Auravelle Metals Limited has commenced a discovery-focused aircore drilling program spanning approximately 3,500 metres at the Nuckulla Hill project in South Australia.

The campaign is testing five targets across the project area: Sheoak North, Myall, Sauna, Bimba West and Bimba North. All five prospects feature coincident gold and silver geochemical anomalism and sit along the Yarlbrinda Shear Zone. Sheoak North and Myall are situated along strike of existing work within a 3.5-kilometre-long zone of gold anomalism.

The aircore program is expected to take seven to 10 days to complete, with assay results anticipated to arrive in mid to late October 2026.

Following the completion of the current aircore drilling, Auravelle plans to mobilize a reverse circulation rig to undertake infill and extensional drilling at Sheoak, Sheoak East and Bimba.

“We are pleased to commence our next round of drilling at Nuckulla Hill, testing these early-stage targets. Large areas of the Yarlbrinda remain untested or have had little to no follow-up drilling. This program will test some of those areas, which is an exciting opportunity given the prospectivity of the Yarlbrinda and its potential to host large gold deposits.”

— Andrew Muir, Managing Director

Following the aircore campaign, reverse circulation drilling is scheduled to test further extensional targets across the project.
