Green & Gold Minerals has confirmed copper, silver, and tin mineralisation across the 4 km long Elizabeth Bluffs structure within its Herberton Conductor Metals Project in North Queensland, supported by newly acquired historic data and recent rock chip sampling.

Historic underground sampling from the Elizabeth Mine established an 8.5 m true width of copper mineralisation, returning 1.08% copper and 0.44% tin from a traverse across the haulage adit. Past production records from the 1930s also highlight high-grade copper-silver ore parcels assaying 15% copper, 684 g/t silver, and 15.5 g/t gold.

Recent field work by Green & Gold using portable XRF analysis on outcropping gossans and mine dumps confirmed elevated concentrations of the target metals. Spot readings returned highlights including 684 g/t silver in sample GGEB011A, 5.2% tin in sample GGEB008B, and 3.7% copper in sample GGEB002A. The company noted that portable XRF results are spot readings and do not represent average in-situ grades.

Review of historic exploration data indicates that previous drilling at Elizabeth Bluffs was limited to six holes, with only one hole targeting the main mine workings. That hole, completed in 1973, is interpreted to have terminated short of the target, leaving the mineralised zone beneath the mine untested by drilling.

Green & Gold acquired the Herberton project tenure in February 2026 through an all-scrip transaction valued at $450,000. In June 2026, the company entered into a binding drill-for-equity agreement with Centurion Drilling to accelerate exploration across its Herberton and Chillagoe projects.

“Elizabeth Bluffs is a very exciting prospect. Old records show it has outstanding prospectivity for copper, silver and tin mineralisation and that it has been poorly tested by drilling. However, historic drilling still returned very encouraging results including high grade gold and broad low grade copper intersections, at what we think are the margins of the prospect”

“The Herberton Conductor Metals Project continues to deliver compelling targets”

— Quentin Hill, Managing Director

Looking ahead, Green & Gold plans to commence a 3,000 m drill campaign at its Mt Wandoo project in September 2026, targeting shallow extensions to high-grade gold zones defined by previous drilling.
