Great Boulder’s 39.9g/t hit reshapes Peak Hill’s resource potential

Great Boulder Resources has reported its strongest Peak Hill drilling result to date, with 8 metres at 39.9g/t gold at Golden Treasure. The result supports modelling Golden Treasure and Jubilee as a single resource, ahead of a planned Peak Hill resource update.

  • 8m at 39.9g/t gold from 58m at Golden Treasure
  • Golden Treasure and Jubilee may be modelled as one resource
  • Durack returns 11m at 6.36g/t gold from surface
  • Enigma remains open along strike, with further drilling planned
  • Peak Hill resource update to incorporate new assays

Golden Treasure delivers Peak Hill’s strongest intersection

Great Boulder Resources (ASX:GBR) has produced its best drilling result across the Peak Hill Gold Project, returning 8 metres at 39.9g/t gold from 58 metres at Golden Treasure. The intersection is also the strongest result by grams-metres ever reported at Golden Treasure, according to the company.

The result sits between Golden Treasure and Jubilee, where Great Boulder has been testing whether mineralisation continues across the two areas. Additional intersections, including 16 metres at 6.36g/t from 48 metres and 6 metres at 9.04g/t from 93 metres, support the company’s interpretation that the deposits are structurally connected. Great Boulder now intends to model Golden Treasure and Jubilee as a single resource. The earlier Peak Hill drilling campaign had targeted resource growth ahead of an update expected by the end of 2026.

Untested Golden Treasure adds resource upside

Golden Treasure has not previously carried its own mineral resource estimate. That makes the current 481,000-ounce Peak Hill inventory a starting point rather than a ceiling, although the size of any increase remains unquantified and depends on further drilling, geological modelling and estimation.

Great Boulder Managing Director Andrew Paterson described the assays as “sensational” and said the company expected to see more high-grade shoots as drilling continued. The filing’s technical data is more measured: intersections are reported downhole, and the announcement notes that mineralisation widths may differ from the reported intercept lengths.

Durack results extend shallow high-grade potential

Durack added a second strand to the resource-growth case. Drilling about 400 metres southwest of the central resource area returned 11 metres at 6.36g/t gold from surface, on the edge of previous drilling and the Durack resource margin.

The company says shallow mineralisation could be relevant to a future truck-and-shovel operation because it may offer access to higher-grade tonnes early in a mine sequence. Further drilling about 1.5 kilometres northwest along strike also returned high-grade mineralisation, including 4 metres at 4.76g/t from 30 metres. Great Boulder says Durack spans more than 1.5 kilometres of strike and remains under-explored.

Enigma and Mt Pleasant keep the drilling pipeline full

At Enigma, infill drilling returned 7 metres at 6.34g/t gold from 36 metres and 3 metres at 6.44g/t from 51 metres. The deposit is about 800 metres long and remains open along strike, particularly to the southwest, where historic drilling has identified gold over a further 2 kilometres.

Drilling is continuing, with Mt Pleasant next in line for intensive reverse-circulation work after a diamond hole was completed in October to confirm vein orientations. Great Boulder has also pointed to an ore purchase agreement with its largest shareholder, Westgold Resources (ASX:WGX), as a potential low-capital route to production and cash flow. The filing does not provide the agreement’s commercial terms or establish that a production decision has been made.

Bottom Line?

The immediate catalyst is the Peak Hill resource update, but the value of these assays will depend on how consistently the high-grade zones convert into a mineable resource.

Questions in the middle?

  • How much of Golden Treasure’s high-grade mineralisation will enter the next Peak Hill resource estimate?
  • Can the Golden Treasure and Jubilee zones be modelled as one continuous body with sufficient resource confidence?
  • Will the Westgold ore purchase agreement translate the growing resource into a defined development and production plan?
