Renegade effect on early exploration shots at Fireball

Renegade Exploration (ASX:RNX) has identified gold and silver rock chip samples from the beginning of exploration at the Fireball Ridge Project in Nevada.

The company returned rock chip samples with grades including 1.38% copper, 2.29 grams per tonne gold, and 12.8g/t silver; 3.28g/t gold, 9.4g/t silver, and 0.21% copper; and 1.82g/t gold, 10.3g/t silver, and 0.1% copper.

Renegade will continue to investigate the silver-gold mineralised trend at Fireball to search for continuity of mineralisation in the upcoming exploration season.

Executive Chairman Robert Kirtlan says the rock chip samples confirm the potential of two gold, copper, and silver zones at Fireball.

“Fireball is an underexplored area with mappable gold and silver historic workings to follow up,” Kirtlan says.

“Renegade now has three advanced gold-silver projects located in the highly endowed Nevada Walker Lane Trend, Broken Hills, Caisson including the recently acquired Fireball Ridge.

“Encouraging field work results at all projects is rewarding the company’s vision and increasing the opportunity for success given their proximity to recent and historical gold-silver and copper discoveries.”

Renegade Exploration is an Australian based exploration and development company with assets in both Australia and North America.

The company is at 8.30am tomorrow presenting at the RIU Explorers Conference in Fremantle, Western Australia, held from 17-19 February 2026. Renegade will be presenting at 8.30am AWST on Wednesday 18 February.

Mining.com.au is a media partner for the conference.
