BPM Minerals Limited has commenced a reverse circulation drilling campaign at the Beachcomber prospect, kicking off a 20,000-metre program across the Forelands Gold Project in the Eastern Goldfields of Western Australia.

The initial program at Beachcomber comprises approximately 10,000 metres of infill and extensional drilling designed to provide the geological confidence required to support a maiden JORC-compliant Mineral Resource Estimate across multiple lodes. This work builds on an earlier 7,426-metre program completed at Beachcomber in April 2026, significantly scaling up exploration across the broader project.

The Beachcomber workstream is supported by a co-funded drilling grant under the Western Australian Government's Exploration Incentive Scheme.

Following completion of the Beachcomber program, the drill rig will move to the Bonnie & Clyde prospect for an additional 10,000 metres of reverse circulation drilling. That maiden program is scheduled to begin this quarter, pending final regulatory approvals from the Department of Mines, Petroleum and Exploration, and will test an untested six-kilometre-long gold-in-soil anomaly associated with the Yellow Dam Shear Zone.

“We are excited to be drilling at Forelands once again. Twelve months of systematic work has grown Beachcomber from three historical fencelines into a large gold system with multiple mineralised lodes, and we are now heading back in to drill it to the density required to estimate a maiden resource.

The maiden 10,000m program at Bonnie & Clyde will follow. This is the largest drilling commitment in BPM's history and we look forward to reporting results as they are received.”

— Oliver Judd, CEO

Assay results from the 20,000-metre drilling campaign are expected to be announced throughout the fourth quarter of 2026.
