Tambourah Metals Unveils Striking High-Grade Gold Hits at Tambourah King

Strong High-Grade Gold Intersections at Tambourah King

Tambourah Metals Limited (ASX, TMB) has delivered a compelling update from its Tambourah Gold Project in Western Australia's Pilbara region, highlighting significant shallow gold mineralisation at the Tambourah King prospect. Recent reverse circulation (RC) drilling has confirmed the continuation of a high-grade gold zone near surface, with standout results including 2 metres at 49.7 grams per tonne (g/t) gold from 50 metres depth, featuring an exceptional 1 metre interval at 97.6 g/t.

These results build on previous high-grade intersections and suggest a mineralised zone currently extending about 40 metres in length. The shallow nature of this mineralisation enhances its potential accessibility, which is a positive indicator for future development prospects.

Encouraging Regional Exploration Progress

Beyond Tambourah King, exploration drilling south of the main prospect has intersected gold mineralisation at the Alexandria and Young Australian prospects. At Alexandria, drilling returned 2 metres at 5.8 g/t gold from 60 metres, including a 1 metre interval at 9.7 g/t. These findings underscore the broader potential of the Tambourah project area, which has historically seen limited drilling density.

Tambourah’s geology manager, Bill Clayton, noted that the regional drilling success, combined with ongoing diamond drilling, will provide critical data to refine exploration targets and support future resource estimation efforts.

Diamond Drilling and Next Steps

The company has completed eight co-funded diamond drill holes targeting deeper and historic gold occurrences south of Tambourah King. The diamond drill core is currently being processed for sampling and assay, with results expected to complement the RC drilling data and provide a more comprehensive understanding of the mineralisation at depth.

Tambourah Metals is also advancing its mining lease application and plans to commence a preliminary exploration target resource estimate. Additional in-fill drilling is planned to better define the extent and continuity of the high-grade zones, which will be essential for progressing the project towards development.

Broader Portfolio and Exploration Outlook

Alongside the Tambourah Gold Project, the company is progressing drilling programs at other prospects including Duke, Cheela, and Beatty Park South, with assay results pending. Tambourah Metals continues to build a strategic portfolio of gold and critical mineral projects across Western Australia, positioning itself to capitalize on both gold and emerging critical mineral markets.

Overall, the latest drilling results reinforce Tambourah Metals’ exploration strategy and highlight the potential for significant gold resources within the Pilbara region, a jurisdiction known for its mining-friendly environment and rich mineral endowment.
