Lightning Minerals is ramping up activity at its Mt Turner Gold Project in Queensland, with site works already underway ahead of a 1,000-metre drilling campaign set to begin in the next two months.
This move follows Lightning’s proposed acquisition of Lotus Minerals — a deal that brings advanced-stage gold and copper assets into the portfolio. While the acquisition is still subject to final approvals, early exploration at Mt Turner is progressing through a funding agreement with Lotus.
Lightning Minerals’ Managing Director Alex Biggs said: "With strong targets and excellent previous results we are confident that this is the beginning of a strong period for the Company. With gold at near all-time highs now is the opportunity to make a discovery."
Soil sampling is also set to kick off this week, and Lightning Minerals is expected to provide further updates following its EGM — and as drilling begins at Mt Turner.
