Cazaly’s Goongarrie Expansion Raises Stakes Amid Early Gold Hits

Initial Drilling Success at Goongarrie

Cazaly Resources Limited has reported encouraging results from its recent aircore drilling campaign at the Goongarrie Gold Project, located 90 kilometres north of Kalgoorlie in Western Australia. The company has identified anomalous gold mineralisation extending over a 700-metre strike length along the Menzies Shear Zone, with assay results showing gold grades exceeding 1 gram per tonne and peaks up to 4.27 grams per tonne.

The drilling program, which was temporarily halted due to rain, completed 58 holes for a total of 2,748 metres. These initial shallow aircore results have successfully delineated gold mineralised trends from the Star of Goongarrie workings northwards past the Duke of York historical workings, confirming the presence of gold-bearing structures in this underexplored corridor.

Expanding the Exploration Footprint

Buoyed by these promising results, Cazaly has mobilised field crews to expand the aircore drilling program by an additional 8,000 metres. This expanded campaign aims to test over 7 kilometres of strike along the Menzies Shear Zone, targeting structurally complex zones that could host further gold mineralisation. Drilling is scheduled to recommence in early November 2025, with a focus on generating new targets for deeper reverse circulation (RC) drilling.

Managing Director Tara French expressed optimism about the campaign’s effectiveness, noting that the aircore drilling has provided a direct vector for targeting higher-grade mineralisation at depth. Previous RC drilling at nearby prospects such as Duchess and Duke of York has returned significant intercepts, including 19 metres at 1.5 g/t gold and 6 metres at 10.3 g/t gold, underscoring the potential of the region.

Strategic Location and Geological Setting

The Goongarrie Project covers approximately 70 square kilometres within the Kalgoorlie Terrain and includes 12 kilometres of the Bardoc Tectonic Zone, an extension of the highly prospective Boulder-Lefroy Shear Zone. This structural corridor is renowned for hosting some of the richest gold deposits in the Yilgarn Craton. The project area also features multiple subparallel structures and a complex geological setting conducive to gold mineralisation.

Historical exploration and recent drilling by other companies in the district have demonstrated the presence of high-grade gold mineralisation, lending further credibility to Cazaly’s exploration strategy. The company’s systematic approach, combining aircore drilling with soil sampling and geophysical analysis, aims to unlock new gold targets in this emerging goldfield.

Looking Ahead

Cazaly’s ongoing exploration efforts at Goongarrie are poised to deliver further insights into the gold potential of the Menzies Shear Zone. The expanded drilling program will be critical in defining the extent and grade of mineralisation, informing future resource estimation and development decisions. Investors and market watchers will be keen to monitor assay results from the upcoming drilling phases and any subsequent RC drilling campaigns.
