Repeater’s High-Grade Hits Raise Stakes for Near-Term Development
WIN Metals has reported outstanding shallow high-grade gold intercepts at its Repeater Prospect within the Radio Gold Project, confirming deeper mineralisation and reinforcing near-term development potential.
- Exceptional shallow gold intercepts including 2m at 30.58 g/t Au
- Deeper mineralisation confirmed beyond previous drilling depths
- Repeater Prospect poised as priority target for near-term development
- Radio Gold Project historically produced 71,000oz at 38 g/t Au
- Plans underway for maiden Mineral Resource and mining restart studies
Exceptional Shallow High-Grade Gold Intercepts
WIN Metals Ltd (ASX, WIN) has announced a series of impressive drilling results from the Repeater Prospect, part of its Radio Gold Project in Western Australia. The latest infill drilling program has delivered multiple high-grade gold intercepts near surface, including a standout 2 metres at 30.58 grams per tonne (g/t) gold, with a metre grading 50.8 g/t. These results not only confirm the presence of rich mineralisation close to the surface but also reveal that the system extends deeper than previously understood.
Advancing a Priority Development Target
The Repeater Prospect is emerging as a key focus within the broader Radio Gold Project, which lies 38 kilometres north of Southern Cross in the Eastern Goldfields region. WIN’s geological team identified that earlier drilling had not fully tested the targeted mineralised horizon, prompting deeper follow-up holes. The success of this approach has reinforced confidence in the geological model and positioned Repeater as a compelling near-term development opportunity. Managing Director Steve Norregaard highlighted that these high-grade hits are just the beginning of unlocking the project’s potential.
Historical Context and Project Potential
The Radio Gold Project has a rich history, having produced approximately 71,000 ounces of gold at an exceptional average grade of 38 g/t between 1918 and 1974. Despite this, much of the near-surface mineralisation remains unmined, offering significant upside for low-cost open pit mining alongside underground operations. The project’s infrastructure is largely intact, including underground workings and dewatering, which could facilitate a rapid restart of mining activities.
Next Steps, Resource Definition and Mining Studies
WIN Metals plans to integrate the latest assay results into updated 3D geological models and define a maiden Mineral Resource at Repeater. Concurrently, the company is refining models for the Radio and Radio South deposits to support mine design and scheduling. These technical studies will underpin assessments of near-term restart options, including underground mining and potential open pit extraction of shallow mineralisation. Additional drilling is also planned to build on the current exploration success early next year.
Broader Portfolio and Regional Geology
Beyond gold, WIN Metals holds significant tenure across Western Australia, including nickel and lithium projects such as the Mt Edwards Nickel and Faraday-Trainline Lithium Projects near Kalgoorlie-Boulder, and the Butchers Creek Gold Project in the Kimberley region. The Radio Gold Project itself is situated within the highly prospective Southern Cross Greenstone Belt, a geological setting known for structurally controlled, high-grade orogenic gold deposits. The complex structural geology and mineralisation style at Radio provide a strong foundation for ongoing exploration and resource growth.
Bottom Line?
As WIN Metals advances resource definition and mining studies, the Repeater Prospect could soon transform from exploration success to production catalyst.
Questions in the middle?
- How will the maiden Mineral Resource at Repeater compare to historical resources at Radio?
- What are the timelines and capital requirements for a potential mining restart?
- Could further drilling reveal additional high-grade extensions beyond current models?
