Hamelin Gold (ASX:HMG) has identified the ‘high-grade’ Aurora gold lode at the Day Dawn Project in the Paterson province in Western Australia, after reviewing historical drilling datasets.
The company uncovered results including 4m @ 4.3 grams per tonne gold, 7m @ 17.1g/t gold from 16m, 3m @ 51.1g/t gold from 35m, and 2.5m @ 7.6g/t gold from 127.1m to the end of the hole.
Hamelin intends to conduct follow up drilling at Day Dawn to confirm geometry findings and test for extensions to the lode. The company will also test for potential parallel gold lodes.
Managing Director Peter Bewick says uncovering this lode “underscores the value of disciplined, data-driven reassessment of historical geological data”.
“Located in the highly endowed Paterson gold province and proximal to the world-class Telfer Mine, Hamelin’s recent work demonstrates the Day Dawn Project hosts multiple high-priority targets,” Bewick says.
“These targets include newly interpreted strike and plunge extensions of the Aurora Lode, adjacent parallel gold-bearing structures, and other similarly oriented structures within the project area.
“Drill testing of the Day Dawn prospects will be a key focus for Hamelin in 2026.”
The Day Dawn Project is located 10km northwest of Greatland Gold’s (ASX:GGP) Telfer Gold-Copper Mine, which has a resource of 3.2 million ounces of gold and 117,000 tonnes of copper.
The project covers an area of around 20km2 and is expected to receive an exploration licence in April 2026.
Hamelin Gold is a gold explorer based in Perth, Western Australia, focused on discoveries in the Tanami Province and Yilgarn District.
