Cloudbreak Discovery Plc (LSE: CDL), a London Stock Exchange Main Market listed company, is pleased to announce an update on exploration activities and future plans on the Darlot West Gold Project ("Darlot West") that covers 60.6km2, 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 2).
The exploration team has just completed a follow-up site visit (as announced on 22 September 2025) to assess the prospectivity of the many metal detector pits sighted across the project during the previous week's exploration phase and to develop plans for future follow up drilling programs. The aim of the trip was to confirm the pits were gold bearing, and the results were highly encouraging with nuggets being recovered with the team's metal detectors.
- Five nuggets recovered (Figure 1).
- Nuggets relate to underlaying geology as they are angular in shape.
Future Plans and Assay results update:
- Assay results from 653 soil and rock chip samples previously taken are expected in October.
- 60.6 sq km High Resolution magnetics to be completed shortly. This magnetic survey will highlight the sub-surface structures and will assist with detailed planning for the drill program planned for October / November
- Magnetic survey by well renowned magnetics company MAGSPEC Airborne Surveys to commence in mid to late October

Tom Evans, Cloudbreak's MD, commented: "It is highly encouraging to see these coarse gold nuggets recovered from the project by our geologists over 3 days of prospecting in the last week, and this confirms the high gold prospectivity of the historic workings visited a few weeks back. I look forward to the results from Intertek Laboratories in the coming weeks, which we are expecting to come through in batches. We plan to report on these as they come through.
We are also extremely eager to see the start of this high-resolution magnetic survey that will guide our drilling plans. The Darlot West Gold Project covers 60.6km2 and is a sizeable area, and with samples already recovered by us up to 28.62g/t Au, we will continue to follow up on high priority gold mineralisation over the project with the aim of moving the project towards drilling as soon as possible. I look forward to updating shareholders as results come to hand."
