Resolution Minerals (ASX: RML) is fast-tracking follow-up of its maiden gold drilling success, with a three-hole reverse circulation (RC) drilling campaign already underway at the Golden Gate prospect within its Horse Heaven project in Idaho.
Resolution has designed the RC holes to test to the north and south with the aim of establishing how far the gold mineralisation extends.
The program follows early hits at Golden Gate that included a maiden drill hole intersecting 189.2m at 1.30 grams per tonne gold from 34m, and two subsequent holes the company drilled last week that delivered further broad intervals of near-surface gold mineralisation.
Cost-Effective Program
With the three core holes all ending in mineralisation, Resolution is confident that Golden Gate is a large, open intrusion-related gold system.
Resolution believes the RC drilling program will expand its footprint in a fast and cost-effective manner ahead of the larger 50-hole drill campaign that is currently in the permitting phase.
The company has been particularly aggressive at Horse Heaven after only completing the project’s acquisition in July 2025, and is also targeting Horse Heaven’s significant critical minerals potential.
The project is located just six kilometres from Perpetua Resources’ high-profile Stibnite gold-antimony mine.
‘A Standout Result’
US chief executive officer Craig Lindsay called the three-from-three return a “standout result that confirms Gold Gate as a new gold discovery in a highly prospective and strategically important US critical minerals district.”
“The aim of this next program is simple—to extend the mineralised footprint and set up the platform for our much larger 50-hole follow-up drill program.”
“With drilling now underway, remaining core assays to come, and project wide exploration continuing, we are positioned for strong and sustained news flow as we advance Golden Gate,” he added.
