Verity Resources Secures Botswana Licence Renewal Over Airstrip and Dibete Discoveries
Verity Resources (ASX: VRL) has commenced diamond drilling at its wholly-owned Monument Gold Project in Western Australia's gold-rich Laverton district as part of a comprehensive Phase 2 drilling program aimed at resource expansion and upgrade.
Verity has initiated a substantial 6,400-meter drilling campaign at its Monument Gold Project, beginning with diamond drilling at the project's 154,000-ounce gold resource. The program forms part of a systematic approach to expand and upgrade the current resource base while positioning the company for future development studies.
The Phase 2 program consists of:
This follows successful first-batch results from the Phase 1 RC drilling that delivered consistent gold intercepts averaging above 1 g/t Au across 38 drill holes, with additional Phase 1 results still pending.
"This Phase 2 drilling campaign is designed to increase our geological confidence and facilitate upgrading the existing 154,000-ounce resource from JORC (2012) Inferred to Indicated confidence level, as a precursor to the next phase of scoping studies," said the company.
The drilling program is strategically focused on two key objectives:
Importantly, both the Korong and Waihi deposits offer significant potential for resource growth, with mineralization remaining open in all directions and at depth.
BIF-hosted gold deposits represent some of the most significant gold resources in Western Australia's goldfields. These distinctive geological formations consist of alternating layers of iron-rich minerals and silica, creating ideal structural and chemical traps for gold mineralization.
What makes these deposits particularly attractive to investors is their potential for:
At Monument, Verity is exploring approximately 20km of relatively untested BIF horizon, interpreted as the same unit that hosts the significant 1.4Moz Westralia gold deposit directly southeast of Monument. To date, only about 10% of this potential 20km strike length has been tested with detailed drilling.
The Monument Gold Project occupies a prime position within Western Australia's world-class Laverton Gold District, offering multiple strategic advantages:
This location within a prolific gold district surrounded by multi-million-ounce deposits and established infrastructure significantly enhances the project's development potential.
| Deposit | Tonnes | Grade (g/t) | Gold (oz) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Korong | 3,034,000 | 1.4 | 139,000 |
| Waihi | 223,000 | 2.1 | 15,000 |
| Total | 3,257,000 | 1.4 | 154,000 |
While the current drilling focuses on the established 154,000-ounce resource, the Verity Resources Monument Gold Project offers substantial exploration upside:
These untested targets represent significant potential for future resource growth beyond the current drilling focus areas.
While the Monument Gold Project represents Verity's Australian flagship, the company has built a diversified portfolio that includes:
This multi-asset approach provides investors with exposure to both gold and critical minerals essential for the energy transition.
