Flynn Gold Hits 13.5g/t Gold Core in Polymetallic System Open at Depth and Strike

Flynn Gold's Firetower Project has returned multiple zones of polymetallic gold-tungsten-copper-cobalt mineralisation from its 2026 diamond drilling programme, with a standout 13.5g/t Au high-grade core and a clear pathway to a maiden Mineral Resource Estimate — all at a $12.2M market cap.

Summarise with AI:

Flynn Gold has reported multiple zones of polymetallic gold-tungsten-copper-cobalt mineralisation from its 2026 diamond drilling programme at the 100%-owned Firetower Project in northern Tasmania. The standout hole, 2019FTD015E, delivered 12.5m @ 0.55g/t Au, 0.11% WO₃, 0.09% Cu, 0.10% Co from 158.5m, with mineralisation remaining open at depth and along strike. Assays are pending for two further holes, expected in September 2026. The company holds $1.12M in cash (30 June 2026) with nil debt, and trades at $0.019 per share with a market cap of $12.2M.


Standout results from drill hole 2019FTD015E

The extension drilling at 2019FTD015E intersected three distinct mineralised zones, each demonstrating the repeatability of broad envelopes hosting ultra-high-grade cores. That repeatability builds confidence in the geological model and supports the case for continuity across the system.

Key intercepts include:

  • 1.9m @ 2.02g/t Au, 0.56% WO₃, 0.11% Cu, 0.12% Co from 167.3m (within the broader 12.5m zone)
  • 1.20m @ 2.1g/t Au, 0.23% WO₃, 0.53% Cu, 0.10% Co from 194.8m
  • 2.35m @ 1.46g/t Au, 0.21% WO₃, 0.55% Cu, 0.09% Co from 241.9m, including 0.20m @ 13.5g/t Au, 2.26% WO₃, 4.37% Cu, 0.74% Co and 53.4g/t Ag from 242.35m

The presence of discrete, exceptionally high-grade zones within broader intervals is a consistent feature across the drilling to date. The 13.5g/t Au intercept over 0.20m at depth demonstrates the system’s capacity to concentrate grade in narrow, high-value structures.

Hole ID Interval (m) Gold (Au g/t) Tungsten (WO₃ %) Notable Co-metals
2019FTD014E 9.64m @ 200.13m 2.49 0.29 0.52% Cu, 0.04% Co, 9.9g/t Ag
2019FTD015E 12.5m @ 158.5m 0.55 0.11 0.09% Cu, 0.10% Co, 4.5g/t Ag
2019FTD015E (high-grade core) 0.20m @ 242.35m 13.5 2.26 4.37% Cu, 0.74% Co, 53.4g/t Ag
FT-2026-001 1.35m @ 222.75m 1.06 0.19 0.49% Cu, 0.19% Co, 7.0g/t Ag

A polymetallic system taking shape

The 2026 drilling confirms continuity of the Firetower system over significant vertical and strike extents. Hole 2019FTD014E intersected mineralisation approximately 83m down-dip of historical hole 2019FTD007E, extending the system to more than 200m vertical depth from surface. Hole FT-2026-001, drilled from the same pad to test depth extensions, intersected three separate mineralised zones.

The system now demonstrates continuity over approximately 250m strike length and up to 200m vertical depth, with both dimensions remaining open. That open geometry is material — it tells you the system has not been closed off, and further drilling has defined targets to pursue.

Neil Marston, Managing Director & CEO

“These latest assay results at Firetower confirm the presence of multiple zones of polymetallic mineralisation with three zones of gold, tungsten, copper and cobalt mineralisation intersected. The mineralised zones remain open along strike and at depth.”


Why gold-tungsten matters

Tungsten is a critical metal used in hard-wearing industrial applications — cutting tools, drilling equipment, defence components — and sits on government critical minerals lists globally. A polymetallic system carrying gold, tungsten, copper and cobalt means multiple potential revenue streams from a single drill target, rather than reliance on a single commodity price.

Firetower sits within the Mt Read Volcanics, one of Australia’s premier volcanic-hosted mineral provinces, which has produced several world-class deposits. For investors, the combination of a precious metal (gold) and critical metals (tungsten, cobalt) at a $12.2M market cap ahead of a maiden resource estimate is the exposure proposition — diversified commodity leverage at an early valuation entry point.


The road to a maiden Mineral Resource Estimate

Flynn Gold has outlined a clear, sequenced pathway from current drilling through to a maiden Mineral Resource Estimate. The planned 2026 activities are:

  1. Review of historical geophysical surveys across the entire project area (currently underway)
  2. Metallurgical testwork (drill core being used to support this)
  3. Geological modelling leading to estimation of a maiden Mineral Resource Estimate

Pathway to Maiden Mineral Resource Estimate

Assays for two further holes — FT-2026-002 and 2019TFD003E — are expected in September 2026, providing a near-term catalyst. A 6km mineralised trend has been identified across the broader project, signalling upside beyond the current drill focus.

The company’s balance sheet — $1.12M cash, nil debt — provides funding certainty for the immediate workstream. What this sequence delivers is defined milestones: assays in September, metallurgy results, then geological modelling and a maiden resource. Each step narrows the valuation uncertainty and gives the market verifiable progress to price in.

The Firetower drilling programme has confirmed a polymetallic system extending over 250m of strike and 200m vertical depth, with mineralisation open in both dimensions. Flynn Gold is advancing towards a maiden Mineral Resource Estimate with a clear technical pathway and funded balance sheet.

Assays from two additional holes are due in September 2026, with metallurgical testwork underway and geological modelling to follow—each step designed to de-risk the deposit and define its economic potential.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Flynn Gold Firetower polymetallic discovery?

The Firetower Project is a 100%-owned Flynn Gold exploration asset in northern Tasmania that has returned multiple zones of gold, tungsten, copper and cobalt mineralisation from 2026 diamond drilling, with the system now confirmed over approximately 250m of strike length and 200m of vertical depth.

Why is tungsten significant in Flynn Gold's Firetower drilling results?

Tungsten is a critical mineral used in cutting tools, drilling equipment and defence components, and sits on government critical minerals lists globally — meaning Firetower's polymetallic profile gives Flynn Gold exposure to both precious and critical metal demand drivers from a single deposit.

When will Flynn Gold release assay results from its remaining 2026 drill holes?

Assays from two additional holes — FT-2026-002 and 2019TFD003E — are expected in September 2026, representing the next near-term catalyst ahead of geological modelling and a maiden Mineral Resource Estimate.

What is Flynn Gold's current cash position and market capitalisation?

As of 30 June 2026, Flynn Gold holds $1.12M in cash with nil debt, and trades at $0.019 per share with a market capitalisation of $12.2M.

What is the pathway to a maiden Mineral Resource Estimate at Firetower?

Flynn Gold's sequenced plan includes review of historical geophysical surveys (currently underway), metallurgical testwork using drill core, and geological modelling — with September 2026 assay results feeding directly into the resource estimation process.
