Forgent (AIM:FORG), a technology-led energy transition company listed on AIM, has completed its Phase 1 drilling programme at the Peak Hills gold-copper project in Western Australia.
The programme comprised 40 drill holes totalling approximately 2,680 metres, reaching depths of up to 100 metres across the Karalundi, Junction and Curleys prospects.
A combination of aircore and reverse circulation drilling techniques was used, with reverse circulation deployed where ground conditions ruled out aircore.
The campaign was designed to validate historic exploration results, extend known mineralisation and evaluate additional mineralised zones across the project area.
In total, 1,587 samples, a mix of three-metre composite and single-metre samples, have been submitted to a Perth-based independent laboratory for assay.
Forgent said it will provide a further update once results have been received and interpreted.
