GEO Exploration Limited (LSE:GEO) has commenced its 2026 exploration programme at the Gorge Project in Western Australia as it moves closer to an initial drilling campaign at the historically gold-bearing licence area.
The company said the work programme is centred on a geoscience-led exploration strategy designed to refine future drill targets across a five-kilometre corridor containing historic gold workings. Current activities include high-resolution airborne geophysical surveys incorporating LiDAR mapping and magnetic data collection, alongside ongoing field reconnaissance.
Geophysical surveys and soil programmes underway
According to the company, LiDAR mapping and aerial photography have already been completed ahead of schedule. Magnetic and radiometric surveys are now in progress, together with an orientation soil geochemistry programme intended to verify and expand upon historical rock, soil and drainage sampling results.
Management described the Gorge Project as a high-priority asset within the portfolio, noting that both the early exploration progress and historical datasets provide encouraging signs of a potentially significant primary bedrock gold source within the licence area.
Focus remains on defining maiden drill targets
The exploration work is intended to narrow down priority targets ahead of a maiden drilling programme as GEO Exploration continues to evaluate the project’s broader mineral potential.
Historical exploration at the site has identified high-grade gold samples and nugget occurrences, which the company believes may indicate the presence of a larger underlying gold system.
