Gold Grades Exceed Expectations at Darlot West
Cloudbreak Discovery Plc (CDL) announced highly encouraging gold assay results from its Darlot West Gold Project in Western Australia. Surface rock chip sampling yielded significant results, with gold grades up to 28.62 g/t (and 34.15 g/t on a repeat assay) across four prospect areas. Other notable results included 4.50 g/t, 2.62 g/t, and 1.30 g/t gold. Darlot West is situated 10km southwest of the Darlot Gold Mine, which has produced 2.8 million ounces of gold. The company plans further exploration to assess the mineralisation potential and will exercise its option to acquire 100% of the project. A selection of sample results is shown below: | Sample | Au ppm | Au rp1 ppm | |---|---|---| | DW2501 | 1.289 | 1.473 | | DW2502 | 1.296 | 1.317 | | DW2503 | 0.026 | | | DW2510 | 4.497 | | | DW2518 | 28.618 | 34.147 | Disclaimer*
About this update from Cloudbreak Discovery Plc
[{"type":"text","content":"\n\n21 August 2025\nCloudbreak Discovery Plc\n('Cloudbreak', or 'the Company')\n \nGold Grades Exceed Expectations at Darlot West\n \nGold grades up to 28 grams per tonne at surface\n \nCloudbreak Discovery Plc (LSE: CDL), is pleased to announce the very encouraging results returned from its first gold sampling programme at the Darlot West Gold Project (\"Darlot West\" or the \"Project\").\n \nThe rock chip sampling at surface carried out in the maiden exploration programme on site has returned multiple significant results with grading up to 28.62g/t gold across four discrete prospect areas within the Project.\n \no 28.62g/t Au (34.15g/t Au on repeat assay) see FIGURE 1\no 4.50g/t Au see FIGURE 4\no 2.62g/t Au\no 1.30g/t AU\n \nDarlot West is located only 10km southwest of the iconic Darlot Gold Mine in Western Australia with production of 2.8 million ounces of gold produced to date (see FIGURE 3). These surface results are particularly encouraging and warrant a follow up exploration programme which is being devised to further understand the extent of mineralisation potential.\n \nFurther updates will be provided once this further programme has been confirmed.\n \nTom Evans, Cloudbreak's MD, commented; \"These gold results from our initial field trip and the investigation, carried out as part of the Company's due diligence on the tenement, are exceptionally good. Getting results approaching an ounce of gold per tonne are not common and are much better than we had expected.\"\n \n\"An exploration programme is being planned to further understand the extent of gold mineralisation and the areas gold ounce potential. We look forward to providing further updates with respect to additional exploration to be completed.\"\n\"On the basis of this initial programme, we will be proceeding to exercise our option to acquire 100% of this exciting play in one of the world's Tier-1 exploration and mining jurisdictions. The Darlot area is highly prospective for gold, and we are keen to move forward with the transaction and expand our footprint in the immediate area and are well advanced on sourcing additional gold tenements to add to our portfolio here.\"\n \n \n\nFigure 1: 28.62g/t Au Rock Chip (Sample DW2518)\n \n\nFigure 2: Rock Chip Sampling Results...
