Astral Resources NL announced that it has commenced drilling at the 100%-owned Feysville Gold Project (Feysville or Project), located 14km south of both Kalgoorlie and the 70Moz Super Pit owned by Northern Star Limited (NST) in Western Australia. A 1,500m, 9-hole diamond drill (DD) program commenced on 25 November. The program is expected to be completed prior to the New Year, with results expected early in the March Quarter.

A follow up 23-hole/2,500m Reverse Circulation (RC) drill program is scheduled to commence early in January 2023. Feysville is located within the north, north-west trending Norseman ­ Wiluna Greenstone Belt, within the Kambalda Domain of the Archean Yilgarn Craton. Significant gold and nickel mineralisation occurs throughout the belt, with deposits such as the Golden Mile (Northern Star's Superpit) in Kalgoorlie and the St Ives Gold Mine south of Kambalda occurring within this belt.

Locally, Feysville has been interpreted to contain upthrust ultramafics, emplaced within a sequence of volcanic sediments (the Black Flag sediment group), granitic intrusions, mafic basalts, gabbro and andesite. Work on the Mandilla MRE update is well advanced and remains on track for the December Quarter 2022. Assay results from recently completed diamond drilling at Hestia, as well from hole MDRCD652 drilled on the eastern flank of Theia, are currently being processed and are expected to be the subject of a further announcement in coming weeks.

Preparations are currently underway for an RC program at Mandilla, which will include in-fill drilling at Hestia and Theia as well bedrock testing of Eos. This is scheduled to immediately follow completion of the Feysville RC program.
