Right Resources Limited has secured all necessary regulatory approvals to begin its maiden drilling program at the Blue Prospect in New South Wales, with site activities scheduled for September 2026.

The initial reconnaissance program will comprise approximately 2,000 metres across 60 aircore holes targeting depths of 30 metres to 50 metres. The campaign forms the first stage of a broader planned 3,000-metre drilling effort across tenement EL9028, supported by proceeds from a A$2.7 million placement completed in July to accelerate exploration across the Tumbarumba district.

Earlier surface exploration defined an interpreted mineralised footprint spanning more than 4.7 kilometres by 3.4 kilometres. Soil geochemistry and rock-chip sampling across the area have returned tungsten grades of up to 4.3% WO3. Prior to initiating subsurface work, Right Resources completed metallurgical testwork on surface samples, including rougher flotation tests that achieved an 87.3% tungsten recovery from a 0.48% WO3 composite head grade.

“The commencement of drilling at Blue marks a major milestone for Right Resources. Over the past year we have systematically advanced Blue from a regional exploration concept into a drill-ready project with a large- scale tungsten-bismuth-gold mineralised footprint. Importantly, this maiden program will only test the very shallow portion of the mineralised system, with drilling focused on evaluating the geological controls, orientation and continuity of mineralisation. We believe Blue represents a significant exploration opportunity and look forward to delivering results to shareholders throughout the December Quarter.”

The shallow aircore holes will test six primary tungsten anomalies and five gold targets, providing the first direct subsurface data on grade tenor, geometry and vein continuity below surface exposures. A second-stage drilling program on the western extension at tenement EL9889 is planned for the December quarter, subject to receipt of approvals and first-stage findings. Assay results from the initial campaign will be released progressively through the same period.
