Highlights

  • Brightstar’s Sandstone Hub drilling reveals strong gold intercepts.
  • Bull Oak deposit shows potential for large-scale open pit operations.
  • Ongoing drilling supports plans for expanding Mineral Resource Estimate.

Brightstar Resources (ASX:BTR) has delivered another promising update from its ongoing exploration campaign at the Sandstone Hub, located in Western Australia’s East Murchison region. The latest drilling results underscore the site’s significant mineral potential and support Brightstar’s strategy to expand its existing Mineral Resource Estimate of 1.5 million ounces at 1.5g/t gold.

Breakthrough Results from Bull Oak and Sandstone North

The company recently completed a maiden Reverse Circulation (RC) drill program at the Bull Oak deposit, part of its wider Sandstone Hub operations. This phase featured five extensional drill holes, including standout assay results such as 178 metres @ 0.70g/t gold from 16 metres in hole BORC25005. This included higher-grade segments like 1 metre @ 20.4g/t gold from 165 metres, pointing to robust mineralisation at depth.

Brightstar also reported early-stage yet encouraging findings from the Sandstone North Prospect, where significant intercepts included 2 metres @ 7.54g/t gold from 27 metres and 6 metres @ 2.26g/t gold from 88 metres. These results highlight mineralisation beneath historic workings, revealing new areas for follow-up exploration.

Bull Oak’s High-Tonnage Potential

The Bull Oak Camp, particularly the Bull Oak deposit, continues to demonstrate potential for high-tonnage open pit development. Deeper drill intercepts such as 212 metres @ 1.20g/t gold from 28 metres in hole SRC1027 add to the growing body of evidence. Furthermore, historic high-grade results – including 7 metres @ 38.9g/t gold (MSGC1292) and 9 metres @ 31.4g/t gold (MSGC508) – contribute to the confidence in the resource scale.

Forward-Looking Exploration Strategy

Brightstar is accelerating its exploration strategy across three key hubs: Sandstone, Laverton, and Menzies. Drilling is already active at the Fish Deposit within the Laverton Hub, while the next stages will include both surface and underground diamond drilling at the Yunndaga deposit in Menzies. These programs aim to fast-track Mineral Resource growth and progress toward a Pre-Feasibility Study targeted for the first half of calendar year 2026.

The company’s proactive approach positions it to benefit from the broader momentum in Australian mining, particularly as investor interest grows in promising ASX200 stocks.

Brightstar’s continued focus on strategic exploration, combined with robust drill results, highlights the potential for long-term resource growth and development within one of Western Australia’s most historic gold regions.
