Kuniko (ASX:KNI) is looking to begin phase one of drilling at the Commonwealth Gold-Silver Project in the Lachlan Ford Belt of New South Wales, with mobilisation beginning on 11 February 2026.
The company has planned a program to cover 1,200m of land within the project, targeting extensions of known mineralisation at the Silica Hill, Commonwealth Main, and Commonwealth South prospects.
Managing Director Maja McGuire says the company is excited to begin drilling at a “shallow, high-grade gold-silver system” that hosts a pathway for resource growth.
“Historical drilling has confirmed the fertility of the system through multiple high-grade intercepts, and we see strong potential to systematically expand mineralisation along strike and at depth,” McGuire says.
“With imminent drilling and significant district-scale upside, Kuniko is entering a high-impact phase, and we look forward to keeping investors updated as results come through.”
Drilling at Commonwealth Main will test down-plunge extensions to known mineralisation, targeting interpreted structural controls while assessing the continuity of mineralisation.
Previous drill results from the prospect include 7m @ 6.3 grams per tonne gold, 496g/t silver, 7.2% zinc, 2.9% lead, and 0.2% copper from 91m.
Kuniko will conduct step-out drilling at Silica Hill, targeting down dip and along strike extensions, with holes designed to test coincident geophysical responses.
Drilling at Commonwealth South will test the southern extension of the mineralised corridor. Historical drilling campaigns returned 7m @ 25.5g/t gold, 62g/t silver, 3.8% zinc, 1.6% lead, and 0.1% copper from 88m.
The company has engaged Titeline Drilling as a contractor for this drilling campaign.
Kuniko is a mineral explorer focused on advancing precious metals and battery metals projects.
