iTech Minerals has delivered its strongest drill result to date at the Sabre Prospect, hitting a thick zone of high-grade gold and antimony at its 100%-owned Reynolds Range Project in the Northern Territory.
The standout hole returned:
- 36m @ 5.60g/t Au and 1.2% Sb from 81m
- Including 8m @ 13.41g/t Au and 1.9% Sb
- And 2m @ 8.30g/t Au and 7.8% Sb
Individual metre samples reached as high as 63g/t gold and 13.7% antimony.
Bigger and better at depth
The latest drilling confirms a continuous, steeply dipping gold-antimony zone that appears to be increasing in both grade and thickness at depth.
This is the key takeaway.
Sabre is not closing off. It remains open down dip and along strike, giving iTech a clear pathway for follow-up drilling.
Additional results included 13m @ 1.30g/t Au from SBRC26-002, while further mineralisation was returned across the next two holes.

A stronger geological model
The style of mineralisation at Sabre shares similarities with major epizonal gold-antimony systems seen in central Victoria, including Sunday Creek, Fosterville and Costerfield.
For investors, the latest drilling gives iTech a much clearer picture of the structure, orientation and scale of the system.
Managing Director Mike Schwarz said the result has materially strengthened confidence in Sabre’s growth potential.
What comes next
Follow-up drilling is already underway, targeting deeper extensions and open strike to the northeast.
Results are still pending from two Sabre holes and nine holes at the nearby Falchion Prospect, while new soil sampling and drone magnetic surveys will help generate the next round of targets.
Sabre has delivered the best hit yet.
Now the focus shifts to how far the system can run.
