Exploration Strategy & Drill Program
The Namalau Trend hosts a fully preserved epithermal gold system with significant discovery potential. Despite historical high-grade results, much of the system remains untested. Our upcoming 9,000-meter drill campaign is designed to systematically evaluate key upwelling zones, advance priority targets, and unlock the trend’s full potential. This program represents a major step forward in unlocking the Namalau Trend’s gold resources through modern exploration techniques.
