Accelerate Resources (ASX:AX8)

Comet Gold Project Review Following Gold Discovery Along Strike

Accelerate Resources Limited (“AX8”, “Accelerate” or the “Company”)is pleased to announce the commencement of a gold prospectivity review and reinterpretation at its Comet Gold Project (“Comet”) inspired by the recent exploration success by Caprice Resources at their Island Gold Project located 10km to the south-west in Western Australia’s Murchison Goldfield.


Key Points

  • Accelerate commences comprehensive review of its Comet Gold Project in the Murchison region following the recent high-grade gold discovery at Caprice Resource’s (ASX: CRS) Island Gold Project, just 10km to the south-west.
  • The 100% owned Comet Gold Project hosts significant gold mineralisation within Banded Iron Formation (BIF) lithologies, similar to those at The Island Gold Project.
  • Notable previous drill intercepts at Comet include 9m at 3.89 g/t Au, 4m at 7.08 g/t Au and 6m at 2.29 g/t Au (see details in main body text).
  • Accelerate’s 100% ground holding represents 73km2 with over 26km of prospective strike, strategically situated 19 km from Westgold Resources 1.2 million tonne per annum Tuckabianna gold mill in the +20Moz Murchison Goldfields of WA

Building on the Caprice high-grade gold discovery and the historic success of former ASX- listed Musgrave Minerals (now Ramelius Resources ASX: RMS) along the Break of Day trend, Accelerate is advancing its investigation of Comet by prioritising Banded Iron Formation (BIF) mineralisation at the Comet East, Comet North and the Antarctica Prospects (Figure 1). The review is expected to be complete by end of the Quarter and results will guide next steps in exploration including drill testing of BIF-hosted mineralisation targets along strike of the Caprice discoveries and the Break of Day trend.

Gold Targets

Drilling campaigns by Accelerate and historic explorers, including Silverlake Resources, have delivered significant assay results across three prospects at Comet, with the most recent program completed in 2020 during the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Comet East Prospect (Figure 2) is situated approximately 1 km east of the former Comet-Eclipse Gold Mine of Westgold Resources (ASX: WGX), where wide-spaced shallow drilling during the 1990’s intersected significant gold mineralisation including 4m at 7.08 g/t Au from 27m (PRB305), and 3m at 4.53 g/t Au from 60m (PRC269)1.

Trump’s Auto Tariffs Ignite Global Trade Tensions and Market Uncertainty

The global auto industry was thrown into turmoil on Wednesday (March 26) as US President Donald Trump announced sweeping 25 percent tariffs on imported vehicles and auto parts.

The tariffs, set to take effect in early April, mark a significant escalation in Trump’s ongoing trade war and are expected to raise car prices, disrupt supply chains and provoke retaliatory measures from key US allies.

The White House is framing the measure as a strategy to boost domestic manufacturing and address what Trump has called an unfair reliance on foreign production. However, the tariffs apply not only to foreign automakers, but also to American brands, which rely heavily on imported parts and assemble many of their vehicles outside the US.
