Gold exploration is taking centre stage at Premier1 Lithium as Managing Director Jason Froud reveals the company's strategic pivot towards promising gold targets within their Western Australian portfolio. Demerged from SensOre last year with an initial lithium focus, Premier1 has adapted to challenging market conditions by unlocking the substantial gold potential hiding within their tenements.
The spotlight falls on their Yalgoo project, where recent drilling has delivered remarkable results. A 3,000-metre RC program uncovered significant intercepts including 7 metres at 4.3 g/t gold at Carlisle and an impressive 3 metres at 30 g/t gold at Crescent South. What makes these discoveries particularly exciting is that they represent mineralisation in areas largely untouched since limited drilling in the late 1980s. The Crescent shear zone alone offers kilometres of untested strike length with proven high-grade potential.
Premier1's disciplined exploration approach combines thorough historical data analysis with modern techniques—high-resolution drone magnetics, detailed geochemical sampling, and litho-structural studies—maximising their chances of success while carefully managing capital. This methodology has already yielded dividends with the discovery of a previously unrecognised mineralised system west of Olive Queen, confirming the gold-rich nature of the broader Yalgoo area.
Looking ahead, Premier1 has secured a $180,000 co-funded drilling grant under WA's Exploration Incentive Scheme for their Mount Kersey and Central Block targets, where rock chips have returned values up to 26 g/t gold along a 2-kilometre geochemical anomaly. Their Abbots North project is also showing early promise with rock chips up to 7 g/t gold. With results pending from Abbots North, imminent drilling at Carlisle, and the EIS-supported program at Mount Kersey commencing in August, Premier1 is poised for a catalyst-rich period that could significantly enhance their growing reputation as a focused gold explorer in prime Western Australian terrains.
