Flynn Gold Limited has returned multiple zones of gold, tungsten, copper and cobalt mineralisation from the ongoing 2026 diamond drilling program at the Firetower Project in northern Tasmania.

Assay results from drill hole 2019FTD015E delivered 1.9m at 2.02g/t gold, 0.56% tungsten trioxide, 0.11% copper and 0.12% cobalt from 167.3m. This interval sits within a broader intercept of 12.5m at 0.55g/t gold, 0.11% tungsten trioxide, 0.09% copper and 0.10% cobalt from 158.5m.

Additional high-grade intervals in hole 2019FTD015E included 1.20m at 2.1g/t gold, 0.23% tungsten trioxide, 0.53% copper and 0.10% cobalt from 194.8m, and 2.35m at 1.46g/t gold, 0.21% tungsten trioxide, 0.55% copper and 0.09% cobalt from 241.9m. A high-grade core within the deeper intercept returned 0.20m at 13.5g/t gold, 2.26% tungsten trioxide, 4.37% copper, 0.74% cobalt and 53.4g/t silver from 242.35m.

“These latest assay results at Firetower confirm the presence of multiple zones of polymetallic mineralisation with three zones of gold, tungsten, copper and cobalt mineralisation intersected.”

Drilling and historical core re-sampling completed by Flynn Gold at the project have established mineralisation over a strike length of approximately 250 metres and a vertical depth of up to 200 metres, with the system remaining open along strike and at depth.

“Two additional holes have been completed to test the western extension of the system and to provide material for metallurgical test work to support our Mineral Resource evaluation. We look forward to reporting those assay results as they become available.”

Assay results for the completed diamond drill holes FT-2026-002 and 2019TFD003E are expected to be reported in September 2026. A portion of the drill core from the program will be used for metallurgical testwork to support a maiden Mineral Resource Estimate, alongside an ongoing geophysical review of the broader project area.

Elsewhere in Tasmania, Pacific Resources Limited reported wide gold mineralisation from channel sampling at the Sulphide Creek project in June 2026.
