Sentinel Exploration Limited reports the follow up diamond drilling program which was a twin to the RC Hole 057, within the Company’s Marda East Gold Project has been completed.
Following the Virgin Gold Discovery of 30m @ 1.12g/t Gold from 12m at Marda East announced in July 2026, this program was launched in August 2026.
Sentinel’s geological team is finalising core logging on site, while Terra Drilling prepares to demobilise the rig and equipment. The core will then be sent to Perth, where a structural geologist will carry out detailed analysis, before it’s cut and prepared for assay.
A key objective of this program was to recover high-quality, continuous core, giving Sentinel a level of structural detail that RC drilling alone doesn’t capture.
Managing Director Simon Adams commented:
“With the second and final hole now complete, diamond drilling at Sentinel Exploration’s Marda East Gold Project has concluded.
Combined with our existing RC data, this new dataset will sharpen our understanding of the geology, structural controls and orientation of mineralisation at Marda East. That improved picture will directly inform our exploration model and the next steps for the project.
Drilling may be done for now, but there’s still plenty of work ahead, and plenty to learn from the core.”
Sentinel looks forward to providing further updates on the Marda East story.
