Forgent plc (LSE:FORG) has finished the first phase of drilling at its Peak Hills gold-copper project in Western Australia, marking another step forward in the evaluation of the Karalundi, Junction and Curleys prospects. The programme was designed to confirm historic exploration results, expand known mineralised zones and investigate additional targets to support a better understanding of the project’s resource potential.
The drilling campaign included 40 holes covering approximately 2,680 metres, using both aircore and reverse circulation methods to accommodate different geological conditions across the site. A total of 1,587 samples have been submitted to an independent laboratory in Perth for analysis, with assay results expected to guide the next stage of exploration and help determine the project’s future development potential.
The company’s outlook remains constrained by weak financial fundamentals, including continuing losses, leverage and negative cash flow. Technical indicators also remain unfavourable, reflecting a prolonged share price downtrend, while valuation metrics offer little support due to the absence of positive earnings and dividend data.
