Meeka Metals Limited has established an initial Mineral Resource of 3,570 kilotonnes at 2.4 grams per tonne gold for 270,000 contained ounces at the Mt Holland project in Western Australia.

The initial resource follows the August 2026 acquisition of the Mt Holland tenement package, which was acquired without a defined resource. The 71-square-kilometre landholding covers roughly 24 kilometres of north-south striking banded iron formation units within the Forrestania greenstone belt in the Southern Cross Province of the Yilgarn Craton.

The initial inventory is split across three deposits: Blue Vein, which hosts 250,000 ounces at 2.5 grams per tonne gold; Bushpig, with 10,000 ounces at 1.2 grams per tonne; and Razorback, containing 10,000 ounces at 1.6 grams per tonne. The total resource comprises 1,110 kilotonnes at 2.3 grams per tonne gold in the Indicated category for 110,000 ounces, alongside 2,060 kilotonnes at 2.4 grams per tonne in the Inferred category for 160,000 ounces.

The ground historically produced roughly 1.2 million ounces at 5.12 grams per tonne gold from the Bounty gold mine prior to 2001, when operations halted amid a low-price environment of about $500 per ounce. The Bounty mine sits 5 miles north of the Blue Vein deposit and is not owned by Meeka. The broader area has seen minimal gold-focused exploration over the past 15 years. All three deposits remain open at depth beyond the average 150-metre depth of the current resource model.

“This initial resource is a good start and we believe th e ground has a far larger gold endowment than presently defined. Having historically produced ~1.2Moz at 5g/t gold , this fertile Archaean greenstone belt presents a compelling growth opportunity for us which we can systematically drill over the coming 12 -18 months .”

— Tim Davidson, Managing Director and CEO

To test this potential, Meeka plans to conduct systematic exploration drilling across the tenement package over the next 12 to 18 months, targeting resource expansions from the shallow historic drill database of approximately 90 kilometres.
