Auravelle strikes gold at Sheoak

Auravelle Metals (ASX:AUV) has released results from its November 2025 reverse circulation (RC) drill program at the Sheoak prospect, within the Nuckulla Hill Gold Project in South Australia.

The latest drill program consisted of 11 RC holes covering a total of 1,638m and was designed as a follow up to previous exploration. 

The results show high-grade gold mineralisation of 28m @ 3.4 grams per tonne gold from 48m, including 4m @ 12.7g/t gold and 4m @ 5.6g/t gold, and remains open at depth. 

Additional highlights include 8m @ 2.2g/t gold from 80m, including 4m @ 4.0g/t gold and 16m @ 1.3g/t gold from 56m, including 4m @ 2.0g/t gold. The Sheoak gold trend has been defined over 600m to date and remains open to the north, south, and at depth.

Managing Director Andrew Muir says that the latest results are a boom to the company “against the backdrop of continued strength in the gold market.”

“The latest round of RC drilling has intersected more strong grades and widths of mineralisation, demonstrating the significant potential of the system,” Muir says.

“We are already planning additional drilling at Sheoak to expand on these new exciting gold results. In addition, AUV plans to have multiple gold-focused drill programs lined up for 2026 including: regional aircore drilling at Nuckulla Hill that will be closer to BGD’s Tunkillia Gold Project; first-pass drilling at the highly prospective Skye Project in SA adjacent to Marmota Limited’s (ASX:MEU) Golf Bore gold deposit, as well as further aircore and follow-up drilling at Crowne east of Kalgoorlie in WA.”

Auravelle continues its program of groundwork and exploration. Results from the company’s soil sampling program at Nuckulla Hill and Tunkillia North are expected in January 2026. The crown heritage survey is planned for February, and then additional Crown aircore drilling in mid to late Q1 and follow-up drilling at Sheoak and other prospects is expected in late Q1/early Q2.

Auravelle Metals is exploring for precious, base, and specialty metals, with projects in South Australia and Western Australia.
