Ora Banda Mining Western Australia Drilling Confirms High-Grade Continuity, Expansion Potential, Euroz Hartleys Says
Ora Banda Mining (ASX:OBM) has delivered strong high-grade drilling results at its Golden Pole lode, supporting underground development potential and resource growth at the Waihi Project near the Davyhurst plant, Euroz Hartleys said in a note on Tuesday.Targeted infill and extensional drilling in the latest 22-hole program returned results, including three meters at 44 grams per tonne grade of gold, including two meters at nearly 65 g/t grade of gold, and 11 meters at 11 g/t gold, including two meters at 48 g/t grade of gold.The firm noted that the results de-risk Golden Pole as a near-term underground development, with consistent high-grade intercepts confirming grade continuity and mining potential.The firm said the project's proximity to the Davyhurst plant supports low-capital intensity growth through potential reserve conversion, with Waihi increasingly seen as a third underground feed source supporting the company's production expansion strategy.Euroz added that ongoing drilling success is expected to support a resource update and maiden underground reserve estimate targeted for the early June quarter, as the company advances its strategy to expand production through inventory growth and infrastructure leverage.Euroz Hartleys kept a buy rating on Ora Banda Mining with a price target of AU$1.88.
