The reverse circulation (RC) program, which is slated to kick off in the next week or two, will test the Clifton East prospect with about 1000 metres of drilling, comprising 11 holes averaging roughly 100 metres deep.
The target features a prominent 1.2km-long soil and structural anomaly associated with multiple parallel and oblique quartz veins hosted within a major east to east-northeast trending fault system.
The prospect also sits adjacent to a significant lithological contact between high- and low-magnetic granitoids – a classic setting for gold mineralisation – where large regional structures act as conduits for fluids, often intruded by later dolerite dykes.
Previous rock-chip sampling by Augustus returned high-grade results, which included hits of 50.3g/t, 29.8g/t and 21.3g/t gold.
Notably, the nearest historical drilling lies 5km to the west, leaving the Clifton East gold anomalism completely below surface.
After Augustus has run its maiden Music Well RC program, expected to take about three months, it will follow up the work with a phase two soil sampling campaign to further refine and expand its pipeline of drill targets across the project.
With heritage clearance now in hand and strong early surface geochemistry, Music Well is positioned for an exciting start to 2026 as Augustus advances its flagship Western Australian gold asset in one of the nation’s premier gold regions.
