Pilbara Gold Hits 5m At 7.91g/t Au In Mt York Drilling
Pilbara Gold Limited has intersected wide, high-grade gold intervals at the Main Hill and Breccia Hill prospects within its Mt York Gold Project in Western Australia, returning assays including 5 metres at 7.91 grams per tonne gold from 29 metres.
The ongoing campaign forms part of a broader drilling program across the 2.1-million-ounce gold deposit, which spans a 4.2-kilometre mineralised strike length that remains open at depth. Drilling has completed 36,600 metres of the planned +60,000-metre program to date, with further assays currently pending.
At Main Hill, hole 26MYRC025 yielded 5 metres at 7.91 g/t gold from 29 metres, including 2 metres at 15.65 g/t gold from 32 metres, while hole 26MYRCD005 intersected 5 metres at 6.53 g/t gold from 265 metres. Deeper drilling below the existing resource model at Main Hill confirmed the continuity of the host Banded Iron Formation, with hole 26MYRCD007 returning 22 metres at 1.29 g/t gold from 321 metres and a deeper intercept of 9 metres at 2.11 g/t gold from 416 metres.

Breccia Hill infill drilling also returned strong shallow intervals, including 31 metres at 1.91 g/t gold from 25 metres in hole 26MYRC066, which included a 3-metre sample grading 10.91 g/t gold from 48 metres.
“The 60,000m drilling program is now 60% complete and we will be transitioning the rigs to drill deeper (+100m deep) parts of Main Hill Extension (where we believe the BIF and mineralisation are thickening) and tracing the 'Monster Zone' to the northwest.”

The current work follows Pilbara Gold declaring its landmark Mineral Rights Agreement with PLS unconditional in August 2026, securing mineral rights across 367 square kilometres surrounding Mt York. Critical pre-feasibility study infill drilling is on track for completion in October 2026, with deeper resource and extensional drilling scheduled to commence in November. Pilbara Gold targets an updated Mineral Resource Estimate for the Mt York project in early 2027.
