Talonx Plans RC Drilling at Viking to Target Maiden Gold Resource
Talonx Resources Limited is planning a new reverse circulation drilling program at the Beaker 2 Prospect within the Viking Gold Project in Western Australia, aiming to support a maiden Mineral Resource estimate.
The program will test extensions to high-grade gold mineralisation intersected in drillhole 26VKRC010, which returned 4 metres at 22.1 grams per tonne of gold from 31 metres, including 2 metres at 42.4 grams per tonne of gold from 32 metres. That intercept is associated with strong quartz veining within sheared granite host rocks and remains open along strike and down-dip.
In parallel, infill drilling is planned within the shallow oxide gold zone, which is currently defined over approximately 400 metres by 300 metres, to increase drill density and improve geological and grade continuity. Talonx secured ownership of the Viking Gold Project through acquisitions from Metal Hawk Limited and Falcon Metals Limited completed in October 2025.
“Beaker 2 has established itself as our highest-priority target at Viking. The combination of a broad, shallow oxide gold zone and the high-grade quartz-vein mineralisation we intersected in 26VKRC010 gives us real confidence in the resource potential of this prospect.”
“This next phase of drilling is specifically designed to test the continuity and extent of that high-grade mineralisation and infill the oxide zone, building the dataset we need to progress towards a maiden gold resource at Beaker 2.”
— Dr Steve Lennon, Executive Chairman
Activity across the wider district continues to draw attention, as illustrated when Pantoro Gold Limited reported drill results including 4.94 metres at 349.14 g/t gold at its Norseman project in August 2026. Talonx is finalising planning for the Beaker 2 program and will release further details prior to commencement.
