Rumble Resources Limited has outlined an active exploration schedule across its Western Australian projects, highlighted by up to 5,000 metres of aircore drilling scheduled to begin in mid-September at the Wardawarra target.

The upcoming work follows a structural review that identified three target positions sharing similar kinematics with the 100% owned Western Queen gold and tungsten project, located 90 kilometres northwest of Mount Magnet. Rumble expects to release an updated Scoping Study for Western Queen in late September 2026. The study evaluates bringing the deposit back into production initially through underground mining of the Western Queen South resource, utilizing a toll milling and blending agreement executed in May 2026 with Gylden Resources Pty Ltd and Kirkalocka Gold SPV Pty Ltd to process ore at the Kirkalocka plant located approximately 180 kilometres to the southeast.

Following the Wardawarra program, drilling operations will shift to the Munarra Gully project, where a follow-up reverse circulation and diamond drilling program is scheduled to commence in October to test a 300-metre gap and twin a high-grade intersection that returned 13 metres at 21.64 grams per tonne gold from 122 metres, including 5 metres at 55.56 grams per tonne gold and 1 metre at 221.00 grams per tonne gold, alongside 7 metres at 0.52% copper.

“While we are very much focused on getting Western Queen into production as soon as possible, we haven't forgotten about our other exciting gold and base metal projects.”

“Between now and Christmas we should have plenty of news flow from these three drill programs.”

– Peter Harold, Managing Director and CEO

Rumble has also planned up to 5,000 metres of aircore and reverse circulation drilling at the Thunderstorm project within the Fraser Range to test historical high-grade gold intersections.
