Barton Gold (ASX: BGD) (OTCQB: BGDFF) has reported further broad gold intersections from Phase 2 resource upgrade drilling at its Tunkillia gold project in South Australia, with results infilling Area 223 North and the southern end of the main Area 223 optimised open pit. Barton expects the completed program to support gold and silver Mineral Resource upgrades ahead of a pre-feasibility study (PFS) targeted for the first quarter of calendar 2027. Broad Results Fill Key ZonesThe new drilling further infilled existing mineralisation in Area 223 North and the southern zone of Area 223, where Barton is upgrading confidence in material incorporated within the optimised open-pit design. Work supporting the PFS includes resource upgrade and diamond drilling, environmental and cultural heritage surveys, geotechnical and metallurgical analysis and studies covering tailings storage, other infrastructure and potential renewable energy options. Barton is allowing the PFS schedule to accommodate the expanded drilling and prospective Mineral Resource upside before targeting completion in early 2027.
