Highlights
- The company has received all assay results from September 2025 RC drilling at the Halo Project.
- Drilling extended gold mineralisation, which remains open along strike and down plunge.
- The program included 11 holes for 2,040m, targeting extensions along the Barnicoat Shear Zone.
- Results will support geological modelling and next-phase exploration within the Laverton Gold Project.
Catalina Resources Ltd (ASX:CTN) has received all assay results from the September 2025 reverse circulation (RC) drilling program at the Halo Project. The project, part of the Laverton Gold Project, lies along the Barnicoat Shear Zone (BSZ), which also hosts known gold deposits such as Mon Ami, Lily Pond Well, and Ida H.
The new results follow the earlier assays reported on 6 October 2025, which confirmed Halo as a mineralised gold system with potential for further extensions at depth and along strike.
Significant Gold Intersections
The final batch of assays has further extended mineralisation within the project area, with mineralisation remaining open down plunge and along strike. Key highlights include:
- 1 m @ 11.5 g/t Au from 114 m (LVRC10)
- 2 m @ 3.1 g/t Au from 48 m (LVRC12)
- 3 m @ 1.0 g/t Au from 118 m (LVRC12)
- 2 m @ 1.3 g/t Au from 109 m (LVRC12)
- 1 m @ 3.2 g/t Au from 149 m (LVRC15)
- 2 m @ 0.7 g/t Au from 62 m (LVRC09)
These results complement previously announced intercepts from the same campaign, including:
- 17 m @ 0.90 g/t Au from 44 m (LVRC06)
- 2 m @ 3.79 g/t Au from 190 m (LVRC07)
- 5 m @ 2.62 g/t Au from 217 m (LVRC07)
- 2 m @ 2.55 g/t Au from 58 m (LVRC08)
Overview of Drilling Program
The September RC program comprised 11 holes (LVRC06–LVRC16), spanning 2,040m. The campaign targeted both infill and step-out areas of previous drilling campaigns to test the mineralisation along the BSZ, which runs through the Halo Gold Project area.
Sampling was completed at 1 m intervals to provide detailed resolution across the mineralised zones. The drill holes were spaced 50 m apart along cross-sections designed to test geological and structural continuity.

Regional Context of Halo Project
Located within the Laverton gold district, one of Australia’s most prolific gold provinces, the Halo Project sits within 50 kilometres of major gold operations including Granny Smith, Sunrise Dam, and Wallaby. The area benefits from proximity to established haul roads, processing facilities, and transport corridors, providing flexibility for future exploration and development options.
Next Steps
The company has now received and verified all assay results, and plans to consolidate the full dataset to refine geological interpretations, evaluate the continuity and grade distribution of mineralisation, and determine the next steps to progress the Halo Project within the wider Laverton project area.
