Can Moho Resources Turn New Bush Chook Targets into a Major Gold Discovery?
Moho Resources has expanded its Bush Chook Gold Project with 13 new tenements, revealing four promising gold targets backed by strong trench and rock chip assays. A substantial drilling campaign is set to begin in late March 2026 to test these prospects.
- 13 new prospecting licences granted at Bush Chook Project
- Four new high-priority gold targets identified, Gage Road, Boston, Single Fin, CBCo
- Trench assays up to 9m at 1.85g/t Au and rock chips up to 13.6g/t Au
- 3,000 to 5,000 metres of reverse circulation drilling planned from late March
- Project located in historically gold-rich Mosquito Creek Basin, Pilbara
Expanding the Bush Chook Footprint
Moho Resources Ltd (ASX, MOH) has taken a significant step forward in its exploration efforts at the Bush Chook Gold Project in Western Australia's Pilbara region. The company secured 13 new prospecting licences, unlocking four fresh high-priority gold targets. These targets; Gage Road, Boston, Single Fin, and CBCo; are supported by encouraging trench and rock chip assay results, which suggest the potential for substantial mineralisation.
Promising Assay Results Highlight Targets
The standout among the new targets is Gage Road, where trench sampling returned 9 metres at 1.85 grams per tonne (g/t) gold, including a higher-grade 2-metre interval at 5.45 g/t. Boston also showed impressive rock chip assays reaching 13.6 g/t gold. These results, combined with soil anomalies extending hundreds of metres, provide compelling reasons for Moho to prioritise these areas in its upcoming drilling program.
Drilling Plans and Regional Context
Moho plans to submit four new Programs of Work to facilitate between 3,000 and 5,000 metres of reverse circulation drilling starting in late March 2026. The drilling will test six priority targets, including the newly identified prospects and existing ones such as Little Creature and the southern Swan region. Pending heritage approvals, the Emu prospect is also slated for drilling in the second quarter.
Strategically, Bush Chook sits within the Mosquito Creek Basin, a historically productive gold province with over 2.4 million ounces of past production and current resources. Nearby, AIM Mining is actively developing the Blue Spec Gold-Antimony Deposit, underscoring the region’s ongoing exploration and mining activity.
Cautious Optimism Amid Early Exploration
While the trench and rock chip results are promising, Moho acknowledges these samples are selective and may not fully represent the overall mineralisation. The forthcoming drilling campaign will be critical to confirming the extent and continuity of gold mineralisation across these targets. The company’s leadership, including Chairman Peter Christie and Exploration Manager Graeme Hardwick, bring a blend of technical and corporate expertise to navigate this next phase.
As Moho advances its exploration program, the market will be watching closely for drilling results that could materially enhance the project’s resource base and valuation.
Bottom Line?
Moho’s upcoming drilling campaign at Bush Chook could redefine its gold potential, but results will be key to validating these early targets.
Questions in the middle?
- Will the planned drilling confirm the continuity and scale of gold mineralisation at the new targets?
- How quickly can Moho secure all necessary heritage and land access approvals to maintain its drilling schedule?
- What impact will nearby AIM Mining’s activities have on infrastructure and exploration dynamics at Bush Chook?
