31 Jul
Summary
- Sapphire lodes extend over 2.6 kilometers, remaining open at depth.
- Gem system defined over 4.7 kilometers with significant gold grades.
- Maiden mineral resource estimate is targeted for late 2026.

Ora Banda Mining has significantly extended the mineralized footprint at its high-grade Little Gem Prospect in Western Australia. Drilling has successfully traced the newly discovered Sapphire lodes across more than 2.6 kilometers of strike. These lodes have been defined down to approximately 200 meters below surface and remain open along strike and at depth.
Concurrent drilling efforts have also delivered further strong results from the established Gem lode system. This system is now defined over more than 4.7 kilometers of strike and to a depth of approximately 750 meters below surface. The company is continuing drilling operations ahead of a maiden mineral resource estimate targeted for completion in late 2026.
