East Star Resources (LSE:EST) has successfully completed its drilling campaign at the VMS copper targets and the Verkhuba Copper Deposit in East Kazakhstan. Sulphide mineralization was logged in every hole, with assay results still pending.
The company plans to carry out additional exploration work, including geophysical surveys and follow-up drilling, with an updated resource model expected in Q4 2025. The program was delivered safely and within budget, and early signs of mineralization beyond the existing resource boundary suggest potential to expand the company’s resource base and strengthen its market position.
