Second Drilling Rig Added to 8,000m Program in Cambodia
Unity Metals Ltd (“ Unity ” or “ the Company ”) is pleased to announce that the Company has mobilised a second rig and it has commenced drilling on its flagship Ngot Gold Project ( Ngot ) in Cambodia.
Highlights
-
Two drilling rigs now operating around the clock on a planned 50-hole (8,000 m) diamond drilling program at Ngot
-
The initial drilling is underway on the Ngot Central Prospect, where a strong and coherent gold-in-soil anomaly is associated with a 1.5 km x 1 km diorite intrusion
-
Up to 18 holes (2,800 m) are planned at Ngot Central, 1 of 5 drill-ready prospect areas at Ngot, to be drilled for the first time
-
Unity’s flagship gold project, Ngot, is just 2 km south of Emerald Resources NL’s (EMR) highly profitable 100 kozpa Okvau Mine, which is also associated with a diorite intrusion
-
Unity’s prior exploration at Ngot has been extensive and highly encouraging, with indications of high-grade, intrusion-related gold (IRGS) mineralisation at surface, with the associated gold-in-soil anomalies extending over large areas
-
The drilling program is expected to be completed within 3 months and the first drill assay results from Ngot are expected this quarter
Craig Mackay, Unity’s Founder and Managing Director, said :
“It is only 3 weeks since our successful ASX listing and we now have two drilling rigs operating both day and night testing the numerous drill targets we have identified on our flagship Ngot Project, which adjoins the southern boundary of Emerald’s Okvau Gold Mine. These targets have never been drilled by any explorer.”

Ngot Central Prospect
The Ngot Central Prospect is 1 of 5 target areas where drilling is planned. At Ngot Central a strong and coherent gold-in-soil anomaly (>10 ppb; maximum 5,390 ppb gold) is associated with a 1.5 km x 1 km diorite intrusion. There are multiple historical and active artisanal mine pits within the diorite which have exposed gold-bearing sheeted and stockwork quartz +/- arsenopyrite, pyrite, pyrrhotite veins. These veins have yielded rock chip assays up to 64.9 g/t gold.
Cambodian diamond drilling contractor, Corexplo Khmer Drill Service, is now operating two rigs at Ngot Central, where 18 holes for 2,800 m are initially planned (Figure 2). Holes are angled at 60[0] and depths average around 150 m.

The planned drill holes at Ngot Central are designed to test the strongest portions of the gold-in-soil anomaly, high-grade gold bearing veins exposed in artisanal workings, and a number of strong Induced Polarisation chargeability anomalies that lie beneath.
Immediately following Unity’s geological processing and logging, the drill core will be sampled continuously from top to bottom and half core samples despatched by Unity staff to the ALS Laboratory in Phnom Penh in Cambodia. ALS will conduct their sample preparation in Phnom Penh and then send the samples to Vientiane in Laos for gold assay. The first assay results are expected Q1/2026.
Unity plans to complete the proposed 8,000 m program over the 5 prospect areas within 3 months.

About Unity Metals Ltd
Unity Metals Limited, an ASX-listed company, is a SE Asia focused gold and copper explorer. It has established a large (~700km[2] ) and highly prospective portfolio of gold and copper-gold Projects in Cambodia and Thailand. These Projects are prospective for intrusion-related gold and porphyry copper gold deposits. Its assets in Cambodia are located in close proximity to 2 operating gold mines, including the Okvau Mine, the largest gold mine in Cambodia. Okvau is a 1.3Moz deposit and shares a licence boundary with Unity’s Ngot Gold Project. Unity’s assets in Thailand are more copper focused and consist of licence applications in the Loei Fold Belt, one of the major copper-gold belts in mainland South East Asia.
