Right Resources Limited has returned a peak selective rock-chip assay of 5.16 g/t gold from the eastern side of the Blue Prospect, located approximately 22 km north of Tumbarumba in New South Wales.

The sampling program has defined a gold-anomalous corridor measuring 4.0 km north-south by 0.8 km east-west. Within this zone, a priority target measuring approximately 300 m by 300 m features strongly elevated bismuth values up to 630 ppm, coincident with the peak gold result and extensive quartz veining. Reconnaissance mapping also identified hydrothermal breccias, stockwork quartz veining and quartz-sulphide mineralisation hosted within felsic intrusive units over a 3 km corridor.

Right Resources first identified gold at the Blue Prospect in August 2026 following earlier exploration focused on tungsten mineralisation. The upcoming maiden drilling program is supported by proceeds from a A$2.7 million placement completed by the company in July 2026.

"The new 5.16 g/t gold result, together with multiple widely spaced rock-chip samples above 0.3 g/t Au and the definition of a 4 km eastern gold-anomalous corridor, materially strengthens our targeting ahead of maiden drilling. These results build on the tungsten, gold and bismuth footprint previously reported at Blue and have further refined the areas we want to test."

"The next step is to determine whether the surface geochemical and geological signatures continue below surface. We are refining the initial drill design to incorporate the new eastern targets where access permits and look forward to commencing drilling in September."

— Graham Howard, Managing Director

The fully funded maiden aircore drilling program of 60 holes for 3,000 m is scheduled to commence in September 2026. An initial 2,000 m will target both high-priority tungsten and gold targets on EL9028, with the final drill design being refined to incorporate the new eastern targets where access permits. Right Resources also plans a second-stage drilling program on tenement EL9889 for the December Quarter 2026.
