Tempest Minerals Ltd (ASX:TEM) has commenced drilling at its 100% owned Range Project, located in the Mt Magnet region of Western Australia. The program will cover approximately 1,500 metres of reverse circulation (RC) drilling, aimed at testing several high-priority gold targets, including areas where recent surface sampling identified gold-bearing rock chips.
The Range Project covers an area of 20km² in a highly prospective gold district and has previously yielded gold discoveries along a 7km strike length. The current program will include drilling at the Britannia Well extensions, which show potential mineralisation in banded iron formation and felsic porphyry units, similar to those found at the nearby historical Britannia Well mine and has 1gpt gold in in rock chips along strike of the open pit
Tempest Minerals outlined that the current drilling campaign will continue testing high-priority gold targets at the Range Project, while an auger sampling program is underway across the project’s southern area. Both the drilling and sampling programs are scheduled for completion in October 2025, with results expected to be released by mid-Q4.
