StockBox speaks with Tristan Pottas, CEO of First Development Resources (AIM: FDR), following the completion of the Phase I, Stage II reverse circulation drilling programme at the Lander West Gold Project in Australia’s Northern Territory.

With 16 holes drilled for a total of 1,605 metres, the programme aimed to build on earlier confirmation of bedrock gold mineralisation, testing for improved grades, greater thicknesses and continuity along strike and down dip.

Tristan discusses the completed drilling, the expected assay timeline, how results from drilling and soil sampling could shape future exploration, and the company’s ambitions to expand its Australian project portfolio.

Key topics covered:

- Completion of 16 RC drill holes totalling 1,605 metres at Lander West.

- Follow-up exploration targeting extensions to Stage I gold mineralisation.

- Assay results hoped for before Christmas 2026, potentially extending into early 2027.

- Integrating drilling, geophysical and soil sampling data to prioritise future targets.

- Assessing new opportunities to strengthen FDR’s Australian exploration portfolio.
