Exercise of Option to Acquire Crofton Gold Project

 

Cloudbreak Discovery Plc (LSE: CDL), a London Stock Exchange Main Market listed company, is pleased to announce that it has decided to exercise the option to acquire exploration licence application E45/6690 covering 57km² (Figure1 ) known as the Crofton Gold Project ("Crofton") located 120 kilometres east-southeast of famous Australian gold mining centre of Marble Bar and 75km northeast of the mining centre town of Nullagine in the Pilbara region of Western Australia. (Figure 1).


Tom Evans, Cloudbreak's MD, commented; "the recent trip by our geologists to the Crofton licence has clearly indicated the very significant gold potential of the area and agreeing to finalise this acquisition is a great result for the Company.  We consider ourselves to be extremely lucky to have secured this tenure with considerable quartz veining being observed on the licence which confirms our view that this asset will ultimately be a significant asset of the Company and add real shareholder value over the coming year."

 

"Should we be fortunate to drill up a significant gold resource at Crofton next year, we will have a gold asset with two treatment plants within easy trucking distance. We are very bullish on the gold price heading into 2026, and we see a bright future for our shareholders pursuing this Western Australian gold strategy."
