Keystone Builds a Bigger Geological Picture

Western Ridge has reported a series of Keystone updates through 2026, including sampling results, confirmation of sulphide mineralisation and an exploration target that the company said reinforced the project’s scale potential. The sequence has steadily expanded the geological case around the project.

Drilling Adds the Next Layer

In June, the company confirmed a maiden drilling program for Keystone. That followed exploration work aimed at defining targets and understanding the mineralisation identified through earlier programs. Drilling provides the next opportunity to test the geological interpretations directly.

Funding Keeps the Program Moving

In August, Western Ridge announced a placement to advance Keystone exploration. The funding update came after the company released supplementary information around its Keystone Exploration Target in July, keeping the project at the centre of its near-term work program.
