Aureka Limited (ASX: AKA) is pleased to provide an operational update on the commencement of diamond drilling at a second project across the portfolio. The company is currently conducting a 7,000m continuous exploration works program for 2025, with diamond drilling underway at both the Irvine (Stawell Corridor) Project and Tandarra Gold Project JV (Bendigo Zone). At the Tandarra Gold Project JV, a six-hole diamond drilling program at the Lawry prospect aims to increase the footprint of mineralization, with assay results expected after the program concludes in February. This follows a successful 2024 campaign that confirmed multiple zones of gold mineralization. Limited Air Core drilling has also started on RL6660. The Irvine Gold Project has shown strong progress in recent weeks, with a 2,000-meter diamond drilling program ongoing. Initial observations indicate the presence of sulphide minerals, with samples to be analyzed in the laboratory for mineral content. Investors are encouraged to ask questions and stay informed through the company's InvestorHub platform. For more information, visit www.aureka.com.au or reach out to info@aureka.com.au.
