Barton Gold Holdings (BGDFF) has expedited follow-up drilling at its Tarcoola Gold Project's Tolmer 'silver zone' discovery in South Australia. The initial discovery, made in March 2025, consisted of seven drill holes that yielded three globally significant high-grade silver assays. Notable intercepts include:

  • TBAC130: 6m @ 4,747 g/t Ag, including 1m @ 17,600 g/t Ag
  • TBM227: 4m @ 1,417 g/t Ag, including 1m @ 3,790 g/t Ag
  • TBM228: Multiple intervals including 14m @ 434 g/t Ag

Bullion Drilling has been engaged for the follow-up drilling program, which is scheduled to commence next week. The company's Managing Director highlighted these results as unusually high-grade for Australia.
