Highlights

Catalina Resources has commenced a 1,500-sample systematic gold-in-soil program at the Kirkalocka Gold Project.

The campaign aims at identifying and prioritising RC drill targets.

The exploration campaign follows a technical review that confirmed multiple historical gold mineralised zones.

Soil sampling results will be combined with historical drilling, geological mapping and geophysical data to support the company's planned drilling program.

Catalina Resources Limited (ASX:CTN) has launched its first field exploration program at the Kirkalocka Gold Project in Western Australia , marking a key stage in the company's Mid-West Gold Portfolio exploration strategy. The company has commenced a 1,500-sample gold-in-soil program designed to refine historical geochemical datasets, evaluate prospective structural corridors, refine known gold anomalies and generate reverse circulation (RC) drill targets.

This soil sampling program represents Catalina's first major field activity since completing the technical assessment of its recently acquired Mid-West Gold Portfolio .

Historical Review Identifies Multiple Gold Mineralised Zones

Technical review confirmed several gold mineralised intercepts within the project area, supporting the prospectivity of the Kirkalocka tenure. Significant historical intersections include-

6m @ 1.38 g/t Au from 27m, including 3m @ 1.40 g/t Au from 27m (KKA795);
6m @ 1.79 g/t Au from 42m, including 3m @ 3.02 g/t Au from 42m (KKA796); and
1m @ 4.66 g/t Au from 34m (CWRC-6807800-002)

Project Positioned Near Established Gold Infrastructure

The Kirkalocka Gold Project is located within the southern Wydgee–Meekatharra Greenstone Belt , an area hosting multiple historically identified gold targets associated with underexplored greenstone belt and interpreted structural corridors.

The project is situated adjacent to the Kirkalocka Gold Mine , which hosts an estimated Mineral Resource of approximately 240,000 ounces of gold , and is also close to the 2 million tonnes per annum Kirkalocka Gold Processing Plant , which is being progressed towards recommencement in 2026 by Gylden Resources Limited .

Exploration Advances Towards Planned Drilling

Catalina has completed several activities ahead of its planned drilling program, including target generation exercise and historical technical review, field reconnaissance across priority target areas and obtaining approval for its Eligible Mining Activity (EMA) Notice .

The company is currently undertaking soil sampling and heritage assessment , with laboratory assay results expected to be incorporated into historical drilling, geophysical datasets and geological mapping. This information will be used to refine and prioritise RC drill targets , supporting the next phase of exploration at Kirkalocka.
