Summary
Norwest Minerals Limited has announced the results of its Phase 2 Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling program at the Bulgera Gold Project. The drilling targeted downdip extensions and infill zones within the existing Mineral Resource Estimate area, focusing on the Price-Mercuri gold lodes. This phase confirmed the continuity of gold mineralization at depth, with noteworthy intercepts such as 5 meters at 3.9g/t Au from 238m in Hole 25018. The results bolster confidence for the upcoming Mineral Resource Estimate update. The geological consistency observed across phases suggests potential conversion to Indicated Resources by 2026. Next steps include updating the Mineral Resource Estimate and conducting metallurgical testing to finalize heap leach operation parameters.
