Larvotto Resources (ASX:LRV) has received assays from its ongoing diamond drilling campaign at its wholly owned Hillgrove Antimony-Gold Project in New South Wales.
The company currently has four drill rigs turning across the Metz and Freehold prospects, targeting resource growth as a part of its near-mine and regional exploration strategy.
Larvotto drilled three holes at Clarks Gully for a total area of 505.9m in October and November 2025 to test the depth and strike extension of antimony, gold, and tungsten mineralisation, while also testing the presence of splays and parallel mineralisation and validating previous surveys and drilling.
Highlights from drilling at Clarks Gully include 6.4m @ 12.92 grams per tonne gold equivalent from 208m, including 4.1m @ 19.76g/t gold equivalent from 208m; 3.6m @ 8.74g/t gold equivalent from 245.6m; and 8m @ 8.35g/t gold equivalent from 160m, including 1.6m @ 22.81g/t gold equivalent from 160.4m.
Larvottos says drilling confirmed “significant” antimony-gold mineralisation to continue at depth and along strike, towards the north. The company also uncovered further tungsten mineralisation associated with antimony-gold lodes.
Tungsten highlights include 0.4m @ 2.97% tungsten trioxide from 192.4m and 2.4m @ 1.53% tungsten trioxide from 60.9m.
Managing Director Ron Heeks says these drill results have strengthened the company’s understanding of the mineralised system.
“Drillhole CLG127 targeted an untested resistivity anomaly to the north, with results confirming mineralisation associated with that response, validating the effectiveness of our geophysical targeting approach. Significantly, this zone remains open,” Heeks says.
“The hole was also extended to close a knowledge gap within the main Clarks Gully lode, returning a standout intercept that exceeded currently modelled grades.
“Drillhole CLG126 tested the depth extension of the mineralisation below the planned open pit. The exceptional intercept of 6.4m @ 12.92g/t gold equivalent provides important geological and grade continuity in this key area.
“Also, in drillhole CLG126, a potential newly identified parallel lode was intercepted in the footwall of the main Clarks Gully mineralisation. This intercept of 3.6m @ 8.74g/t gold equivalent highlights further near-mine upside and warrants further drilling to test this new zone.”
Larvotto Resources is an Australian explorer focused on developing its dual-commodity Hillgrove Project, which is set to begin production in 2026.
