Moho Resources Extends Strike of High-Grade Gold Vein at Bush Chook Project
Moho Resources (ASX: MOH) has confirmed that it has now mapped a high-grade gold vein over a strike length exceeding 130 metres at its Bush Chook project in Western Australia.
The new work followed drone surveys and geological mapping, which also indicated an apparent thickness of around 20m.
The company has completed fresh rock chip sampling along the length of the vein, and expects assay results in the coming weeks.
Exploration Builds on Historical Results
The vein dips between 30 and 80 degrees to the southeast—a geometry that, when combined with the thickness Moho identified, offers multiple potential drill orientations and increases confidence in the vein’s continuity.
Historical rock chip sampling returned assays of up to 13.4 grams per tonne gold, supporting the interpretation that the outcropping quartz vein carries consistently strong mineralisation.
Moho’s new round of sampling aims to validate those earlier grades and confirm whether the mineralisation is continuous along the full strike length.
In parallel with field work, the company has reprocessed data from a hyperspectral HyMap survey at Bush Chook that revealed anomalies in mineral abundance coincident with historic soil geochemistry, highlighting multiple targets across the project area.
The company has also deployed drone orthophotography to generate high-resolution imagery, allowing geologists to trace structures and alteration zones that could host additional gold mineralisation.
Regional Setting Highlights Opportunity
Bush Chook sits in the Mosquito Creek Basin, an area of the Pilbara Craton known for turbidite-hosted gold deposits that shares key geological traits with the Mallina Basin, home to the Hemi deposit now owned by Northern Star Resources (ASX: NST).
These include the timing of basin development, the presence of major crustal faults and late felsic intrusions, and the style of mineralisation.
For explorers, such similarities highlight the potential for large-scale discoveries in ground that has seen relatively limited modern exploration.
The project also neighbours AIM Mining’s Nullagine operation, which produced more than half a million ounces of gold between 2012 and 2019, underscoring the proven endowment of the district.
Aggressive Exploration Approach
Moho chair Peter Christie said the company is committed to moving quickly from acquisition to discovery.
“The company is progressing an aggressive exploration strategy to define new gold resources in the Mosquito Creek Basin by utilising new technology and historical data to rapidly define new drill targets,” Mr Christie said.
The next stage of work will involve completing assay analysis from the latest rock chips, repeating historical soil sampling programs and refining mapping to identify priority areas for drilling.
Moho has signalled that it intends to advance to drilling as soon as results justify, with the aim of testing both the extended quartz vein and the new anomalies highlighted by the HyMap survey.
