Multiple Gold Targets identified at Darlot West

Summary by AI BETAClose X

Cloudbreak Discovery Plc has identified multiple gold targets at its Darlot West Gold Project in Western Australia, following a high-resolution magnetic survey and geochemical sampling. The interpretation suggests a similar structural setting to the nearby Darlot Gold Mine, with the Darlot/Centenary Sill potentially controlling gold mineralization. High-tenor rock chip results have been reported, including assays of 65.75 g/t Au and 40.44 g/t Au, alongside the recovery of gold nuggets. The company plans to expand geochemical sampling and prepare for a maiden drill program, aiming to leverage the current strong gold price and the active Western Australian gold sector.

Multiple Gold Targets identified at Darlot West

 

Cloudbreak Discovery Plc (LSE: CDL), a London Stock Exchange Main Market listed company, is pleased to announce that multiple gold targets have been identified from a geological and structural interpretation based on the recently completed high resolution magnetic survey. The interpretation is supported by recent excellent results from the initial trial geochemical soil sampling program and rock chip sampling programs from the Darlot West Gold Project ("Darlot West"), located only 10km southwest of the iconic Darlot Gold Mine in Western Australia with production of 2.8 million ounces of gold produced to date, and 25km north of Northern Star Limited Thunderbox Gold Mine with annual production of 232koz and resource of 4.7Moz and Reserve of 1.96Moz gold. (Figure 1).

 

The interpretation further validates the Company's view on the potential of the Darlot West Gold Project, and the multiple gold targets identified indicate a similar structural setting to the Darlot Gold Mine. The Darlot/Centenary Sill, the key gold mineralisation event at Darlot, is interpreted to be present at Darlot West. Geological efforts will focus on the interpretation with expansion of the geochemical sampling program over the project area, with the aim of generating multiple vectors for the maiden drill program.



Multiple high tenor rock chip results over 1g/t gold (reported on 24 October 2025) and  recovery of gold nuggets from the project (reported on 24 October 2025), bodes well for future exploration.

 

High Tenor of Rock chip results over 10 g/t include:

65.75 g/t Au (2.11 ounces of gold per tonne)

40.44 g/t Au (1.30 ounces of gold per tonne)

27.23 g/t Au

19.79 g/t Au

15.89 g/t Au

15.40 g/t Au

14.39 g/t Au

13.99 g/t Au

12.66 g/t Au

12.45 g/t Au

10.78 g/t Au

Tom Evans, Cloudbreak's MD, commented; "Multiple new gold targets is a great outcome from the high-resolution magnetic interpretation, with the Darlot/Centenary Sill interpreted to also control gold mineralisation at Darlot West, as it does at the Darlot Gold Mine located 10km away. This now gives us a clear path forward to develop this high tenor gold project. A geochemical sampling program will further refine the new and existing targets and add a multiple vector to rank targets and anomalies for maiden drill testing. The gold price continues to hit historical highs and the booming Western Australian gold sector is a great place for Cloudbreak to continue building a portfolio of quality assets. I look forward to updating shareholders as we move towards maiden drilling."

 

Future plans and work programs:

·    Expand the geochemical sampling grid across the project.

·    Plan for maiden drill program
