Terrain Minerals Uncovers Multiple Large Gold Targets at Wildflower Ahead of 2026 Drilling

Exploration Breakthrough at Wildflower

Terrain Minerals Limited (ASX – TMX) has announced promising results from an induced polarisation (IP) geophysical survey conducted at its 100%-owned Wildflower Gold Prospect, part of the broader Smokebush project in Western Australia. The survey revealed multiple large-scale chargeability anomalies, some extending beyond 800 metres, which are interpreted as potential gold mineralisation zones.

These findings are particularly significant given the structural and geological similarities between the Wildflower targets and Terrain’s nearby Lightning and Monza gold discoveries. Both prospects are situated around the same granite intrusion and share east-west trending structures known to control gold mineralisation in the region.

Strategic Drilling Program on the Horizon

Building on the IP survey success, Terrain has scheduled a 13-hole reverse circulation (RC) drilling program totaling approximately 2,300 metres to commence in January 2026. This drilling campaign aims to test the identified anomalies at Wildflower, with results anticipated by April 2026. The program follows closely on the heels of ongoing drilling at the Lightning prospect, underscoring Terrain’s rapid and systematic approach to exploration.

Executive Director Justin Virgin highlighted the momentum, stating, "The IP results have exceeded our expectations, revealing multiple large-scale targets that demand immediate drill testing. We are not just exploring one prospect but systematically unlocking the gold potential across the entire Smokebush Project. The next six months will be transformational for Terrain."

Context Within the Murchison Gold Province

Wildflower lies within the Murchison Gold Province, a prolific gold-producing region in Western Australia. The prospect itself is characterized by a large 1,000m by 500m gold-in-soil anomaly and is located just 10 kilometres from Vault Mining’s operating Rothsay Gold Mine. Historical exploration, including soil sampling and air-core drilling, has previously indicated encouraging mineralisation, which the recent IP survey has now refined into clear drill targets.

The use of IP surveying; a cost-effective and proven geophysical technique; has allowed Terrain to efficiently map subsurface sulphide mineralisation associated with gold. This approach reduces exploration risk by focusing drilling efforts on the most prospective zones, a strategy that has already borne fruit at Terrain’s Lightning and Monza prospects.

Looking Ahead

Terrain’s methodical progression from geophysics to drilling within weeks rather than months signals a company confident in its exploration model and eager to capitalise on multiple discovery opportunities. With near-term catalysts lined up, including drilling results from Lightning expected in February 2026 and Wildflower in April, investors will be watching closely to see if these targets translate into significant resource growth.
