Adelong Gold (ASX:ADG) has completed an initial soil sampling program at its wholly owned Apollo Gold Project in Victoria.
The focus of the program was to target extensions of historic surface geochemistry anomalism that is associated with the Meade’s and Woolfe’s/Falk’s open cuts. These have also been Adelong’s recent drilling focus.
The results highlight the continuous nature of soil geochemistry south of Meade’s and Woolfe’s/Falk’s historic workings, with historic soil geochemistry extended an additional 200m south of the existing zone.
Managing Director Ian Holland says that “these results validate the extensive gold in soil anomalism identified by historical soil sampling and extend that anomalism south by an additional 200m”.
“The extent of the anomaly suggests the potential for a much bigger system that remains untested outside the immediate focus area of recent Adelong drilling,” Holland says.
The exploration licence at the Apollo project covers 102km2 and hosts a number of gold targets. The company is particularly interested in an area immediately south of the Woolfe’s/Falk prospect, where a gold in soil assay of 259 parts per billion gold is located.
Infill soil and rock chip sampling is being planned for later in 2026, with a follow-up drilling plan under evaluation.
Adelong Gold is an Australian exploration company progressing towards gold production at the flagship Adelong Goldfield Project in New South Wales. Recent acquisitions in 2025 include the Apollo Gold and Antimony Project and the Laurison Gold and Antimony Project.
