an active exploration program. The company’s portfolio also includes the Nanadie Copper-Gold Project, which holds a robust inferred resource and presents further growth opportunities.

Looking Ahead

Solstice’s methodical approach to exploration, combined with the scale and grade of mineralisation at Bluetooth, suggests a compelling story unfolding in one of Australia’s most prolific gold regions. The company’s focus on expanding drill coverage and refining geological models will be critical in advancing these prospects toward resource definition and potential development.
