Larvotto Resources is turning heads as drilling confirms continuity of high-grade gold, antimony and tungsten, strengthening Hillgrove’s potential as a multi-commodity growth hub.
“Larvotto’s ongoing drilling at the Freehold prospect continues to deliver strong and consistent results, reinforcing the upside potential of this historic mining area,” Larvotto Resource managing director Ron Heeks said.
“With antimony, gold and tungsten prices at or near record levels, these results strengthen our confidence in the opportunity to establish a new underground mining centre at Freehold, adjacent to the existing processing plant.”
The diamond drilling program, just 1.2km from the Hillgrove processing plant, is confirming continuity of gold and antimony mineralisation across multiple lodes. Far from isolated hits, the results point to a coherent mineral system with high-grade tungsten also present, boosting the New South Wales project’s multi-commodity appeal.
Freehold has a storied history, from late-19th-century surface mining to an underground antimony-gold operation. Larvotto is now applying modern exploration techniques to extend known lodes, test parallel structures and validate recent geophysical surveys.
“The potential of the extent of the Hillgrove mineral field continues to impress the exploration team as a deeper understanding of it is gained,” Heeks said. “Drilling and associated exploration in the area is ongoing.”
With drilling ongoing at Freehold and parallel programs at the Metz and Swamp Creek prospects, Larvotto is steadily building the case for Hillgrove to once again become a major mining hub.
