Venus Metals Corporation Limited has intersected 20 metres at 2.72 g/t gold from 186 metres, including 6 metres at 5.52 g/t gold and 1 metre at 9.92 g/t gold, in reverse circulation drilling at the Bellchambers Gold Deposit in Western Australia.

The drill program comprised seven reverse circulation holes for a total of 1,213 metres across the Bellchambers and Range View Gold Deposits, located 23 kilometres south of Sandstone. At Bellchambers, five holes spanning 1,035 metres were drilled largely below the existing resource envelope. Two holes covering 178 metres were completed at Range View to follow up previous anomalous results.

Additional significant assays from Bellchambers included hole 26BRC3, which returned 6 metres at 2.24 g/t gold from 212 metres, including 1 metre at 8.26 g/t gold. Gold mineralisation in the area is associated with quartz veining and sulphide accumulations within a strongly sheared package of banded iron, cherts, high-magnesium basalts and minor ultramafic units, with oxidation extending to approximately 35 to 40 metres of vertical depth.

The drilling was designed to test an exploration target ranging from 800,000 to 950,000 tonnes at 1.75 to 2.00 g/t gold for 45,000 to 60,000 ounces of gold. This target sits below the existing Bellchambers global mineral resource of 766,000 tonnes at 1.27 g/t gold for 31,400 ounces. Venus Metals notes that the potential quantity and grade of the exploration target is conceptual in nature, as insufficient exploration has been completed to estimate a mineral resource.

Venus Metals commenced work on a pre-feasibility study for the Bellchambers Project in December 2025. Drill assay data from the latest program is currently being modelled, and the exploration team is planning a follow-up drilling campaign to test the significant gold intersections further.
