Apollo Hill Drilling Yields 5m at 15.08g/t and 8m at 5.56g/t Gold Intercepts

Exploration Momentum Builds at Apollo Hill

Saturn Metals Limited has delivered a fresh wave of promising assay results from its flagship Apollo Hill Gold Project in Western Australia. The latest Reverse Circulation drilling campaign has intersected multiple zones of high-grade gold mineralisation, particularly within the Iris and Tefnut zones, which lie along an 800-metre section of the project’s footwall geological structure.

Among the standout results are intercepts such as 5 metres at 15.08 grams per tonne gold from 51 metres depth and 8 metres at 5.56 grams per tonne from 70 metres, underscoring the presence of thick, shallow, and economically attractive mineralisation. These findings build on previous high-grade intersections and reinforce the geological model that predicts repeatable lode-style gold zones typical of Archean deposits.

Resource Growth Potential and Geological Insights

The new drilling results not only confirm the continuity of mineralisation but also highlight that the gold zones remain open both down-plunge and along strike. This openness suggests that the current 2.24 million ounce gold Mineral Resource could be expanded with continued exploration. Saturn’s Managing Director, Ian Bamborough, expressed confidence that the coherent high-grade zones like Iris have the potential to repeat throughout the broader Apollo Hill system, providing a strong basis for ongoing drilling programs.

Geological interpretations have evolved with these results, offering a clearer understanding of the controls on mineralisation. The company plans to target additional structures identified through recent drilling, aiming to underpin further resource growth and upgrade the existing resource classification ahead of the next update scheduled for the first half of 2026.

Strategic Positioning and Next Steps

Apollo Hill’s location near Leonora, within a well-established goldfields region, combined with its large tonnage and simple metallurgy, positions it as a potentially significant open-pit heap leach operation. The ongoing drilling program, which has already delivered nearly 7,000 metres of Reverse Circulation drilling across 43 holes, continues to test extensions and new targets within the project area.

Beyond Apollo Hill, Saturn Metals also holds interests in other gold exploration projects, including the West Wyalong Project in New South Wales, which offers high-grade vein opportunities. However, the immediate focus remains on advancing Apollo Hill through further drilling, metallurgical testing, and geotechnical studies to support future development decisions.

With assay results continuing to flow and a clear strategy for resource expansion, Saturn Metals is steadily building the case for Apollo Hill’s next phase of growth and value creation.
