Tempest Minerals (ASX:TEM) has kicked off a major field campaign at its Mt Magnet Range Project in Western Australia, signalling a renewed focus on uncovering gold potential in one of WA’s most historic mining belts. The program features detailed rock-chip sampling and geological mapping to refine targets ahead of upcoming drill programs.
Key developments include:
Identification of five priority targets—Rubicon, Wrangler, Defender, Evoke, and Cruiser—spanning nearly a 7 km strike length across varied geological setting
The Wrangler prospect stands out, with rock chips showing 1 g/t gold in quartz-tourmaline veining, located 170 m along strike from an open pit
- Tempest has engaged specialists for structural and stratigraphic reinterpretation, with upcoming geochemical sampling, alteration mapping, and legacy sample analysis set to converge into a drill-ready target mode
This work enhances Tempest’s position among ASX-listed gold mining companies, anchoring its strategy around gold exploration projects in Western Australia—and positioning the Range Project as a high-conviction addition to the portfolio.
