EIS grant (14 October 2026)

MB Gold was awarded up to $220,000 under the Western Australian EIS Co-funded Drilling Program toward a maiden diamond program at Murphy Well. It is the second EIS award this year after $100,000 in April 2026 for a dipole-dipole IP survey completed in July.

Targets and timetable

The IP survey, processed by Terra Resources, identified three high-priority chargeability anomalies within and near the edge of the Murphy Well Granodiorite, which may represent sulphide accumulation linked to an intrusion-related or structural gold and base metal system. A 2,000 metre diamond campaign with DDH1 is scheduled for November 2026, with assays expected in the first quarter of 2027.
