Highlights

Catalina’s review of historical exploration data has confirmed multiple gold mineralisation zones across its recently expanded Mid-West project portfolio.

The acquisition of the Pithara, Kirkalocka, Tallering and Warriedar projects has significantly expanded the company’s gold exploration footprint in Western Australia.

Historical drilling at the Pithara Project returned notable gold intersections, including 5m at 2.70g/t gold and 7m at 1.76g/t gold.

Multiple gold targets have been identified at the Kirkalocka and Tallering projects, with historical exploration programs at Tallering showing silver and copper mineralisation.

Field activities, heritage assessments and drill planning activities are underway.

Catalina Resources Limited (ASX:CTN) has completed the technical review of historical exploration data across its recently acquired Mid-West gold portfolio in Western Australia. The assessment, covering the Pithara, Kirkalocka, Tallering and Warriedar projects, confirmed multiple occurrences of historical gold mineralisation. The review follows the company's recent acquisition of additional exploration assets and a AUD 3 million capital raising.

Portfolio Expansion Strengthens Regional Presence

The latest acquisition has significantly increased CTN’s presence across Western Australia’s gold regions, adding the Pithara, Kirkalocka, Tallering and Warriedar projects to an existing portfolio that includes the Evanston, Yerilgee, Peak Hill, Deflector North, Big Bell and Boodanoo projects.

The comprehensive review incorporated historical drilling, geological, geochemical and geophysical information. The review is contributing to target generation and prioritising activities as the company prepares for the next stage of exploration across a portfolio comprising former producing areas, advanced-stage exploration assets, and several underexplored mineralised trends.

Notably, the portfolio includes tenements located adjacent to the Kirkalocka Gold Mine, which hosts an estimated mineral resource of approximately 240,000 ounces of gold, and near the Kirkalocka Gold Processing Plant, where operations are planned to recommence in 2026.

Pithara Delivers Notable Historical Gold Intercepts

The review highlighted several significant historical drill results from the Pithara Project, located within the Dalwallinu Greenstone Belt.

Among the reported intercepts were-

5m @ 2.70g/t Au from 29m, including 1m @ 8.53g/t Au from 31m (DTR949)
7m @ 1.76g/t Au from 89m (PTRC008), 2m @ 2.45g/t Au from 8m, including 1m @ 3.51g/t Au from 8m (DTR1176); and
2m @ 1.74g/t Au from 4m, including 1m @ 3.48g/t Au from 4m (DTR1175).

Kirkalocka Review Identifies Multiple Gold Zones

At the Kirkalocka Project, historical drilling confirmed several mineralised zones. Key historical intersections included-

28m @ 1.09g/t Au from 57m including 1m @ 9.69g/t Au; and
21m @ 1.04g/t Au from 127m including 5m @ 2.30g/t Au.

Tallering Shows Gold, Silver and Copper Potential

The Tallering Project, covering approximately 236 square kilometres, returned evidence of both precious and base metal mineralisation.

Historical drilling intersected 1m grading 90.3g/t silver, 2.03% copper and 0.89g/t gold. Surface sampling produced high-grade results of up to 100.6g/t gold, along with elevated silver, copper and tungsten values.

Peak Hill and Deflector North Add Further Exploration Opportunities

At Peak Hill, historical drilling intersected gold mineralisation including-

10m @ 1.43g/t Au from 65m, including 5m @ 2.70g/t Au from 65m; and
2m @ 1.37g/t Au including 1m @ 2.23g/t Au.

Meanwhile, at Deflector North, historical aircore drilling recorded 10m at 3.21g/t gold from surface, with additional mineralised intercepts identified along at least 800m of strike length.

Catalina stated that historical exploration at Deflector North remains relatively limited as few drill holes were completed across the tenure.

Exploration Activities Underway

The company has commenced field activities across the portfolio, including site inspections aimed at validating historical exploration results, supporting the planning of future exploration activities and validating outcomes for desktop review. Heritage assessments and land access negotiations are also progressing across multiple project areas.

The company expects to complete target prioritisation, field reconnaissance and drill planning in the coming weeks.
