Open-Ended Gold Mineralisation at Mt York Raises Stakes for Kairos

Drilling Momentum Builds at Mt York

Kairos Minerals Ltd (ASX – KAI) has unveiled compelling results from its ongoing drilling campaign at the Mt York Gold Project in Western Australia's Pilbara region. The latest batch of assays from 14 diamond drill holes highlights wide zones of gold mineralisation, notably at the Main Hill, Gossan Hill, and Breccia Hill prospects. These results reinforce the project's status as a significant gold system with substantial upside potential.

The standout intercept from hole 25MYDD067 at Breccia Hill returned 67 metres grading 1.92 grams per tonne gold from 140 metres, including a high-grade 6 metres at 6.91 g/t from 200 metres. This intercept notably extends the high-grade shoot down-dip and westward, bridging mineralisation gaps and enhancing resource confidence ahead of the next Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) update scheduled for Q1 2026.

Expanding the ‘Monster’ Zone and Main Trend

Drilling at Main Hill continues to impress, with multiple holes intersecting broad mineralised zones. Highlights include 50 metres at 1.10 g/t gold from 235 metres in hole 25MYDD058 and 28 metres at 1.18 g/t from 297 metres in hole 25MYDD056. These intercepts extend the ‘Monster’ zone and confirm that mineralisation remains open at depth and along strike, suggesting potential for both open-pit and shallow underground mining scenarios.

Kairos has now completed 89 holes totaling 21,098 metres in 2025, with plans to drill an additional 10,000 metres by year-end using four rigs. This represents the largest drilling campaign in the project’s history, underscoring the company’s commitment to aggressively advancing Mt York’s resource base.

Strategic Partnerships and Financial Strength

Following a Mineral Rights Agreement, Kairos has ramped up drilling on the Mt York Extension target located on PLS’s tenement E45/2241. This collaboration is expected to unlock further exploration potential along a 1,500-metre strike length that has seen limited historical drilling intensity.

Financially, Kairos is well-positioned with a robust cash balance of $30.4 million from a recent capital raise, supplemented by an anticipated $10 million from PLS either in cash or shares. This strong liquidity supports the ongoing exploration and development activities, including upcoming metallurgical test work and progressing a Mining Agreement with the Nyamal Aboriginal Corporation.

Looking Ahead to Resource Growth

The company is preparing to compile all geological and assay data to update the Mt York Mineral Resource Estimate in early 2026. The extensive drilling campaign, combined with new structural models highlighting shallow-plunging folds hosting higher-grade mineralisation, bodes well for resource expansion. Additionally, advanced metallurgical testing is underway to refine processing parameters, which could further enhance project economics.

With mineralisation remaining open at depth and along strike, and a strategic exploration push on newly acquired ground, Kairos is positioning Mt York for a significant step-change in its resource profile and development potential.
