Lachlan Star Limited has reported encouraging early assay results from its reconnaissance aircore drilling at the Killaloe Gold Project in the Norseman region of Western Australia. The company’s ongoing program has revealed several shallow gold intercepts that highlight new open-ended gold-bearing structures alongside the established Duke main gold trend. Among the notable results are an intercept of 12 meters at 0.50 g/t from 8 meters, and another showing 8 meters at 0.84 g/t from 12 meters – with part of that interval recording 4 meters at 1.25 g/t. Additional intercepts include 8 meters at 0.44 g/t from 48 meters and 24 meters at 0.33 g/t from surface. The drilling program, which also incorporates reverse circulation techniques, has returned promising gold-in-soil anomalies and encountered outcropping quartz veins that support the potential for additional near-surface gold oxide mineralisation. Infill drilling over the Duke Prospect has produced further technical intercepts, such as 24 meters at 2.15 g/t gold (including 4 meters at 5.60 g/t) and 23 meters at 1.23 g/t gold, reinforcing the possibility of discovering multiple lode-gold systems within the project area. The current phase, spanning approximately 2-3 weeks with results to be reported as they are received, underscores the company’s low-cost, boots-on-ground approach to discovery. Lachlan Star Limited is strategically positioned within a highly prospective greenstone belt of the Eastern Goldfields, an area renowned for its significant gold endowment. The project lies relatively close to major gold operations, adding further appeal from a strategic investment point of view. Plans for follow-up aircore and reverse circulation/diamond infill drilling are underway, reflecting the company’s commitment to unlocking the full potential of the Killaloe Project, while also looking to expand its exploration activities at its gold-copper projects in New South Wales. The news triggers a split in sentiment among market watchers. On the bullish side, the early assay results and delineation of multiple gold-bearing targets in relatively under-explored terrain are seen as promising indicators of near-term discovery potential. The technical intercepts, coupled with the project's strategic location within established gold provinces, suggest a strong upside for investors willing to take on early-stage exploration risk. Conversely, the bearish perspective emphasizes that these results are preliminary, with some intercepts showing low to moderate grade and uncertainties still surrounding the true widths of the mineralisation. Additionally, as with any early-stage exploration program, significant risks remain until further drilling confirms a continuous, economically viable deposit.
