Hamelin Gold (ASX:HMG) has been granted a second exploration licence at the Venus Gold Project within the Murchison district, located near Cue in Western Australia.
The licence covers the interpreted southern extension of the Tuckabianna Shear Zone, where the company intends to conduct a 50m aeromagnetic survey in January 2026.
Data collected will be used to allow for a more refined target generation program, with drilling expected to begin after the survey is completed in February.
Managing Director Peter Bewick says the project now comprises 300km2 of granted tenure, which marks Hamelin as “one of the largest tenement holders in the Cue region”.
“Tenure covers the southern extensions of the Tuckabianna and Comet gold corridors and significant areas of unexplored greenstone stratigraphy,” Bewick says.
“Hamelin’s Venus Gold Project sits in the heart of the 15 million ounce Murchison goldfield. Our initial exploration program involved surface soil sampling across the western and southern extensions of the 1 million ounce Comet gold deposit.
“The Venus Gold Project is an exciting new addition to Hamelin Gold’s exploration portfolio and the commencement of exploration activities at the project is an important milestone for the company.”
Hamelin Gold is a Perth-based gold explorer focused on discoveries in the Tanami Province and Yilgarn District.
