Barton Gold Managing Director Alexander Scanlan joined Steve Darling from Proactive to provide an update on the company’s ongoing exploration programs and recent milestones in South Australia. Diamond drilling has commenced at the Tolmer prospect within the Tarcoola Gold Project, with an initial three-hole program totaling ~550 metres. The campaign is targeting the ‘eastern gold zone’ to investigate structural controls and guide future exploration. Barton has been advancing on several fronts following its high-grade discoveries in the region. In August 2024, the company announced a significant gold discovery at Tolmer, followed in March 2025 by one of Australia’s highest-grade modern silver discoveries located ~500 metres to the west. The eastern gold zone and western silver zone discoveries have delivered standout grades of up to 83.6 g/t gold and 17,600 g/t silver, with both metals present in each zone. Recent RC drilling has further extended the western silver zone, confirming broad silver mineralisation alongside high-grade gold across a mineralised footprint approximately 1.5 km wide. Grades of up to 117 g/t silver were encountered in fresh rock, with further work underway to determine the source of this enrichment. Scanlan also highlighted the company’s progress at the Wudinna Gold Project, where Barton has now secured all exploration licenses for the newly acquired tenements. This strategic acquisition was one of the first under South Australia’s updated regulatory framework, which allows tenement subdivisions and could encourage greater investment across the state’s mining sector. Adding to its exploration strength, Barton holds a key advantage as the owner of the only gold mill in the Gawler Craton. The 650 ktpa processing plant features a full crushing, grinding, gravity, CIP leaching, and electrowinning circuit to produce gold doré, positioning the company uniquely for future development. #proactiveinvestors #bartongoldholdings #asx #bgd #otcqb #bgdff #gold #mining #tolmer #SilverDiscovery #Tarcoola #GawlerCraton #ASX #JuniorMiner #MillRestart #GoldProduction #MiningAustralia #Tunkillia #MineralExploration #FeasibilityStudy
