Kali Metals (ASX:KM1) has identified four new gold prospects at its Marble Bar Gold Project in Western Australia, with rock-chip samples returning grades up to 53.10 grams per tonne gold.
The company collected 48 rock-chip samples during May and June 2026, discovering the Stug, Vickers, Pershing, and Chiha gold prospects across its 118km2 project area located 10km east of Marble Bar town.
The Stug Gold Prospect delivered the strongest results, with six samples returning 53.10g/t Au, 6.00g/t Au, 5.50g/t Au, 5.00g/t Au, 3.90g/t Au, and 0.10g/t Au from a 200m-long northwest-southeast-trending quartz vein system.
The mineralisation features potassic quartz veining with pyrite crystals and is gently dipping to the northeast.
Vickers Gold Prospect returned grades of 5.80g/t Au, 2.00g/t Au, and 0.90g/t Au, while Pershing Gold Prospect produced results, including 1.70g/t Au, 1.30g/t Au, 1.10g/t Au, and 1.00g/t Au. The Chiha Gold Prospect recorded 1.80g/t Au.
Additional sampling strengthened existing prospects. The Sherman prospect’s southeast extension returned 8.80g/t Au, Churchill prospect’s new east zone delivered 4.70g/t Au, and Tiger 2 prospect recorded 1.70g/t Au and 1.20g/t Au.
Kali completed 1,215 soil samples across newly acquired tenements, defining gold-in-soil anomalies up to 0.434g/t Au.
The largest coherent anomaly extends 6.5km east-west within tenement E45/6430, which has no previous drilling. A second significant anomaly extends 1.1km northwest from the Tiger Gold prospect into tenement E45/6389.
Building the Marble Bar pipeline
“These latest results, with assays up to 53g/t gold in surface samples, continue to demonstrate the wide distribution of surface gold mineralisation at our Marble Bar Gold Project,” Managing Director Paul Adams says.
“Our team has identified multiple additional high-grade gold prospects across several kilometres’ length of favourable surface outcrop, materially enhancing the Project’s exploration pipeline and drill-testing potential.”
Kali expects final diamond drilling and reverse circulation drilling results from the Tiger, Churchill, and Sherman prospects within three to four weeks.
KM1 plans to extend mapping at the four new prospects and conduct initial reconnaissance over the new gold-in-soil anomalies.
Kali Metals is a gold and lithium explorer advancing the Marble Bar Gold Project in Western Australia’s Pilbara region, with additional exploration projects in New South Wales.
