WIN Metals Ltd (ASX: WIN) (“WIN” or “the Company”) is pleased to announce it has been awarded government EIS co-funding for proposed drilling of its Ganymede gold target located directly to the south-east of the Butchers Creek gold deposit.
Highlights
The grant will cover 50% of the direct drilling costs up to a maximum refund of $57,500. An initial two (2) diamond drillholes are planned to test the Ganymede IP geophysical anomaly previously identified but left undrilled by Meteoric Resources in 20221. Notably Ganymede has an IP signature equivalent to the Butchers Creek gold deposit. Drilling is planned to commence this 2025 field season with assay results scheduled approximately 6 weeks thereafter.
WIN Metals Managing Director and CEO, Mr Steve Norregaard, commented:
“We welcome the financial support of the Western Australian government via the 31st round of EIS grant funding.
This target represents a compelling opportunity to enhance the already significant Butchers Creek gold project. Without government support this target may well have remained untested.
Success with this would potentially be a step change for underpinning the economics of the project.
This support will fast track testing and we look forward to seeing what may be at Ganymede.”
Background
The Ganymede gold target is located to the south-east of the Butchers Creek open pit and Mt Bradley gold mines illustrated in Figure 1. Meteoric’s 2022 IP geophysical survey identified Ganymede to have a similar geophysical signature to the known Butchers Creek gold deposit. It is believed the Ganymede target is a potential fold repeat of the Butchers Creek gold deposit that has yet to be drill tested as is illustrated in Figure 2 below.

HIGHLIGHTS
Great Boulder’s Managing Director, Andrew Paterson commented:
“It’s really exciting to see immediate progress at Side Well South, hitting a broad intersection of shallow gold in our first RC hole. We’ve now confirmed primary gold mineralisation on two of the initial AC discoveries announced earlier in the year, with assays pending from another 16 RC holes.”
“Side Well South is shaping up as an important target for future resource growth at the project. Our initial AC program intersected gold in four new areas with geological settings analogous to our Ironbark and Saltbush deposits, which is very promising. We also have several large, coherent geochemical targets further south in the Tal Val area that are yet to be drill tested.”
“Our AC drilling in the central corridor has extended the Eaglehawk deposit by approximately 200m, and it still remains open to the north. We also drilled six AC holes into the Mulga Bill East area - which hasn’t been drilled for two years – and found more gold along that trend, so there will be more follow-up work in both areas.”
“We have also formalised our near-term growth expectations at Side Well in the form of an Exploration Target, which is based upon upside expectations within our current resources and active gold prospects. The target doesn’t include any of the high-priority geochemical targets that we’ve not yet drilled, so I think it’s a fairly conservative number for what we can see right now. It’s an Exploration Target and not a resource estimate, so please read the disclaimers.”
“There is huge upside potential beyond these current target areas, and we look forward to illustrating that as our exploration programs unfold.”

Brightstar Resources (ASX:BTR) is fast emerging as one of the most compelling gold development stories on the ASX, underpinned by a large-scale resource base, disciplined execution, and multiple near-term catalysts, according to a new report from analyst firm East Coast Research. With production ramping up and a pivotal definitive feasibility study (DFS) on the horizon, investors are increasingly focused on the company’s potential to transition into a +200,000 oz per annum gold producer by 2029.

Rick Mark, CEO of Harvest Gold states: “This soil geochemical survey, remarkably, the first of its kind on this property, has yielded a breakthrough in our understanding of the gold potential surrounding the Kiask River Mineralized Corridor. These soil geochemistry results, layered upon historic information and Harvest’s recent geophysical, prospecting and mapping results produce target opportunities previously unseen. The geo team is meeting this week to prioritize drill targets.”
Results from the soil geochemical program* highlight distinctive gold targets; the greater than 98th percentile Au Z-Score** values define eight zones in and parallel to the Kiask River Mineralized Corridor (KRMC) (Figure 4). Three of the gold trains are immediately to the south and down-ice of the KRMC, confirming known mineralization from previous drilling and prospecting results. Another five (5) gold trains are parallel to the KRMC, to the North and the South of the KRMC. These targets are also associated with magnetic highs and geologically by diorite and gabbro’s in the local stratigraphy (Figure 5, Figure 6).
The soil sampling program, in conjunction with the recently released results of the prospecting and geological mapping was carried in the central part of the Mosseau property The soil sampling program has confirmed existing drill targets along the Kiask River Mineralized Corridor, as well as identified new targets in the central part of the Mosseau property. Previously recognized mineralization in the central part of the property along the Kiask River Mineralization Corridor, identified by Vior in 2017, included 2.93 g/t Au over 5.0 m from drilling and grab samples up to 12.9 g/t Au. The mineralization was confirmed and extended along strike from results of the 2024 prospecting and mapping program (Press release May 15, 2025)
The soil sampling program included lines at a 200 m spacing, perpendicular to the known ice flow direction, and sample stations at every 25 m. The significance of the anomalies is not only determined by the gold grade and Z-score*, but also by the contiguity of the anomalous samples.
*Soil sampling surveys are not definitive, and the results are still at an early stage of interpretation, with no guarantee of a mineral discovery
**The anomaly thresholds were determined by IOS using a probabilistic approach. In that the assays results are first transformed into logarithmic data. The Z-score is then calculated for each element of each sample. This significantly limits the range of values and enables the use of a normal distribution for the probability modelling. The anomaly threshold for an element is determined by the difference between the sample’s Z-score and the expected Z-score for a log-normal population with an average of 0 and a standard deviation of 1, which represents the regional background as confirmed by the analysis of IOS’s large database. Any sample deviated from that regional trend is likely related to an anomalous population.

QA/QC Statement
All soil samples collected during the program were securely transported to Activation Laboratories (Actlabs) in Ancaster, Ontario, an independent and ISO/IEC 17025-accredited laboratory. Sample analysis included aqua regia digestion on 30g aliquots followed by ICP-MS analysis for major and trace elements (method UT-1-30g). Digestion with aqua regia consists of a solution of 75% hydrochloric acid and 25% nitric acid, which is highly aggressive and oxidizing, allowing metals, sulphides and gold to be dissolved. The contents of silicate minerals only partially enter solution, however, which subtracts them from the results reported, since solubilization depends on the mineral species and metals present. Thus, most of the iron and magnesium present in these ferromagnesian minerals is solubilized, leaving a residue of insoluble silica and alumina. However, digestion with aqua regia does not bring refractory minerals into solution, including quartz, feldspars, zircon and several oxides. For 5 samples with aluminum results above the UT-1-30g limit, aluminum was analyzed by ICP-OES after lithium borate fusion. 68 certified reference materials (Oreas 46 and Oreas 47), internal reference material (MRIHB23-2 and Till09) and blanks pulverized at <90 microns were added to the samples by IOS before they were sent to Actlabs. The Company follows industry-standard QA/QC protocols, including the insertion of certified reference materials, blanks, and duplicates to ensure the accuracy and precision of the results.
