Lightning Minerals' Mt Turner Gold Project: new drill targets ahead

Lightning Minerals managing director Troy Brice talked with Proactive about the company’s completed Western Zone soil geochemistry program at the wholly owned Mt Turner Gold Project in northern Queensland, as it works toward refining the next round of gold drill targets. Brice said the program was a significant step forward for the company’s exploration strategy, with the field team collecting 551 geochemical soil samples and 12 rock samples across the Western Zone. The work focused on a five-kilometre structural corridor that Lightning Minerals Ltd has identified as a potential extension of the gold mineralised system it has been exploring at Mt Turner. Brice said the program had been completed “ahead of schedule, under budget and beautifully safely,” adding that the company was pleased with both the execution and the early field observations. The Western Zone program follows the recent Drummer Fault soil campaign and adds to the company’s broader geological and structural model across Mt Turner. Brice said the work reinforced the company’s understanding of the wider gold system and would help define phase three drilling targets toward the end of the exploration season. He also discussed upcoming work, including expected assay results by mid-August and plans for further activity at the Warby tungsten target as Lightning Minerals Ltd continues to progress its broader exploration portfolio before the wet season.
