en.Wedoany.com Reported - North Stawell Minerals (ASX: NSM) has commenced a new round of diamond drilling at the Darlington project in western Victoria, planning to drill 600 to 800 meters to follow up on drilling completed between January 2025 and May 2026. The company previously identified a "shallow" mineralized gold zone parallel to the historical Darlington reef trend through diamond and air drilling, which remains open in all directions. This drilling campaign aims to verify the potential for higher-grade gold veins within a broader low-grade gold mineralization zone.

Previous drilling intercepts include: 2.3 meters at 29.3 g/t gold from 108.2 meters, including 0.8 meters at 82 g/t gold from 108.2 meters; 0.3 meters at 5.18 g/t gold from 231 meters; 4 meters at 10.77 g/t gold from 60 meters; and 6 meters at 3.45 g/t gold from 42 meters.

Executive Director Bill Reid stated that Darlington possesses the geological and structural elements required to form both identified target types of mineralization, with the host basalt being the northern extension of the same geological body as the Stawell gold mine. He noted that high-grade gold mineralization in Victoria has generated significant investor interest in other projects over the past few years. North Stawell Minerals believes that demonstrating Darlington's potential for similar but yet-to-be-fully-tested high-grade gold mineralization can deliver operational and investor value to the company.

North Stawell Minerals is an Australian gold exploration company focused on creating shareholder value through systematic search and evaluation of prospective gold exploration and development projects.
