en.Wedoany.com Reported - Sunshine Metals has commenced a 2,079 line-kilometer airborne magnetic and radiometric survey at the Sybil Gold Project in northeastern Queensland.

This is the first detailed airborne survey of the project area, conducted via helicopter and covering priority exploration targets including Francis Creek, Francis Creek East, Blue Range, and Quartz Ridge. The survey aims to improve geological understanding of the low-sulfidation epithermal gold system by mapping key stratigraphic and structural features that may influence mineralization, providing a data foundation for subsequent exploration.

The project is part of Sunshine's broader exploration strategy within the Ravenswood Consolidated Project, which also includes the Liontown development study and the recently acquired Mt Moss processing facility. Managing Director Damien Keys expressed anticipation that the survey will map the geological and structural architecture of the Sybil Gold Project, and that obtaining baseline datasets will help understand the controls of the epithermal system, thereby precisely targeting extensions of existing mineralization, evaluating targets under shallow cover, and planning long-term target generation.

Data acquisition is expected to take four to five days, with processing commencing immediately upon completion. Geophysical work is progressing in parallel with cultural heritage surveys and drill preparation, while reconnaissance activities at emerging targets such as Burdekin Veins and Douglas Creek are also underway. The company expects drilling to begin in late June 2026 at Francis Creek, Francis Creek East, and Blue Range.

Keys stated that Sunshine is committed to unlocking the potential of the Sybil project and looks forward to commencing the drilling program to consolidate previous results at Francis Creek and become the first company to test the Francis Creek East target. Sunshine noted that the recently completed A$19 million placement and A$7.6 million share purchase plan have provided sufficient funding for exploration across its Queensland project portfolio.
