Kingwest Resources Limited announced that infill drilling will recommence shortly at the Menzies Gold Project, focused on the Stirling and Pericles deposits. Following the encouraging results from the December 2022 drilling programme, a further 1,000m RC programme has been planned for the purposes of testing for higher grade material and increasing confidence in the resource estimation. The drilling will also allow conceptual targeting of parallel lodes similar to those seen at the adjacent Lady Shenton pit which encompasses the Lady Shenton, Falconer and Big Babe lodes which accounted for 221,350 ounces of historical production from 1896 to 1999.

The Pericles and Stirling Deposits Mineral Resource Estimates include approximately 52% of inferred material located within 125m of the surface, which requires infill drilling to improve confidence in lode geometry and gold grades. Mineralization at these deposits is open at depth which will require follow up drilling to target resource extensions to the known mineralization.
