Positive Exploration Results at Havelock and Lucky Strike

Lefroy Exploration Limited (“Lefroy” or “the Company”) (ASX:LEX) is pleased to announce the results from its Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling campaign targeting the Havelock and Lucky Strike gold targets, which commenced in April 2024.


HIGHLIGHTS

  • Expansion of mineralised gold corridor at Havelock confirmed with significant assays returned including:
    • 5m @ 4.22 g/t Au from 145m, including 1m @ 12.6 g/t Au from 146m in LEFR404.
    • 7m @ 2.04 g/t Au from 37m, including 3m @ 4.3G g/t Au from 37m in LEFR406.
    • 6m @ 1.2G g/t Au from 60m, including 2m @ 3.20 g/t Au from 62m in LEFR418.
  • The Havelock mineralisation corridor now defined along a strike extending greater than 750m and remains open to the northwest and southeast.
  • Expanded mineralisation at Lucky Strike and southern Lucky Strike trend.
    • 5m @ 1.86 g/t Au from 157m, including 1m @ 5.7 g/t Au from 160m in LEFR411.
    • 10m @ 1.14 g/t Au from 82m, including 6m @ 1.65 g/t Au from 83m in LEFR414.
  • The Company is planning a regional aircore drilling campaign across the broader Havelock – Lucky Strike District and will include drilling in the highly prospective Location 45, freehold ground that has not received systematic Au exploration since 2007.

LEFROY CEO GRAEME GRIBBIN COMMENTED:

“The results provide further confirmation of previous geological modelling conducted by Lefroy after drilling campaigns in 2020 and 2022 across the prospective Lucky Strike and Havelock corridors.

“We are extremely encouraged by the similarities to Lucky Strike interpreted at Havelock, which Lefroy views as an emerging gold corridor with mineralisation now identified along a 750m strike zone, with clear room to extend.

“Coupled with our extensive regional aircore drilling campaign planned for late June, we will continue to unlock the potential of the surrounding district to host numerous gold centres and expanding our existing gold resource base.”

LUCKY STRIKE - HAVELOCK DISTRICT

The Lucky Strike – Havelock District straddles the regionally significant Mt Monger Fault, which is a primary control to gold mineralisation in the broader Kalgoorlie terrain. The district extends from Lucky Strike west to Erinmore and incorporates significantly underexplored corridors which are prospective for banded iron formation (BIF) hosted gold mineralisation (Figure 1).

Historic exploration of the BIF trends was limited to broad-spaced, shallow aircore (AC) drilling and previous exploration activity by LEX included the following results.

At Havelock, highly anomalous intersections were recorded in 2022 (refer ASX announce release 7 July 2022):

  • 3m @ 13.37 g/t Au from 118m in LEFR330.
  • 13m @ 1.82 g/t Au from 76m in LEFR331, including 7m @ 2.69/t Au from 78m.
  • 7m @ 1.48 g/t Au from 38m in LEFR326, including 2m @ 2.78/t Au from 41m.

At Lucky Strike, drilling activity last conducted by the Company (up to 2020) found several significant high- grade gold intersections within 150m (vertical depth) from surface (refer ASX announcement 26 February 2020) including:

  • 8m @ 18.66 g/t Au from 145m, including 5m @ 28.1g/t Au from 145m in LEFR217.
  • 22m @ 2.49 g/t Au from 63m in LEFR152.
  • 3m @ 7.79 g/t Au from 130m in LEFR190.
  • 11m @ 3.48 g/t Au from 170m in LEFR216.

LATEST DRILL PROGRAM SUMMARY

The recently completed RC drilling programs at Havelock and Lucky Strike were drilled to follow up significant anomalies identified by the Company from 2017 to 2022.

Sixteen holes were completed for 2,566m. Seven of the holes (for 898m) investigated the potential for continuation of gold mineralisation at Havelock, with the remaining holes targeting the Lucky Strike resource and surrounding anomalous earlier results along strike to the south (Figures 2 and 6).

Editor's Picks: Gold Price Breaks US$3,400, Silver Added to Draft US Critical Minerals List

The gold price was on the rise this week, breaking through US$3,400 per ounce once again.

It's been pushed higher by US dollar weakness, as well as Federal Reserve turmoil.

President Donald Trump has been pressuring Fed Chair Jerome Powell to cut interest rates for months, and on Monday (August 25) the situation developed further when Trump posted a letter on his social media platform Truth Social. In it, he said he was removing Lisa Cook from her position on the central bank's board of governors due to allegations of mortgage fraud.

Top 5 Canadian Mining Stocks This Week: Trifecta Shines with 117 Percent Gain

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.

Statistics Canada released its second-quarter gross domestic product (GDP) figures on Friday (August 29). The data showed that the Canadian economy shrank 0.4 percent in the second quarter and declined 1.6 percent on an annualized basis. The decrease comes following first-quarter gains of 0.5 percent and a 2 percent annualized increase.

Much of the decrease was attributed to a 7.5 percent drop in exports compared to Q1. Canadian exports had risen 1.4 percent in the first three months of the year as US companies increased imports to get ahead of incoming tariffs.Excluding the lower costs at the pumps, CPI remained steady at 2.5 percent, the same increase as May and June.

Navigating Uncertainty: How Trump's Tariffs Are Affecting the Gold Market

The gold price has been on the rise in 2025 as a slew of factors work in its favor.

Central bank buying has long been a key point of support, as has escalating conflict in the Middle East and elsewhere. A newer addition is tariff tensions as the Trump administration fleshes out trade policies.

The gold price has benefited from safe-haven demand amid the turmoil, but concerns that the yellow metal itself might face tariffs have also impacted the sector as industry insiders react to uncertainty.
