KalGold Plans 6,850m RC and 1,800m Diamond Drilling Starting April 2026

Expanding the Pinjin Gold Footprint

Kalgoorlie Gold Mining Limited (ASX:KAL) is gearing up for its most extensive drilling campaign to date at the Pinjin Gold Project, located roughly 140 kilometres northeast of Kalgoorlie-Boulder. Scheduled to commence in mid-April 2026, the multi-pronged exploration effort aims to both expand existing resources and unlock new gold mineralisation across several priority targets.

The company’s planned reverse circulation (RC) drilling program includes 41 holes totalling 6,850 metres focused on the Kirgella Gift-Providence deposits and the Lighthorse prospect. This work will infill and extend known mineralisation, with a particular emphasis on closing gaps between deposits and testing strike extensions to the north and west. These efforts are expected to underpin an update to the current JORC Inferred Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE), which presently stands at 76,400 ounces of gold at Kirgella Gift-Providence.

Probing Depths and New Frontiers

Complementing the RC drilling, KalGold will undertake four diamond drill holes totalling 1,800 metres beneath Kirgella Gift and Providence. These deeper holes, reaching between 80 to 200 metres below the existing resource base, are designed to test the vertical continuity and grade of primary gold mineralisation. This step is critical to understanding the deposit’s potential at depth and could significantly enhance the resource profile if successful.

In parallel, the company plans an ambitious aircore drilling program targeting the Laverton Tectonic Zone (LTZ) Flexure, a structurally complex and previously unexplored area approximately 3.5 kilometres southeast of Kirgella Gift-Providence. With up to 215 widely spaced holes covering around 10,750 metres, this first-pass reconnaissance drilling will test for gold anomalism beneath transported cover, where historic exploration has been limited or ineffective.

Strategic Positioning and Community Engagement

KalGold’s Pinjin Project sits within a Tier One gold province, adjacent to Ramelius Resources’ Rebecca Gold Project, which is advancing towards production. This proximity underscores the strategic importance of KalGold’s exploration efforts. The company is also actively progressing a Heritage Protection Agreement with the Kakarra Aboriginal Corporation following native title determination in 2025. This agreement is expected to facilitate heritage surveys and ensure respectful and compliant access to key project areas, including Kirgella Gift, Providence, and the LTZ Flexure target.

Managing Director Matt Painter highlighted the company’s commitment to systematic and extensive drilling despite industry-wide rig availability challenges. KalGold’s approach includes maintaining multiple drill programs at a field-ready stage to remain agile and responsive to rig access, a critical factor in the current competitive drilling market.

Looking Ahead

Beyond the immediate drilling campaigns, KalGold is reviewing additional programs across the broader Pinjin Gold Project, including reconnaissance aircore drilling at the Rebecca Sequence and southern gap areas, as well as follow-up work on northern extensions and mine strike targets. These efforts reflect a comprehensive strategy to build on recent discoveries and steadily grow the company’s resource base.

With assays and results pending, the market will be watching closely to see how these drilling programs translate into resource growth and project valuation. KalGold’s ability to navigate operational challenges and community engagement will be key to unlocking the full potential of the Pinjin Gold Project.
