Wia Gold Limited is celebrating a major breakthrough at its Kokoseb Gold Project in Namibia after returning its most impressive gold intercept to date—an eye-catching 50 metres grading 12 grams per tonne, with a spectacular one-metre interval at 528 grams per tonne.
The result comes from an extensive ongoing drilling program at Kokoseb aimed at expanding and upgrading its 2.12-million-ounce gold resource. The company recently completed 33 reverse circulation (RC) drill holes and 11 diamond drill holes, totalling over 11,000 metres of drilling, with the latest assays delivering strong encouragement across multiple zones.
In the project’s Southern Zone, the standout hole, KRC437, recorded the 50m at 12.00 g/t intercept starting from 188 metres downhole, confirming the presence of exceptionally high-grade shoots. Other holes in the same area also delivered broad, consistent gold mineralisation, such as 24 metres at 2.42 g/t and 23 metres at 2.36 g/t.
Meanwhile, drilling in the Central Zone continues to reveal depth and scale. Near KRC3312, shallow drilling returned an impressive 118.3 metres at 1.46 g/t gold, while deeper holes have extended a high-grade shoot a further 200 metres down plunge. One such hole, KDD064, intercepted 9.7 metres at 4.66 g/t gold, including 5.1 metres at 7.40 g/t, further demonstrating the strong continuity of mineralisation at depth.
Complementary infill drilling designed to upgrade shallow inferred resources to higher-confidence categories has also produced encouraging results. Intercepts included 28 metres at 1.57 g/t from near surface and 31 metres at 1.62 g/t straight from surface, reinforcing Kokoseb’s potential as a large, scalable deposit with both shallow and deep high-grade zones.
Importantly, all zones at Kokoseb remain open at depth, underscoring the potential for further resource growth as drilling continues. The company says these latest results will feed directly into its upcoming Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE), which is scheduled for release in July.
Wia Gold Executive Chairman Josef El-Raghy said the results highlighted Kokoseb’s potential to become a truly significant gold project for Namibia.
“The potential to grow Kokoseb significantly is demonstrated by these outstanding results, underpinned by its best gold intercept to date—50 metres at 12.00 grams per tonne,” El-Raghy noted. “The Kokoseb deposit remains open at depth and along strike, with widths of consistent high grade in the Southern, Central and Northwest Zones.”
He added that the updated MRE would mark another important step in unlocking the project’s value, helping the company chart a path toward development.
Located in a region with a rich mining history, the Kokoseb Gold Project is fast emerging as one of Namibia’s most exciting exploration stories. With these latest intercepts confirming both scale and grade, Wia Gold is positioning itself as a serious contender in the country’s growing gold sector.
As drilling continues and resource models are updated, investors and industry watchers will be keenly awaiting the July MRE to see just how much Kokoseb’s story has grown.
