The latest announcement is out from Beacon Minerals ( (AU:BCN) ).

Beacon Minerals has begun its maiden reverse circulation drilling campaign at the Lady Ida–Lizard project near Kalgoorlie, deploying a JBell Drilling rig to complete 2,200 metres targeting zones of high-grade gold mineralisation. The program is designed to convert historical drilling data into a defined resource, with consultant Entech already engaged on resource modelling and a maiden Lizard Resource anticipated in the coming quarter.

The Lizard deposit lies south of the Iguana deposit and hosts the largest historic open pit within the Lady Ida project, where mineralisation is vertically oriented, associated with a key sedimentary horizon and shows strong grade continuity along strike. Beacon’s review of legacy drilling indicates meaningful potential to extend the deposit both along strike and at depth, suggesting that a successful program could materially enhance the project’s resource base and support future production and growth options for the company.

The most recent analyst rating on (AU:BCN) stock is a Hold with a A$3.50 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Beacon Minerals stock, see the AU:BCN Stock Forecast page.
