Drilling underway at the Lauriston Gold Project

Adelong Gold is hunting for the next Fosterville in Victoria’s Bendigo Zone with the Lauriston Project.

Historical assays demonstrate high-grade potential in the same geological setting, with both projects hosted in Ordovician turbidites of the Castlemaine Group.

Lauriston is immediately adjacent to, and along strike from Fosterville, tapping the same regional trends that focus mineralisation.

Both projects show elements of a epizonal gold-antimony (Au–Sb) style typical of the district, with Au associated with Sb/As pathfinders and stibnite at high grades.

Antimony is an effective vector; at Fosterville the highest grades correlate with visible gold and stibnite. Geochem at Lauriston outlines a >4.5 km Au-Sb trend (Comet to Trojan), pointing to the same pathfinder footprint.

Fosterville and Lauriston are interpreted to be influenced by fluids from the Selwyn Block beneath the Bendigo Zone, consistent with the cluster of Au–Sb deposits in this corridor (Fosterville, Costerfield, Sunday Creek).

Fosterville is renowned for high-grade shoots like Swan; Lauriston’s historical intercepts (8 m @ 104 g/t Au at Comet) show the district can deliver similar grade profiles where geological structures align.
