Lefroy Exploration Limited reports strong grade control assay results from its Lucky Strike gold deposit, confirming consistent high-grade mineralisation. The near-completion of drilling supports expanding potential and progressing toward production, all funded by a profit share partner with no upfront costs required by the company.
Lefroy Exploration Limited has reported encouraging assay results from its grade control drilling program at the Lucky Strike Gold Deposit. The company’s drill program, which now exceeds 75% completion, has yielded multiple high-grade, near-surface intersections that validate the current resource and geology model. Notable intercepts include 14 meters at 2.42 g/t Au (with a 1-meter section reaching 7.74 g/t Au), 7 meters at 4.55 g/t Au (including a 1-meter section at 25.4 g/t Au), and 4 meters at 7.95 g/t Au (which contained 2 meters at 13.1 g/t Au). These results were obtained from a detailed 8m x 5m grid pattern across the upper 40–50 meters of the northern pit design.
The announcement also outlined that the diamond drill program targeting deeper stages is complete, with geotechnical logging now underway and assay results expected in July. In parallel, a second reverse circulation drill rig is working on pump-test boreholes to support hydrogeological studies, with final reports anticipated later this month. All drilling activities at Lucky Strike are fully funded by Lefroy’s mine profit share partner, BML Ventures, which means no upfront costs for the company as it moves closer to its goal of reaching mining operations.
The technical details and robust grades confirm that the shallow high-grade zones, observed in previous announcements, continue to extend and could potentially enhance the overall resource estimate. Lefroy’s strategy involves leveraging these strong results to drive further expansion through future Stage 2 drill targets aimed at unlocking additional deposit potential. The comprehensive sampling and quality assurance protocols cited in the report underpin the reliability of the data and the company’s resource estimates, which currently peg Lucky Strike at an indicated resource of 1.27 million tonnes at 1.95 g/t Au (approximately 79,600 ounces).
Investors might view these developments with a positive outlook, as the consistent assay returns support the geological model and indicate potential for both near-term and long-term resource expansion. The full funding from BML Ventures and the methodical approach to both grade control and geotechnical testing add further confidence in moving swiftly toward production, targeted for early 2026.
Conversely, some caution is warranted. While the current results are promising, the further diamond drilling and hydrogeological studies will be critical in confirming the deeper potential of the deposit. Market uncertainties related to mineral prices, execution risks in exploration, and the inherent unpredictability of early-stage mining projects are factors to consider. Nonetheless, the strong technical indicators coupled with solid funding arrangements present a case that balances potential upside against typical exploration risks.
