Forrestania Resources Limited has received assay results from an additional 15 reverse circulation drill holes totaling 3,685 metres at the British Hill Gold Project in Western Australia, returning a peak intercept of 59 metres at 2.38 g/t gold from 123 metres in hole 26BHRC0061.

Drilling across Mining Lease M77/1256, located 75 kilometres south-southeast of Southern Cross in the Yilgarn Mineral Field, confirms that gold mineralisation extends further to the west and at depth beyond柏 the known system. Additional high-grade intersections include 19 metres at 2.15 g/t gold from 43 metres in hole 26BHRC0065, 14 metres at 2.20 g/t gold from 260 metres in hole 26BHRC0069, and 13 metres at 2.36 g/t gold from 255 metres in hole 26BHRC0025.

“This third batch of assay results from British Hill continues to impress, extending mineralisation both to the west and at depth beyond the known system - sharpening our geological model of the deposit.”

— David Geraghty, Chairman

Forrestania acquired 100% ownership of the British Hill project through a binding heads of agreement in July 2025. The company subsequently reported an updated Mineral Resource Estimate for the deposit in August 2026, standing at 3,289,700 tonnes at 1.66 g/t gold for 175,690 ounces. Project operator Forrestania Resources Limited also staked one new mineral tenement near the project on 6 July 2026, alongside lodging additional Program of Work applications to target interpreted mineralisation lying west of the current drilling program.

A diamond drill rig has now been mobilised to site to test mineralisation below current reverse circulation drilling limits and capture structural data on gold lode orientations, supporting the company's strategy to grow the British Hill Mineral Resource Estimate.

The ongoing drill program and upcoming technical work are aimed at further expanding the deposit's resource inventory as exploration advances across the wider regional tenure.
