Solstice Minerals Intersects High-Grade Copper-Gold Zones at Nanadie
Solstice Minerals Limited has returned high-grade copper-gold intercepts from ongoing reverse circulation and diamond drilling at the Nanadie Copper-Gold Project in Western Australia, identifying unrecognised mineralised zones within and adjacent to the current resource estimate.
Standout reverse circulation results include hole NANRC058, which returned a broad combined intercept of 172m at 0.69% copper and 0.30g/t gold from 54m to the end of the hole, including an interval of 83m at 0.96% copper and 0.44g/t gold from 143m. Hole NANRC057 intersected 18m at 2.29% copper and 1.12g/t gold to the end of the hole from 292m, featuring a 5m sub-interval grading 6.88% copper and 3.60g/t gold.
In addition, assay results from diamond tail NANRCD024 returned 60.6m at 0.64% copper, 0.33g/t gold and 11.75g/t silver from 381m, including a 14.6m zone grading 0.69% copper, 0.10g/t gold and 31.32g/t silver. Step-out drilling beyond the southern resource limit has extended the mineralised strike length to at least 1.3km, with the system remaining open to the north, south and at depth.
Solstice Minerals owns a 100% interest in the Nanadie project, which is located on a granted Mining Lease in Western Australia. The company has advanced the project through successive reverse circulation and diamond drilling campaigns throughout 2026.
“Coming hard on the heels of the fantastic, combined intercept of 722.3m at 0.44% Cu, 0.13g/t Au from hole NANRCD0052 announced on Friday, these exciting new results show that the momentum of drilling news-flow from Nanadie has well and truly moved up a gear. Importantly, these results confirm our interpretation that there may be significant zones of valuable near-surface high-grade mineralisation both within and adjacent to the current Nanadie Resource that have not previously been recognised or adequately tested.”
— Mr Nick Castleden, Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director
Drilling is operating with multiple reverse circulation and diamond rigs at the Nanadie project through the balance of the year following the completion of expanded camp and core processing facilities. Solstice Minerals expects to receive assay results from a further 13 completed diamond holes and more than 20 reverse circulation holes over the coming months.
