en.Wedoany.com Reported - Australian mineral exploration company Lightning Minerals is undertaking preparatory work for the Phase 2 drilling campaign at its flagship Mt Turner Gold Project in the far north region of Queensland. Company CEO Troy Brice presented the exploration plan and confidence in expanding gold and copper targets to Proactive on site.

Brice stated on site near Georgetown that the Mt Turner Project is located approximately 15 kilometers from Georgetown, and despite historical evidence of gold and copper mineralization, the area remains underexplored. The project features historical mining pits along a 14-kilometer fault line, with only 15 drill holes previously completed across the broader tenement package.

The upcoming Phase 2 drilling campaign is expected to commence in early June and will include approximately 670 meters of diamond drilling across six drill holes. The program aims to confirm the extent and depth of high-grade mineralization identified during the company's November 2025 drilling campaign.

Brice noted that the company will advance the Mt Turner Project using a phased exploration strategy. As Phase 2 drilling approaches, the project's exploration potential will be further validated. Relevant drilling results are expected to be released progressively in subsequent phases.
