East Star Resources ( (GB:EST) ) just unveiled an update.
East Star Resources has reported encouraging drill results from its Verkhuba copper deposit in Kazakhstan, confirming deep zinc and copper mineralisation and identifying extensions of shallow mineralisation to the north. The 2025 programme tightened drill spacing in the central deep orebody, intersecting significant intervals such as 17.9 metres grading 0.66% zinc and 0.10% copper, and revealed structural faulting that will require further infill drilling. Shallow drilling returned one notable intercept of 2 metres at 0.93% zinc, 0.08% copper and 0.17% lead, but also highlighted the need for additional work to understand controls on near-surface mineralisation. The results refine Verkhuba’s geological model and have helped the company and its joint-venture partner Xinhai define study areas for 2026, with upcoming work to focus on shallower resources and a ground EM survey to assess the potential for undiscovered massive sulphides, moving the project closer to potential development and a future mining licence application.
