Highlights
- Far East Gold has released positive assays from drillholes KSD025 and KSD026.
- KSD025 confirmed historical results and identified a new high-grade zone at depth not recorded in earlier drilling.
- KSD026 demonstrated a down-dip extension of the high-grade mineralisation, confirming continuity at greater depths.
- Mineralisation in both holes remains open down-dip and along strike.
- Initial 10-hole drill program at Sua has been completed, with assays pending from six holes.
Far East Gold Limited (ASX:FEG) has released new assay results from drillholes KSD025 and KSD026 at its Sua prospect, located within the Idenburg CoW license area in Papua, Indonesia. The drillholes were designed to confirm and extend a previously identified high-grade gold zone intersected in historical drillhole KSD008. Assays from both holes have met these objectives.
To date, the company has received assays for 4 of the 10 drillholes completed at the prospect. Notably, all four holes have intersected high-grade gold mineralisation across several stacked veins.

KSD025 Confirms Historical High-Grade Mineralisation
Drillhole KSD025 was completed as a twin of historical hole KSD008, which had reported 18.19 g/t Au over 6m from 106m, including 3m at 34.95 g/t Au. The new drilling has confirmed this high-grade zone and returned several significant intersections, including
- 16 g/t Au over 2m from 68m to 70m
- 42 g/t Au over 7.7m from 106.3m to 114m, including 34.65 g/t Au over 0.7m
- 43 g/t Au over 0.5m was intersected from 125m to 125.5m
The latest results have identified an additional deeper zone which was not identified in the historical drilling.
KSD026 Extends Mineralisation Down-Dip
Drillhole KSD026 was drilled approximately 50m deeper down-dip to test the same high-grade zone. The hole intersected several mineralised intervals, including
- 82 g/t Au over 4.5m (120m to 124,5m) including 7.14 g/t Au over 1m (122.m to 123m) and 51 g/t Au over 0.5m (122.5m to 123m)
- 1 g/t Au over 12.5m (132.5 to 145m) including 8.54 g/t Au over 2.1m (135.9 to 138m)
These results confirm the down-dip extension of the favourable zones intersected in KSD008 and KSD025.
The mineralisation remains open both down-dip and along strike to the northeast.
Broader Drilling Program and Resource Context
A total of 10 drillholes, for 1,836m, have now been completed, concluding the planned initial drill program at Sua.
The program was designed to confirm historical high-grade intersections and test extensions along strike and at depth. Assays from the remaining six drillholes are pending and are expected to further expand the defined mineralised area.

Following the Sua drilling results, upcoming efforts will target down-dip and along-strike extensions to support a potential expansion of the resource estimate. Additionally, surface mapping at the southwest Kwaplu prospect is expected to define targets for a maiden scout drilling program.
