Minerals 260 has moved its Bullabulling gold project in Western Australia into its next phase of exploration and production readiness as it targets first gold in late 2028. Auger drilling has defined gold anomalies extending approximately 1km south-east of Kraken and 1.1km along strike from Endeavour, which Minerals 260 acquired an interest in through its joint venture with Geko Explore. Wide-spaced RC drilling will also test a coherent 1km-long gold anomaly north of Dicksons, where historical exploration has been limited. Minerals 260 will simultaneously complete further auger drilling across recently acquired tenure to the north and north-east. Minerals 260 managing director Luke McFadyen said the company’s recent work had substantially improved its understanding of the project.
