Forrestania Advances Gold Ambitions with Lady Lila Drilling Success
Forrestania Resources has completed diamond drilling at its Lady Lila project and initiated drilling at British Hill, marking key steps in its strategy to build a multi-asset gold portfolio in Western Australia.
- Diamond drilling completed at Lady Lila with encouraging geological results
- Drilling commenced at British Hill within granted Mining Lease M77/1256
- British Hill positioned as near-term production opportunity with approvals underway
- Drill program totals 200 metres targeting mineralised zones for follow-up
- Efforts align with Forrestania’s plan to advance towards gold production via Lake Johnston
Diamond Drilling Milestone at Lady Lila
Forrestania Resources has successfully completed its maiden diamond drilling program at the Lady Lila project, part of its Forrestania Hub in Western Australia. The drilling has delivered encouraging results, confirming mineralised zones exactly where the technical team had projected. These zones appear to extend both at depth and along strike, providing promising targets for upcoming reverse circulation (RC) drilling campaigns. This progress offers a clearer geological understanding of the orebody within the granted mining lease, a crucial step towards future resource development.
British Hill Drilling Commences Amid Production Prospects
Simultaneously, Forrestania has commenced diamond drilling at the British Hill project, also within the Forrestania Hub and covered by Mining Lease M77/1256. British Hill is a well-known gold prospect in the Southern Goldfields region, located about 60 kilometres south-southeast of Marvel Loch. The project benefits from a suite of pre-production baseline studies and approvals, positioning it as a near-term production opportunity. Forrestania’s preliminary technical review suggests a high confidence in mining a significant portion of the existing resource through low-cost open pit methods, with early works already underway and final mining approvals pending.
Strategic Expansion Across Western Australia’s Gold Belts
These drilling activities form part of Forrestania’s broader strategy to establish a multi-asset gold resource base across some of Western Australia’s most prospective mining districts. The company is advancing towards production, initially leveraging its wholly-owned Lake Johnston processing facility acquired late last year. Beyond Forrestania Hub, the company’s footprint extends into the Southern Cross, Eastern Goldfields, and Forrestania regions, all known for their rich mineral endowment and historic gold production.
Led by an experienced board and technical team, Forrestania is focused on disciplined exploration and selective acquisitions, aiming to unlock the full potential of these mineralised belts. The recent drilling results and ongoing programs underscore the company’s commitment to systematic resource growth and technical excellence.
Looking Ahead
While assay results from the Lady Lila drilling are eagerly awaited, the company’s progress at British Hill and its strategic positioning suggest a pathway towards near-term production. The combination of geological validation, existing approvals, and infrastructure access provides a solid foundation for Forrestania’s growth ambitions in the competitive Western Australian gold sector.
Bottom Line?
Forrestania’s drilling progress sets the stage for resource expansion and potential production milestones ahead.
Questions in the middle?
- What specific assay results will confirm the economic viability of Lady Lila’s mineralised zones?
- When can investors expect final mining approvals and production commencement at British Hill?
- How will Forrestania integrate these projects operationally with the Lake Johnston processing facility?
