Highlights
- Larvotto completed a 4,469-metre RC drilling program (59 holes) at Clarks Gully, extending and infilling the current resource of 266kt @ 3.8% Sb and 2.0g/t Au (10.6g/t AuEq).
Results suggest that Clarks Gully extends beyond the current resource along strike and at depth.
Larvotto’s share price up nearly 12% to 48.5 cents.

Project and Results Overview
The Clarks Gully RC drilling program, designed to infill and expand the existing resource, has successfully identified significant high-grade mineralisation zones. The results reveal consistent gold (Au) and antimony (Sb) grades across wide intercepts, underscoring the project’s bulk-tonnage potential.
Drill hole CLG124 delivered standout results, including 22 metres grading 9.87g/t AuEq, with a 4-metre section reporting an exceptional 28.31g/t AuEq. Similarly, hole CLG122 intersected 16 metres at 10.63g/t AuEq, demonstrating the continuity of mineralisation.
Investor Response
The announcement has bolstered investor confidence, driving LRV’s share price up nearly 12% to 48.5 cents. Market enthusiasm reflects the potential resource growth and the promising exploration upside at Clarks Gully.
Outlook
The strong assay results pave the way for further drilling and resource expansion at Clarks Gully. With an updated Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) slated for early 2025, Larvotto Resources is well-positioned to unlock additional value from its Hillgrove Project.
