Flynn Gold Limited (ASX: FG1, “Flynn” or “the Company”) is pleased to announce the discovery of significant gold mineralised quartz veining at the new Grenadier Prospect at the Company’s flagship Golden Ridge Project, located in north-east Tasmania (see Figure 1).
HIGHLIGHTS
- New in-situ gold vein system discovered during recent surface sampling and trenching programs at the Grenadier Prospect, within the Golden Ridge Project in NE Tasmania
- The gold vein system was discovered by Flynn’s exploration team following up gold-in-soil anomalies with 29 surface float and in-situ rock chip samples returning assay grades including 16.0g/t Au, 13.2g/t Au, 12.0g/t Au and 10.2g/t Au
- Assays from channel sampling of three initial trenches has confirmed in- situ quartz-sulphide veining, with significant mineralised intercepts including:
- 1.3m @ 6.6g/t Au, including 0.4m @ 17.7g/t Au (Trench 3)
- 1.0m @ 2.2g/t Au (Trench 2)
- 6.4m @ 1.3g/t Au, including 2.0m @ 3.0g/t Au (Trench 1)
- Trenching has exposed the vein hosted mineralisation over a 50 metres strike length (open) with follow-up trenching underway testing for strike extensions and parallel vein zones
- Significantly, there is no evidence of historical workings in the area
- These latest results continue to emphasise the increasing scale of the intrusive-related gold system at Golden Ridge, which has been delineated over a total length exceeding 9km

Managing Director and CEO Neil Marston, commenting on the results, said:
“We are very pleased to report the discovery of gold mineralisation in quartz veins in trenches at our Grenadier prospect, which forms part of our Golden Ridge Project in north-east Tasmania.
“The trenches were excavated to test gold-in-soil anomalies delineated as part of our on-going regional soil sampling campaign. The gold mineralisation at Grenadier is coincident with the granodiorite-metasediment contact zone, which is the same contact that hosts the extensive Brilliant and Trafalgar vein systems located along strike to the east.
“These results continue to demonstrate the increasing scale of the intrusive-related gold system at Golden Ridge, as well as highlighting the effectiveness of soil sampling as a first- pass exploration tool for identifying gold mineralisation in this environment.
“Soil sampling coverage of the Golden Ridge Granodiorite and its contact zones is continuing to expand. Our aim is to generate further gold anomalies to target with follow-up trenching, sampling and drilling as we continue to define the broader extents of this large, high-grade gold system.”

Newmont Uses Drones, Remote Equipment to Reach Trapped Miners in Red Chris Mine
Newmont (TSX:NGT,NYSE:NEM) has deployed drones and a remote-controlled scoop to help rescue three workers trapped underground since Tuesday (July 22) at its Red Chris gold mine in BC.
The incident occurred during work on a non-producing section of the mine’s underground development project.
According to the company, the three contract employees were initially located more than 500 meters beyond the site of the first collapse. They were directed to relocate to a designated refuge chamber before a second fall of ground sealed off the access way and disrupted communication.
“Following the first event, contact was established with the individuals and confirmation was received that they had safely relocated to one of multiple self-contained refuge bays,” Newmont said in a Wednesday (July 23) statement. “The refuge stations are equipped with adequate food, water and ventilation to support an extended stay.”
The company is using aerial drones to assess underground conditions, while a remote-controlled scoop has been deployed from Newmont’s Brucejack mine, also in BC.
It will begin clearing the estimated 20 to 30 meters of debris obstructing the tunnel.
Communication with the trapped miners remains severed after the second collapse, but the company said the men are believed to be sheltering in a chamber designed to support up to 16 people.
Operations at Red Chris have been suspended to focus entirely on rescue efforts. The company said that it has activated emergency protocols and assembled specialized rescue teams from nearby mine sites.
While the full extent of the damage underground is still being assessed, the use of unmanned equipment is intended to reduce risk to emergency personnel while the area remains geotechnically unstable.
Newmont has not provided an estimated timeline for reestablishing contact or extracting the workers, but emphasized that all available technology and expertise are being brought to bear.
The Red Chris mine, located roughly 80 kilometers south of Dease Lake and more than 1,000 kilometers north of Vancouver, is operated by Newmont under a 70/30 joint venture with Imperial Metals (TSX:III,OTC:IPMLF).
The operation has been producing since 2015, though the incident occurred in a non-producing development zone.
Last year, Red Chris produced approximately 40,000 ounces of gold, making it one of the smaller contributors in Newmont’s global portfolio. The company acquired its majority stake in the mine through its 2023 purchase of Newcrest Mining, which previously managed the asset.

"Think strategically when you think about gold, and keep that allocation in mind," he said.
He also shares thoughts on the importance of central bank allocations and the potential impact of tariffs and US economic conditions on gold during the second half of 2025.

Falco Resources Eyes Governmental Decree for Horne 5 Gold Project Before Year End
Falco Resources (TSXV:FPC) has entered the final stages of the environmental authorization process for its flagship Horne 5 gold project in Quebec, with a government decision expected by late 2025.
“(An environmental analysis) report should be submitted to the minister in the next few months, and the final decision has to be done by decree,” said Luc Lessard, president and CEO of Falco Resources, in an interview with Investingnews.com. The company is hoping the decision will come sometime late in 2025, Lessard added.
Located in the prolific Abitibi region, the Horne 5 project is central to Falco’s strategy to support Quebec’s ambition to lead the energy and technological transition. Lessard emphasized that the project’s mineral profile, particularly its zinc and copper content, makes it well-positioned to align with Quebec’s broader critical and strategic minerals development plan.
The chief executive also noted the Horne 5 project leverages several environmental innovations, including a set of measures to protect waterways and drinking water intake, the Implementation of a dust collection system to reduce metal emissions from mine ventilation by 98.64 percent, and the use of already disturbed sites unlikely to be rehabilitated without the mining project.
Falco is also looking to the future with significant exploration potential for the Horne 5 project, beyond its current deposit.
Falco owns about 67,000 hectares of land package in the Abitibi, Lessard noted. “That gives us the possibility to increase additional resources closer to the surface, add some feed to the central mill of the Horne 5 project, and that will increase the life of mine.”
