BPM Minerals (ASX:BPM) has reported ‘significant’ gold mineralisation at all four targets tested during its latest reverse circulation (RC) drilling program at its Beachcomber prospect in Western Australia.
The company intersected gold at the Beachcomber North-West, Fault, and Central prospects, confirming the broader Beachcomber system as a large gold system consisting of multiple mineralised lodes associated with the Yellow Dam Shear Zone.
Results include 1m @ 85.61 grams per tonne gold from 91m at Beachcomber Central and 15m @ 1.40g/t gold from 80m at Beachcomber North-West.
The results represent the final batch of assays from BPM’s recently completed 7,426m, 46-hole RC drilling program at Beachcomber, part of the Forelands Gold Project in the Eastern Goldfields of Western Australia.
“These results are an important step in demonstrating the scale of what we have at Beachcomber,” CEO Oliver Judd says.
“We set out to test four previously untested soil anomalies, and now every one of them returned significant gold, including a standout metre at 85.61g/t at Beachcomber Central.”
The Beachcomber North-West prospect returned multiple significant intercepts across four east-west drill traverses spaced 150-200m apart.
Key results include 12m @ 1.37g/t gold from 114m ending in mineralisation, 5m @ 3.94g/t gold from 121m, including 1m @ 16.89g/t gold and 3m @ 3.37g/t gold from 56m.
Beachcomber Central returned the highest individual 1m sample during BPM’s drilling programs to date, with 1m @ 85.61g/t gold from 91m alongside 1m @ 8.13g/t gold from 65m. Additional results include 6m @ 1.61g/t gold from 51m and 5m @ 1.07g/t gold from 96m.
Beachcomber Fault returned 9m @ 0.78g/t gold from 112m and 9m @ 0.75g/t gold from 149m in hole FLRC040, alongside 5m @ 1.00g/t gold from 84m in FLRC039.
BPM Minerals is currently prioritising various targets at Beachcomber prior to drilling, while the maiden RC drilling program at the Bonnie and Clyde Prospect remains on track to commence in Q3 2026, subject to receipt of necessary approvals.
