Bryah Gold Project: Tambourah Completes Key Surveys, Eyes 2026 Drilling
Tambourah Metals advances exploration at its Bryah Gold Project with new geophysical surveys, soil sampling, and heritage agreements, setting the stage for drilling in 2026.
- Completion of high-resolution sub-audio magnetic survey at Beatty Park South
- Detailed soil sampling underway to refine gold targets
- Heritage agreements signed with Jidi Jidi Aboriginal Corporation
- New exploration target identified at Baxter South
- Drill programs planned pending heritage and statutory approvals
Exploration Momentum Builds at Bryah Gold Project
Tambourah Metals Ltd (ASX – TMB) has reported significant progress in its Bryah Gold Project, located in Western Australia's Murchison region. The company recently completed a high-resolution sub-audio magnetic (SAM) survey over a 2km by 1km area at the Beatty Park South prospect, a key site where previous drilling has revealed high-grade gold mineralisation. This geophysical survey, combined with detailed soil sampling on a tight grid, aims to sharpen the focus on promising gold targets ahead of planned drilling campaigns.
The SAM survey, conducted by GAP Geophysics, offers enhanced geological insights by detecting subtle variations in magnetic and conductivity properties of the subsurface. Such data can reveal structural features and alteration zones often associated with gold deposits. Meanwhile, the collection of 740 soil samples, analysed for ultrafine gold and multi-element content, is expected to complement the geophysical data and guide precise drill hole placement.
New Targets and Strategic Agreements
Beyond Beatty Park South, Tambourah has identified a fresh exploration target at Baxter South, an area surrounding the historic Harmony gold deposit. Legacy data review uncovered a gold geochemical anomaly 2.4 kilometres west of Harmony, with previous shallow drilling indicating low-level gold presence linked to structural features. Notably, no systematic bedrock drilling has been conducted here since 1994, marking this as a priority for initial drill testing.
Tambourah is also reviewing legacy data and planning field checks in the Peak Hill area, near significant historic gold mines. These efforts underscore the company's strategy to leverage both new and historical datasets to unlock value across its 466 square kilometre Bryah tenure.
Heritage Agreements Pave Way for Drilling
Crucially, Tambourah has formalised heritage agreements with the Jidi Jidi Aboriginal Corporation, covering multiple tenements within the project area. These agreements establish protocols for land access and cultural heritage protection, enabling the company to advance exploration activities responsibly and with community engagement. With heritage approvals underway, Tambourah is preparing for a series of drill programs in 2026, including at Beatty Park South and Baxter South, pending final statutory permits.
Assay results from soil sampling and recent drill core at the Tambourah Gold Project are awaited, which will provide further clarity on the mineral potential. The company’s methodical approach; integrating geophysical surveys, geochemical sampling, and community agreements; positions it well to delineate new gold resources in a historically rich but underexplored region.
Bottom Line?
As Tambourah Metals moves towards drilling, upcoming assay results and approvals will be pivotal in defining the Bryah Project’s next growth phase.
Questions in the middle?
- What will the soil sampling assays reveal about the extent of gold mineralisation at Beatty Park South?
- How might the new Baxter South target reshape Tambourah’s exploration priorities?
- What impact will heritage agreements have on the timing and scope of upcoming drill programs?
