Latest Development: September 2026 Quarterly Report (26 October 2026)
Augustus reported that assay results from the June 2026 Reverse Circulation Drilling program at the Clifton East prospect at Music Well were returned during the quarter. The highest grade drilled to date was 1 metre at 19.5 g/t gold from 73 metres in hole MWRC0019. Other results included 8 metres at 3.27 g/t gold from 72 metres in MWRC0019.
Gold mineralisation has been identified over a 400-metre strike within the broader 1.2-kilometre gold-in-soil anomaly. The first diamond hole at Clifton East was completed to 201.7 metres, and structural measurements indicate that higher grades appear to relate to steeply dipping pyritic quartz veins.
Latest Development: Next-Phase Drilling
A next-phase RC drilling program commenced in late August, and the company said the interpretation of structural controls has identified two main shoots open to the north-north-east. The company's activities also cover the Mt Kare, Vanapa River and Ti-Tree projects.
About the Company
Augustus Minerals is an exploration company holding a portfolio of gold and mineral projects, with its activity focused on drilling, structural interpretation and soil sampling. Its work is aimed at defining mineralised trends before any resource estimate is considered.
Sector Context
Gold exploration in Papua New Guinea and other remote jurisdictions can involve logistical, permitting and community considerations that affect the pace of work. Junior explorers commonly use diamond and reverse circulation drilling together, with diamond core supporting structural and geological interpretation.
Risks to Watch
Highest-grade intersections can be narrow and may not represent the wider mineralised zone. The company has several projects, so spending must be allocated across them. Further drilling may not confirm the open trends, and exploration funding may need to be raised.
Catalysts on Watch
Investors will be watching for the results from the next-phase RC program and for further diamond drilling outcomes at Clifton East. Progress on the other projects and the next quarterly report will also show how the company is advancing its portfolio.
