BPM Minerals (ASX:BPM) has delivered its strongest Beachcomber result in the past year, with drilling returning 18m @ 4.93g/t Au from 245m.
That included 2m @ 16.62g/t Au and 1m @ 38.23g/t Au, adding another high-grade hit to the Main Lode at the Forelands Gold Project in WA.
Grade is holding at depth
The latest result sits in the deeper part of the Beachcomber system and strengthens the high-grade southerly plunging shoot.
Mineralisation has now been traced across around 300m of strike and 250m of dip, with the lode still open down plunge.
BPM also believes mineralised thickness may be increasing deeper in the system, with another nearby hole returning 15m @ 1.33g/t Au from 260m.
Beachcomber is starting to stack up
The new hit joins a growing list of high-grade results across the Main Lode.
Previous drilling has returned 3m @ 65.8g/t Au, 9m @ 7.77g/t Au and 2m @ 20.95g/t Au.
Together, those results are giving BPM a clearer high-grade core to build around as it works toward a maiden JORC Resource.

Plenty of assays still to come
BPM has completed 53 RC holes for 9,060m across the broader Beachcomber area.
Only the first nine holes from the Main Lode have been reported so far.
Another 44 completed holes are still waiting on assays, covering the Main Lode as well as Beachcomber North-West and Central.
That leaves plenty of news flow to come through Q4.
Bonnie & Clyde joins the action
Drilling is also set to restart at Bonnie & Clyde, where BPM is working through a 10,000m, 65-hole RC program.
The target sits across a 6km-long gold-in-soil anomaly along the broader Yellow Dam Shear Zone.
What comes next
Assays and drilling are all building towards the maiden Beachcomber Resource in H1 2027.
For now, the key point is simple.
Beachcomber is still open, the grade is still there, and the deeper BPM drills, the more interesting the system gets.
