Venus Project – Yilgarn District
Hamelin’s Venus Gold Project covers ~300 km² of granted exploration tenure,15 km southeast of Cue in the heart of the resurgent +15Moz Murchison goldfield. Hamelin is one of the largest tenement holders in the Cue region with tenure covering the southern extensions of both the Tuckabianna and Comet gold corridors as well as large areas of unexplored and prospective greenstone stratigraphy.
A large portion of the Venus tenements are concealed by lake sediments (Lake Austin) and the area has seen minimal previous exploration. The collection of baseline geochemical and geophysical datasets, as well as the compilation and integration of historical drilling information has now been completed (refer to ASX Announcement 27 January 2026).
A large portion of the tenement is covered by lake sediments and the area has seen minimal exploration activity in the past.
Interpretation of the detailed aeromagnetics across the Venus project has highlighted a number of outstanding undercover, untested structural targets.
A lake based aircore drilling program is planned to test a series of targets across the southern portion of Lake Austin. This 130 hole program is designed to outline regolith gold anomalism, confirm geological interpretation and define the depth of cover sediments.
