Adyton Resources (TSX-V:ADY) announces that it has increased indicated mineral resources by 131% to 404,000oz of gold (Au) at its Gameta Gold Project in Papua New Guinea.
The updated National Instrument 43-101 mineral resource estimate (MRE) incorporates 4,000m of infill drilling completed in 2025. It comprises an indicated mineral resource of 8.94 million tonnes (Mt) grading 1.41 grams per tonne Au containing 404,000oz and an inferred mineral resource of 6.52Mt grading 0.99g/t Au containing 207,000oz.
The Gameta Project represents a key growth opportunity within Adyton’s Fergusson Island portfolio and is being advanced alongside the company’s Wapolu Project, where it targets a potential restart of historical mining operations in Q4 2026.
Located 30km east of the historic Wapolu mine, Gameta benefits from proximity to existing infrastructure and potential operational synergies. Adyton says it is evaluating a stand-alone processing facility at Gameta while leveraging shared resources, logistical advantages, and existing infrastructure.
Both Gameta and Wapolu host near-surface mineralisation, being developed as open-pit mines. The updated Gameta MRE likewise confirms mineralisation remains open at depth and along strike to the southeast.
CEO Tim Crossley says the updated estimate represents a significant milestone for the company.
“The 131% increase in indicated resource to 404,000oz Au, together with an indicated grade of 1.41g/t Au highlights the quality and scale of the Gameta deposit,” Crossley says.
“This updated MRE strengthens our understanding of the project and provides an important platform as we advance technical studies, permitting activities, and future exploration across Fergusson Island.”
Adyton is progressing development activities at Wapolu, including construction of the phase one process plant module, expected to be completed in late September 2026.
The company maintains a total MRE inventory within its Papua New Guinea portfolio comprising indicated resources of 441,000oz Au and inferred resources of 2.09 million ounces of gold across its Fergusson Island and Feni Island projects.
Adyton Resources is a junior mineral explorer company focused on advancing gold and copper projects in Papua New Guinea.
