en.Wedoany.com Reported - Kalgoorlie Gold Mining (KalGold, ASX:KAL) has acquired 15 tenements in the Yandal Belt of Western Australia, covering a total area of 23.7 square kilometers. The tenement package includes 14 prospecting licenses and 1 exploration license, located southeast of and along the strike of the historic Gourdis and Vause gold mines. Of these, 10 tenements have been granted, while 5 are still under application.
The Central Yandal Gold Project is situated along the strike between Northern Star Resources' (ASX:NST) Jundee gold mine center and the Bronzewing gold mine. Jundee hosts approximately 10 million ounces of gold resources, while Bronzewing has at least 4 million ounces of historical resources.
Managing Director Matt Painter stated that this acquisition represents the company's disciplined strategy to secure prospective ground at a reasonable cost. The new tenements cover an unexplored section of the Yandal Belt, immediately south of established gold mines along the structural strike. The tenement package has seen minimal historical exploration, with approximately 110 drill holes completed between 1998 and 2025, and four tenements having no drilling records at all. Existing drilling includes 87 air-core holes (totaling 4,492 meters), 22 rotary air blast holes (720 meters), and one reverse circulation hole of 202 meters.
The project area covers approximately 15 kilometers of strike length along a northwest-trending structural corridor that hosts the Gourdis and Vause gold mines. Painter emphasized that this acquisition does not represent a shift in the company's strategic focus. Drilling at the Pinjin project is ongoing, with systematic exploration continuing at targets such as Lighthorse, Kirgella Gift, and Providence to achieve discoveries. The company will advance detailed evaluation and modeling in the project area, including compiling existing datasets, acquiring high-resolution aeromagnetic and radiometric data, and conducting regolith field mapping.
Kalgoorlie Gold Mining remains primarily focused on the Pinjin gold project in the Laverton Tectonic Zone, where drilling continues to systematically test high-quality targets. The company has identified total gold resources exceeding 214,000 ounces in its portfolio, including 76,400 ounces from the Kirgella Gift and Providence deposits at Pinjin, and 138,000 ounces from the La Mascotte deposit within the Bulong Taurus gold project.
