High-Grade Gold and Copper Assays Open Up Immense Potential

Sampling results of up to 129 g/t gold and 8.4% copper in new mineralised corridor never previously exposed to modern exploration

Labyrinth Resources Limited (ASX: LRL) (‘Labyrinth’ or ‘the Company’) is pleased to announce high-grade gold and coper assays from sampling in a new area at its Comet Vale Project in WA’s Eastern Goldfields.


  • Assays of 34 samples reveal very high grades of gold and copper as well as silver, cobalt and nickel
  • The samples span a ~3km corridor running north-south and located ~1.5km east of the Sand Queen gold mine
  • The results include:
    • LCV0029: 129 g/t Au, 0.1% Cu
    • LCV0033: 39.1g/t Au, 6.3% Cu and 271 g/t Ag
    • LCV0028: 28.9 g/t Au, 3.0% Cu, 0.07% Co and 0.5% Ni
    • LCV0017: 3.6 g/t Au, 8.4% Cu and 9.2 g/t Ag
    • LCV0021: 8.5 g/t Au, 0.3% Cu
    • LC0032: 1.2% Ni and 0.06% Co
  • Elevated Au, Cu, Ni, Co, W, Bi, Zn and Li are indicative of a rich mineralogical system
  • Nine of the samples ran significantly over limits of analysis method requiring secondary analysis of Au, Ag, Cu, Ni, Fe and Cr
  • Comet Vale hosts a Resource of 619,000t @ 4.8g/t for 95,710oz; This sits around the Sand Queen Mine1
  • In light of these outstanding results, Labyrinth intends to devise follow-up exploration; All options will be considered, including geophysics, further sampling and drilling
The particularly high-grade gold and copper grades highlight the under-explored potential of the Comet Vale tenements, most of which have never been exposed to modern exploration techniques.

A NNW-SSE trending corridor of interest has been defined from the recent samples. The corridor lies ~1.5km from Sand Queen Mine.

Labyrinth Chief Executive Jennifer Neild said: “We suspected that these samples would come back with high grade copper based on the primary and secondary minerals present, but these results are truly exceptional.

“Our strategy has been to go back to basics and to leave no stone unturned. Importantly, many of the mineralised samples lie outside previous work areas.

“The results clearly show the immense potential of Comet Vale, not just for gold but also for copper. Given that these were the first samples taken 1.5km from the mined trend and the fact that there has been no focused, modern exploration conducted there until now, we are extremely encouraged.

“As a result, we are moving quickly to devise the follow-up exploration program in this area.

“We are also awaiting assays from the recently completed 386-sample soil program on the western side of Comet Vale where multiple small pits exist”.

The report outlines the key trends influencing the gold market and price over the past year, noting that the metal experienced a remarkable run in 2024, driven by improving investor sentiment toward the yellow metal.

Throughout the year, the gold price surged at a blistering pace, starting 2024 at around the US$1,980 per ounce mark and reaching a peak of US$2,790 at the end of October. Since then, gold has continued to climb, setting repeated record highs since the start of 2025 — the most recent occurred on May 6, when gold reached US$3,437.

Harvest Gold CEO Outlines Strategic Play in Québec’s Gold-rich Abitibi Region

Harvest Gold (TSXV:HVG) President and CEO Rick Mark believes the company has a strong position in Québec's Abitibi greenstone belt, emphasizing the highly prospective Urban-Barry belt, "a very well-known mine-producing belt."

In an interview with the Investing News Network, Mark also honed in on Québec's supportive mining environment and accessible properties, which keep exploration costs "relatively very inexpensive."

“The exciting thing about the Urban-Barry belt is it contains a (gold) deposit called Windfall, which Gold Fields (NYSE:GFI) just bought from Osisko Mining,” Mark noted. “Now, the interesting thing about that as well is that the belt itself is basically owned by Gold Fields, except for the three large properties that Harvest Gold has in the belt.”

Satellite Imagery and Gold Exploration

Exploring for gold is a costly endeavor that often comes with great risks, especially for junior mining companies.

These small-scale companies are faced with the challenge of locating a metal that is extremely rare, and even if they do find it, they need to ensure gold is present in economically viable quantities.

That’s where the use of satellite imagery and remote sensing comes in. Using satellite systems scanning for gold helps explorers survey land without having to invest heavily in equipment or develop on-site infrastructure.
