Drilling Update at Mt York, Pilbara WA

First hole intercepts pegmatite at Lucky Sump Prospect plus wide zones of silicification-sulphide hit in core drilling to extend resource

Kairos Minerals (ASX:KAI) owns 100% of the flagship 1.1 Mozs Mt York Gold Project that was partially mined by Lynas Gold NL between 1994 and 1998. Pre-feasibility work is progressing rapidly underpinned by a +20,000m diamond and RC drilling campaign to collect important information for further resource expansion, metallurgical testwork, mining and process engineering to determine viability and optimal pathway to develop a sustainable, long-lived mining project. Current resources at a 0.7 g/t Au cutoff grade are shown in the table below.


Highlights Lucky Sump

  • First hole drilled at Lucky Sump (KMY216) intercepted 5m of pegmatite; Assays pending
  • Pegmatite intervals of 2-3m drilled in two other holes at Lucky Sump
  • In light of these results, further RC holes are being planned at Lucky Sump and at Zakanaka, 2km north of Lucky Sump
  • RC samples will be sent for multi-element analysis to determine lithium grade and Hylogger-3 for mineralogy

Highlights Mt York Gold Project

  • Sulphide zones intercepted in all diamond drill holes, extending and expanding interpreted mineralised zones
  • Spectacular wide and significant sulphide-silicified zones drilled outside of current resource envelope at Main Hill (KMYD070)
  • Nine dimond holes for 2,844m completed in the 89-hole programme
  • Core cutting and sample preparation to begin this month
Kairos Managing Director, Dr Peter Turner said: We have made a highly promising start to our first lithium drilling programme, successfully intersecting pegmatites at Lucky Sump. We eagerly await both the mineralogical assessment and laboratory analyses of the samples. New planned holes at Lucky Sump and Zakanaka will be drilled upon receipt of the lithium assays from the initial programme.

“At our flagship Mt York Gold Project, drilling has intersected spectacularly wide silicified- sulphide zones within the mine stratigraphy in both hangingwall and footwall positions to the main mineralised banded iron formation.

“We expect to continue seeing very thick sulphide-silicified zones known to be associated with mineralisation outside the current resource estimate as we have just seen in hole KMYD070, because this deposit is very much untested by drilling.

“We feel extremely confident that our targeting strategy based on 3D modelling and structural interpretation will extend the mineralisation significantly beyond the current 1.1 Mozs resource in preparation for the prefeasibility study”.

What Was the Highest Price for Gold?

Gold has long been considered a store of wealth, and the price of gold often makes its biggest gains during turbulent times as investors look for cover in this safe-haven asset.

The 21st century has so far been heavily marked by episodes of economic and sociopolitical upheaval. Uncertainty has pushed the precious metal to record highs as market participants seek its perceived security.

And each time the gold price rises, there are calls for even higher record-breaking levels.

High-Grade Gold Confirmed at Bronzewing South

Initial assays returned for visible gold zone logged in diamond drill core~40m south of the Bronzewing Mining Lease, with drilling continuing

Hammer Metals Ltd (ASX: HMX) (“Hammer” or the “Company”) is pleased to provide an update on recent exploration progress at its 100%-owned Yandal Gold Project in Western Australia. Diamond drilling continues with the first batch of assays now received for the zone of visible gold reported to the ASX on 2 September 2025. Drilling of the diamond tail to drill-hole BWSRCD081 was completed a depth of 561.7m.

The diamond drilling program has continued with two diamond tails completed at the Bronzewing Central Target, located approximately 1.7km to the south of the Eastern Target Zone. A follow-up diamond tail will commence shortly at the Eastern Target, with drilling anticipated to conclude towards the end of September. Results from this program will continue to be submitted to the laboratory in batches, with results anticipated to be received throughout September and into mid-October.

Top 5 Canadian Mining Stocks This Week: Guardian Exploration Gains 94 Percent

Welcome to the Investing News Network's weekly look at the best-performing Canadian mining stocks on the TSX, TSXV and CSE, starting with a round-up of Canadian and US news impacting the resource sector.

On Thursday (September 11), Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney revealed the first tranche of projects selected by the newly created Major Projects Office. The goal of the office is to accelerate timelines for projects deemed to be in the national interest, which include infrastructure, natural resources and technology.

The projects include the Phase 2 expansion of LNG Canada’s Kitimat facility, the development of Foran Mining's (TSX:FOM,OTCQX:FMCXF) McIlvenna Bay copper-zinc mine in Saskatchewan, and an expansion of Newmont (TSX:NGT,NYSE:NEM,ASX:NEM) and Imperial Metals' (TSX:III) Red Chris copper-gold mine in Northern BC.

Editor's Picks: Gold Knocks Out Inflation-Adjusted High, Silver Breaks US$42

Gold's record-setting price run continued this week, with yet another new all-time high in the books. Silver also fared well, breaking US$42 per ounce.

According to Bloomberg, gold has now also surpassed its inflation-adjusted all-time high of US$850 per ounce, which it set more than 45 years ago on January 21, 1980. The news outlet notes that at the time the US was dealing with currency issues, inflation and recession concerns.

These are problems that sound all too familiar today. This week brought the release of the latest US consumer price index (CPI) data, which shows a 0.4 percent month-on-month increase for the all-items index — that's ahead of estimates and the most since the start of 2025.
