en.Wedoany.com Report on Mar 24th, Australian exploration company Kalamazoo Resources (ASX:KZR) has commenced drilling at its Ashburton Gold Project in the Pilbara region of Western Australia. The program comprises 14,000 meters of reverse circulation and diamond drilling, aimed at upgrading resource estimates and geological confidence.

The drilling will focus on resource infill areas within existing deposits, using a 20-meter by 20-meter spacing to enhance the geological confidence of the Mt Olympus resource model and upgrade the area from an Inferred Resource to an Indicated classification, supporting future ore reserve estimates and a Pre-Feasibility Study.

The project's current resource estimate stands at 16.2 million tonnes grading 2.8 grams per tonne gold, equating to 1.44 million ounces of gold. The Mt Olympus deposit is estimated to contain a mineable resource of 772,000 ounces grading 2.53 grams per tonne gold. Diamond drilling is being carried out by DDH1, with reverse circulation drilling handled by Strike Drilling.

Ben Ackerman, Executive Director of Kalamazoo Resources, stated that the company is focused on increasing resource confidence and supporting the Mt Olympus Pre-Feasibility Study following the completion of the Phase 1 growth drilling.

"One reverse circulation rig is on site and rapidly covering the entire deposit, including targeted infill of Inferred Resource areas to support potential conversion to higher confidence categories," said Ackerman.

"Two diamond rigs are also scheduled to commence in early April 2026, expanding drilling capacity and capturing key geological and geotechnical data to underpin the next phase of the project's development."

Kalamazoo Resources is an Australian exploration company focused on gold and base metal projects, dedicated to advancing its project portfolio.
