Highlights

  • Meeka Metals reports exceptional high-grade gold results from RC drilling at the Turnberry deposit, including one metre at 154.50g/t.
  • Drilling results are expected to bolster the company’s open-pit mining plan, set to commence in March 2025 at the Murchison Gold Project in Western Australia.
  • Meeka Metals shares are trading at 8.5 cents as the company continues exploration at Turnberry and St Anne’s deposits.

Meeka Metals Ltd (ASX:MEK) has announced highly encouraging results from its reverse circulation (RC) drilling campaign at the Turnberry deposit within its Murchison Gold Project in Western Australia. These results come as the company gears up for the start of mining operations in March 2025.

The standout assays from Turnberry include:

  • Six metres at 26.47 grams per tonne (g/t) gold from 59 metres, including one metre at a remarkable 154.50g/t.
  • Four metres at 30.19g/t gold from 81 metres, including two metres at 58.03g/t.

These high-grade intercepts highlight the exceptional prospectivity of the Turnberry deposit, part of Meeka’s broader Murchison Gold Project. The recent phase of drilling, completed in December 2024, consisted of 145 holes, with results from 42 of them already assayed. Exploration is set to continue at both the Turnberry and St Anne’s deposits throughout the March quarter, further defining the resource potential.

Managing Director Tim Davidson expressed optimism about the results, stating, “The outstanding grades reported from Turnberry reinforce the quality of the Murchison Gold Project and its ability to support our open-pit mining plan. With mining operations set to commence in March, these results add to our confidence in delivering value to shareholders.”

The Murchison Gold Project is strategically significant for Meeka Metals as the company positions itself as a mid-tier gold producer. The Turnberry deposit, in particular, plays a pivotal role in the project’s development, with high-grade zones offering strong potential for near-term production.

As Meeka advances its plans, its focus on ongoing exploration at Turnberry and St Anne’s highlights the company’s commitment to expanding its resource base. With the March 2025 commencement of mining operations just weeks away, the latest drilling results provide a solid foundation for Meeka’s open-pit mining strategy.

Meeka Metals shares have been trading steadily at 8.5 cents, reflecting cautious optimism among investors.
