CGN Resources Limited has finished its maiden reverse circulation (RC) drilling program at the Christmas Well gold project in Western Australia. The company completed 15 holes for a total of 2,093 metres, testing four high-priority targets: Ox Tongue, Lambs Fry, Sweetbread, and Rocky Mountain Oyster.

Samples from the program have been submitted for multi-element analysis, with laboratory results expected within four to six weeks. The campaign represents the initial stage of a systematic, multi-target testing program across the company’s district-scale gold landholding in the Leonora region.

“The successful completion of our maiden drilling programme at Christmas Well represents another important milestone for CGN as we systematically advance what we believe is one of the most exciting emerging gold portfolios in the Leonora district. We have now completed drilling across several of our high-priority targets and look forward to receiving and reporting assay results over the coming weeks.”

— Stan Wholley, Managing Director

In conjunction with the drilling update, CGN has executed a Heritage Access Agreement with the Nyalpa Pirniku Traditional Owners. This agreement covers key tenure within the Panhandle Project and resolves previous limitations regarding heritage clearance. The company expects the agreement to provide a clear pathway for upcoming heritage clearances, field programs, and drill planning, with the Pelican Target now identified as a priority for future testing.
