Platina Resources Limited (ASX:PGM) has outlined a fully funded gold exploration strategy for 2026, focused on advancing exploration across its Western Australian portfolio. The program is designed to progress multiple projects through permitting, drilling, and resource definition with an emphasis on large-scale drilling in the Laverton Gold District.
Extensive Drilling Program Planned
Platina’s 2026 exploration program includes more than 20,000 metres of aircore and reverse circulation drilling, with the majority scheduled for the first half of the year. The drilling campaign will focus primarily on the projects within the Laverton Gold District, including the Mt McKenna, Sunrise Bore, and Mt Morgans South projects.
Programs will be staged to maintain continuous momentum, enabling execution synergies and a steady stream of results and market updates as projects progress through permitting and target definition.
Focus on the Laverton Gold District
The Laverton Gold District is a highly prospective region hosting multiple world-class mines and gold deposits. It is supported by the Laverton township a well-established hub, offering excellent infrastructure, access to essential services, and proximity to several gold processing facilities.

Project-Specific Exploration Priorities
At Mt McKenna, back-to-back drilling programs are scheduled to commence early in 2026. The planned work will target multiple priority zones across more than 20 kilometres of prospective greenstone stratigraphy.
At Sunrise Bore, resource definition RC drilling is planned following the grant of the relevant tenement. The program will target a prospective gold system with a mineralised corridor that has not been drilled since 1997.
At Mt Morgans South, exploration and drilling activities are expected to progress following transaction completion. The program will focus on a suite of shear and intrusion-related gold targets.
The Beete project is scheduled for exploration later in 2026, adding further scope to Platina’s expanding gold portfolio.
Overall, Platina’s fully funded 2026 exploration program positions the company to deliver consistent news flow and meaningful exploration outcomes. With a large-scale drilling campaign, focus on a proven gold district, and multiple projects advancing in parallel, Platina is well placed to unlock value across its Western Australian gold portfolio during the year ahead.
