Moonlight Resources has begun its first reverse circulation (RC) drilling at the Peak Downs copper prospect in Queensland, according to multiple reports. The drilling campaign is designed to test whether a previously identified but underexplored high-grade copper system at the historic site can be located and potentially re-established. Coverage describes the Peak Downs project as “historic,” suggesting past attention to the area but with new work now underway to evaluate its remaining potential. The operator’s stated objective is to assess whether copper mineralisation associated with the earlier concepts can be confirmed through drilling, supporting further evaluation of the prospect. The reports note that the current program is described as “maiden” RC drilling, indicating this is the first RC drilling by Moonlight at Peak Downs and a key early step in the company’s exploration efforts at the site.
