Aureka Limited (ASX: AKA) has released an amended ASX announcement titled ‘Drilling identifies Early Presence of Sulphide Minerals’. The announcement has been amended to comply with ASX guidance on disclosure of visual observations of mineralization. Drilling at Irvine has identified the visual presence of sulphide minerals within surrounding sediments and within the Irvine Basalt. Samples from Diamond Drill Hole RD045 are being prepared for analysis lab, with geophysical survey data confirming targets at Benno and Irvine domes.

Aureka is expecting a strong start to 2025 from project operations, with progress seen at the Irvine Stawell Corridor Project and Tandarra. Geophysical work has refined the potential strike extension of gold trends at St Arnaud. The company is conducting a diamond drilling program below the Comstock pit at St Arnaud.

The company cautions that visual estimates of sulphide abundance should not be considered a substitute for laboratory analysis, and results from lab analysis are expected within the next two months. Aureka is continuing its exploration efforts with plans for additional drilling in areas showing positive results. Investors are encouraged to reach out with any questions they may have regarding the announcement.
