Unlocking Western Australia's Next Big Discovery

Well, get ready for some exciting news out of Western Australia! Awati Resources, a name you might not have heard yet, is buzzing with anticipation. They've just unveiled a fresh set of drill targets at their Wyloo Project, a site rich in gold, silver, and antimony. This really sets the stage for what promises to be their very first, and much-anticipated, drilling adventure there.

This isn't just any drilling, mind you; this initial program is specifically designed to hit these newly pinpointed spots, areas that have already hinted at some seriously high-grade gold, silver, and even that intriguing critical mineral, antimony. Imagine the potential!

How did they find these spots, you ask? It wasn't guesswork. The team undertook a really thorough exploration effort – think meticulous geological mapping, taking precise rock chip samples, and running detailed soil geochemistry tests all across the Wyloo project. It's this kind of groundwork that builds confidence, and frankly, it makes the upcoming drill program even more compelling.

Ultimately, their hard work led them to two main zones, both incredibly promising for potential discovery: 'Wyloo South' and 'Wyloo West'.

Let's dive into 'Wyloo South' for a moment. This area is quite remarkable, showing significant anomalies for gold, reaching up to 2.2 grams per tonne, silver hitting 4.3 g/t, and antimony at a solid 0.43%. What’s more, these promising signs are tied directly to some classic geological features – we’re talking about quartz veins, shear zones, and breccias, all stretching out for over 1.5 kilometers. That’s a considerable distance, suggesting a large system at play.

Then there's 'Wyloo West,' which is another fantastic prospect. Here, the geologists have mapped out several parallel structures, also extending for well over 1.5 kilometers. And guess what? This area isn't shy about showing its potential either, with anomalous gold up to 0.35 g/t, silver peaking at 5.2 g/t, and antimony at 0.16%. It’s a compelling picture, really, and definitely worth a closer look with the drills.

Now, a quick word about antimony. This isn't just any old mineral; it's considered critical, and its demand is steadily climbing. Crucially for exploration, antimony often acts as a kind of geological signpost, pointing the way to truly significant gold deposits. So, seeing it here at Wyloo, especially alongside gold and silver, is a powerful indicator of high-grade gold potential. It's a very exciting piece of the puzzle, if you ask me.

Location-wise, the Wyloo Project sits in a rather convenient spot, about 20 kilometers east of Paraburdoo in Western Australia. This means it benefits from excellent existing infrastructure, which, let's be honest, is a huge plus for any remote exploration project. It simply makes operations more feasible and cost-effective.

The CEO over at Awati Resources, as you can imagine, is absolutely thrilled. They've made it clear just how much potential they see for a significant discovery within these brand-new target zones. It’s an exciting time, no doubt, for both the company and the broader mineral exploration community watching closely.

For those curious, Awati Resources is a privately-held company, and their main game plan is to push forward their impressive portfolio of mineral projects, all located right there in Western Australia. They seem to have a clear vision for growth and discovery.

Looking ahead, the company plans to kick off reverse circulation (RC) drilling at both Wyloo South and Wyloo West. The goal? To truly understand the extent of this mineralization at depth and to map out the structural controls that dictate where these valuable minerals are hiding. It’s all about understanding the geology better to maximize future success and, hopefully, unlock a truly remarkable resource.
