Godolphin Resources Limited discovers two high-grade prospects at its Lewis Ponds project, with rock chip assays up to 5.11 g/t gold and 5.78% copper. This encouraging exploration development underscores significant resource expansion potential in Australia’s ancient, mineral-rich Lachlan Fold Belt.

Godolphin Resources Limited has reported encouraging assay results from two new exploration targets at its Lewis Ponds project in New South Wales. The company’s recent geological mapping and surface sampling have identified the Cesar and Britannia prospects, both located outside the current resource estimate area, with rock chip assays showing up to 5.11 grams per tonne gold at Cesar and up to 5.78% copper along with 0.80 grams per tonne gold at Britannia. The Britannia prospect stands out with its significant copper anomalies and an induced polarisation (IP) signature, where a 15 mV/V chargeability anomaly peaks at around 25 mV/V—about five times the background level—hinting at a substantial accumulation of sulphide mineralisation. Meanwhile, the Cesar prospect, a historically worked area yet to be drill-tested, recorded rock chip results that reinforce the possibility of expanding the known high-grade areas of the Lewis Ponds mineral system. Management is optimistic that these discoveries may represent a new mineralised lens within the Lewis Ponds system, an assertion supported by the resemblance of the new high-grade gold and copper occurrences to the nearby established resource which currently includes inferred estimates of 398,000 ounces of gold and 15.9 million ounces of silver. The company plans further detailed geological mapping and additional sampling to better define drill targets, with follow-up field work also poised for other historic prospects in the vicinity. From a sentiment perspective, bullish indicators include the breakthrough potential for significant resource expansion beyond current estimates, the strong IP anomaly coinciding with high-grade rock chip results at Britannia, and a management team actively planning follow-up geophysical surveys. On the bearish side, the current data remains largely at the exploration stage with surface samples and historic workings, meaning further drilling is needed to confirm the depth and continuity of these new mineralised zones. The dual nature of these results presents both early promise and inherent exploration risks for investors, particularly those new to trading in resource exploration sectors.
