Great Boulder Resources advances drilling across Eaglehawk, Ironbark, and Side Well South prospects
New mineralisation zones identified with multiple high-grade intersections beyond earlier lode outlines
Resource growth initiatives underway with both reverse circulation and aircore drilling campaigns
asx 200 today Great Boulder Resources (ASX:GBR) has reported progress across multiple prospects within its Side Well Gold Project located near Meekatharra in Western Australia. The company, which operates within the mining sector of the broader Australian indices, continues to prioritise drilling programs designed to advance understanding of mineralisation across key zones.
Drilling at Eaglehawk prospect
At the Eaglehawk prospect, Great Boulder Resources (ASX:GBR) has expanded drilling activity with a campaign of reverse circulation drilling. Initial assays from part of the program have returned intersections outside the current lode interpretation, highlighting areas of new mineralisation. Geological observations have indicated additional west-dipping veins that may contribute to resource extensions.
Eaglehawk drilling has been focused both on resource definition and on testing ground between the Mulga Bill and Eaglehawk zones. Multiple intersections have been reported from within this program, some displaying strong grades across significant widths, reinforcing the broader mineralised system of Side Well.
Side Well South activity
In addition to Eaglehawk, drilling has now commenced at the Side Well South prospect. A reverse circulation rig is operating across the northern extension of the Golden Bracelet area. The campaign is designed to support the first resource estimate at Side Well South, which forms part of the company’s ongoing exploration pathway.
Further exploration will also include aircore drilling, expected to begin across the larger Side Well project area. This upcoming work is intended to refine geological interpretation and extend growth programs into the next phase of activity.
Ironbark infill drilling program
Parallel to Eaglehawk and Side Well South, Great Boulder Resources (ASX:GBR) has undertaken an infill drilling program at the Ironbark prospect. This included reverse circulation drilling to support technical studies linked to future development pathways. Reported intersections confirmed both grade continuity and additional mineralisation below the current pit design.
Waste characterisation drilling completed at Ironbark also identified intersections stronger than expected in thickness and grade. These results are expected to inform further assessment of the deposit and its geological setting.
Current project resource and focus
The Side Well Gold Project currently hosts a defined resource base with material contained across Eaglehawk, Ironbark, and Mulga Bill deposits. Recent drilling has reinforced the scale of the mineralised system and highlighted additional areas of interest beyond the original target lithology. With ongoing exploration across multiple prospects, the company continues to advance its work program in Western Australia.
