Auric Mining has started a new drilling program at its Munda gold mine/project in Western Australia’s Goldfields. Multiple outlets report the company is using the drilling “blitz” to expand its recently upgraded gold resource and to help underpin an ore reserve. The reporting also links the work to advancing a planned restart of mining operations in 2027.
One source specifies that the resource being expanded is 192,000 ounces, following an upgrade. Across the articles, the drilling is described as part of the technical work needed to convert expanded geological resources into reserves and to support longer-term project planning. While the coverage focuses on the purpose and timing of the drilling, it does not provide additional operational details such as drilling locations, schedule, or cost.
Overall, the articles present a consistent picture: Auric initiates drilling at Munda to extend and build upon the upgraded resource, support reserve development, and move toward a 2027 restart of mining activity in WA’s Goldfields.
