Resource Growth Hinges on Deeper Drilling as Kairos Advances Mt York Project

Strong Drill Results Reinforce Mt York Potential

Kairos Minerals Ltd (ASX:KAI) has announced the final batch of drill results from its 2025 program at the Mt York Gold Project in Western Australia’s Pilbara region. The latest assays from 11 holes at the Main Hill Extension prospect reveal encouraging gold mineralisation, highlighted by an intercept of 8 metres at 3.81 grams per tonne gold, including a high-grade 1 metre section at 11.16 grams per tonne. These results build on previous drilling that confirmed continuity of mineralised zones along a 1,500-metre strike.

Resource Upgrade and Aggressive Drilling Ahead

The company is preparing an updated Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) for Mt York, expected in the first half of 2026. This will be the first resource update to incorporate the extensive 27,000 metres of drilling completed last year, including the newly explored Main Hill Extension area. With the resource base currently at 1.4 million ounces, Kairos is optimistic about further growth potential, particularly as significant portions of the extension remain undrilled below 100 metres depth.

Looking ahead, Kairos plans an ambitious drilling campaign of up to 50,000 metres across its Mt York and Roe Hills projects throughout 2026. The company aims to deploy multiple diamond rigs to infill and extend known mineralisation, targeting deeper zones down to 300 metres and exploring major undrilled targets along the 4.2-kilometre gold corridor. This aggressive approach underscores Kairos’ commitment to expanding its resource footprint and advancing project economics.

Financial Strength and Development Pathway

Supported by a strong cash position of $35 million, bolstered by recent payments under a strategic agreement, Kairos is well funded to execute its exploration and development plans. The company recently secured a new mining lease over Mt York, a critical milestone that enables progression towards a Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS) scheduled for later this year. The PFS will integrate the updated resource data and provide a clearer picture of the project’s viability and potential production profile.

Mt York’s geology, characterised by structurally controlled, banded iron formation-hosted gold mineralisation, offers promising opportunities for resource expansion. Kairos’ technical team has identified multiple high-grade shoots and structural complexities that warrant further drilling to fully delineate the deposit’s size and grade continuity.

Broader Exploration Ambitions

Beyond Mt York, Kairos is advancing exploration at its Roe Hills Project in the Eastern Goldfields near Kalgoorlie. This portfolio includes targets for gold, nickel, cobalt, and rare earth elements, with drilling planned to establish a maiden resource. The company’s diversified approach across multiple commodities and regions positions it to capitalise on emerging opportunities in Western Australia’s mineral-rich landscape.
