Star Minerals strikes shallow gold to extend its WA mine life
|

Bulls N' Bears
Star Minerals (ASX: SMS) has uncovered a new zone of high-grade, shallow gold at its Tumblegum South gold project near Meekatharra in Western Australia.
The latest drilling hits point to a potential resource extension some 120 metre along strike from the bonanza grade dirt at the Tumblegum resource area, with the new mineralisation remaining open along strike and at depth.
Some 2000m reverse circulation (RC) drilling has lit up with multiple high-grade gold lodes to the southwest, hinting at a repeat duplex structure that could extend the project’s shallow resource mine life.

The potential of the Tumblegum South project near Meekatharra in WA is growing with Star Minerals (ASX:SMS) recording infill drilling assays up to 5m grading 30.91g/t gold from 21m, including 2m at 75.45g/t.
Shallow, closed-spaced infill drilling was carried out at a density sufficient to delineate geological continuity of mineralisation to a high degree of confidence.
Results from 22 of 38 holes validate the geological model underpinning the resource of 45,000oz gold completed in 2023.
“We are pleased to see the quality of these first results from the Tumblegum South gold project drilling program,” MD Ashley Jones said.
“With the standout intercept so far being 5m at around an ounce of gold per tonne, Tumblegum South is proving to be an even stronger project, with a quality gold deposit.”
The company aims to start mining in Q1 2026 at Tumblegum South, which is near underutilised mills owned by Westgold Resources (ASX:WGX) and Catalyst Metals (ASX:CYL).

Gold Digger: There’s a sector of the market doing EVEN BETTER than gold producers
|
|
|
The Australian
It was a quiet week for the Mid West WA gold explorer, which is planning to start mining at the small Tumblegum South gold project in the first quarter of 2026.
That could be a tidy little money spinner, with pre-production costs of just $700,000 to $1.5 million predicted on a mine that would generate $9.4-19.6m in cash flow on just 11,800-15,900oz of gold production.
And that's at prices ranging from $3000-3800/oz, well below current levels. Mining approvals are in train, with the new streamlined process for small mining operations under the Mining Amendment Act 2022 to come into effect with the laws on September 9 this year.
There was a touch of intrigue this week, with Star's creeping share price prompting a trading halt on Thursday.
It's due to end on Monday when Star exits the halt to respond to not only the speeding ticket, but also with some much anticipated RC drilling results.
Only time will tell what's in store.

Star Minerals is aiming to become a small-scale gold producer at its 45,000oz Tumblegum South project as soon as 2026.
A scoping study for the project suggested at gold prices from A$3000 to A$3800/oz the updated production target for the project ranges from approximately 167,000t at 2.43g/t producing 11,800oz gold, to 255,000t at 2.16g/t producing 15,900oz gold.
That would generate an undiscounted accumulated cash surplus after payment of all working capital costs, but excluding pre-mining capital requirements, of approximately A$9.4m to A$19.6m.

Star Minerals greenlit to drill gold play ahead of toll treatment decision
|

Bulls N' Bears
Star Minerals (ASX:SMS) has secured government approval to fire up the rigs at its 45,000-ounce Tumblegum South project 40km south of Meekatharra in WA.
The 3000-metre reverse circulation drilling program is slated to kick off in early June, dependent on rig availability and has set the stage for a high-impact drill campaign to upgrade confidence in the existing gold resource and potentially even extend it.
The company will use the infill drilling to target shallow inferred resources within the bounds of its scoping study-defined pit shell. By tightening the drill spacing from 25m x 25m down to 12.5m x 10m, Star aims to convert much of the current inferred resource into the higher confidence indicated category ahead of a decision to produce millions in quick cashflow by toll treating the ore.

Star Minerals (ASX:SMS) received firm commitments for the placement to work on Tumblegum South and look at other opportunities, with Indian private equity giant Bain Global Resources taking part as a new strategic shareholder.
It’s the latest move the cashed-up investor has made in the WA junior gold space, and could lead to further support down the line like Bain has given to Rumble Resources and Legacy Iron Ore.
There’s already a 45,000oz contained gold resource in place on a granted mining lease at Star’s Tumblegum South, which the company believes can be swiftly brought into production.

Star Minerals is fast-tracking plans to mine its promising 45,000-ounce Tumblegum South gold project, 40 kilometres south of Meekatharra in Western Australia, after issuing 64 million new shares to raise $1.6 million in fresh cash.
The decision to press the go button on Tumblegum South was prompted in large part by the strong recent interest from exploration companies and mining contractors wishing to partner with the company to monetise the asset at a time of all-time high gold prices.
As part of the capital raising, Star attracted BGR Mining and Infra Limited - one of India’s largest mining contractors - to its register. Management says that as a strategic investor BGR has been lured by the economics of the project against a backdrop of a buoyant metal price.
