Highlights

  • Thunderbird Resources (THB) advances fieldwork at Kookabookra and Rockvale sites

  • Priority areas identified through historical data review now accessible

  • Activities focus on dual commodity targets across gold and antimony

Thunderbird Resources (ASX:THB), a company operating in the Australian exploration sector, is progressing its gold and antimony programs in New South Wales. The ASX 200 company holds full ownership of the Kookabookra and Rockvale projects and is increasing field-based activity following recent geological findings. The exploration licences are focused on precious and specialty metals in regions historically linked to mineral production.

Advancement at Kookabookra and Rockvale

Recent project updates confirm that Thunderbird Resources (ASX:THB) has completed a preliminary review of previous records and mineral data across the tenements. As a result, access has been secured to several areas previously identified as mineralised zones. Fieldwork programs are now being mobilised to support expanded geological mapping and sampling efforts across both sites.

Historical Data Supporting Exploration Focus

Archived exploration records and past production notes have informed current plans for on-ground programs. This includes data outlining geological formations associated with gold and antimony occurrences. These insights have enabled Thunderbird Resources (ASX:THB) to refine areas for follow-up work, focusing activity where historical results were concentrated.

Exploration Infrastructure and Field Planning

The company has initiated logistics to support upcoming fieldwork, including personnel, mapping equipment, and sample processing systems. This stage is designed to examine structural geology, host rock characteristics, and surface mineral expressions that align with historical exploration references. No drilling is currently underway, with early-stage mapping taking precedence.

Dual Commodity Strategy Across NSW Sites

Thunderbird Resources (ASX:THB) maintains exploration licences that support parallel targeting of gold and antimony. Both metals are present in known mineralised corridors in the region. The company’s exploration approach includes phased programs at each site, aligned with geological interpretations of existing datasets and surface findings.

Focus Areas Identified for Ongoing Work

Work is concentrated on specific areas within the Kookabookra and Rockvale projects that were identified in earlier studies. These areas include mapped structures and past workings where field teams can apply current exploration techniques. The project focus aligns with broader regional mineralisation trends in New South Wales.
