Federation Exploration Success
On 23 April 2026, we were pleased to share significant results from our recent exploration program at the Federation Mine, in the Western region of NSW as well as providing an update on regional exploration activities in the Nymagee District.
This program successfully:
- extended the high-grade Federation West mineralisation down-dip by ~70m
- discovered the Harley Lens, a new polymetallic lens further northwest, and
- intersected high-grade mineralisation within 1.8m of current mine workings.
Commenting on the results, Aurelia’s Chief Development and Technical Officer, Andrew Graham said:
“It is a milestone to have conducted the first exploration drilling from our underground workings at Federation. This materially improves the efficiency and effectiveness of exploration and has been immediately successful.
“Federation West continues to grow, with the high-grade hit in FDR0354 a meaningful ~70m step down-dip of previously known mineralisation. The discovery of the high-grade Harley Lens, further west, demonstrates that our understanding of Federation continues to evolve.
“The Federation West exploration program also intersected high-grade mineralisation adjacent to underground workings and outside the current mine plan, in FDR0395. This high value material has been passed directly to the mining team and highlights the potential for additional ore production at Federation. It also reaffirms the strong likelihood of continued discovery as we progress the mine and better understand the orebodies.”
