@geoexpltd (AIM #GEO) has reported encouraging progress across its Western Australian gold exploration portfolio, with soil sampling at its flagship Gorge project returning gold grades of up to 7.74 grams per tonne, while its annual results showed an increased loss of US$3.57 million. @ValueAimTrader, Chief Executive Officer, commented: "During the year, we made significant progress across our Western Australian gold portfolio, particularly at Gorge, where encouraging exploration results have strengthened our understanding of the project's geological potential and established a growing pipeline of priority targets for further exploration. At Juno, we completed our maiden drilling programme, providing valuable geological information to guide our assessment of the broader system and future exploration activities. Our progress in Western Australia reflects the hard work and expertise of our dedicated technical team, led by Callum Baxter, alongside the continued commitment of our executive team. We remain focused on maintaining a disciplined approach to capital allocation, ensuring that our exploration expenditure is carefully targeted towards opportunities with the greatest potential to deliver long-term shareholder value. In Namibia, we are encouraged by growing industry interest in the Walvis Basin and the increasing interest in our PEL 0094 licence. We remain focused on securing a value-accretive farm-out transaction that delivers value for shareholders. Looking ahead, our priorities are to advance our Western Australian gold projects, progress our Namibian farm-out discussions and maintain disciplined capital allocation, with a clear focus on delivering long-term shareholder value." share-talk.com/geo-explorati…
