Announcement
Maiden Bush Chook drilling to start in November (Click here to view the announcement)
Moho Resources Ltd (ASX: MOH) is preparing to commence maiden drilling at the Bush Chook Gold Project in the Pilbara region of Western Australia (Figure 1), following receipt of government approval for its Programme of Works (PoW).
The drilling program is a critical step in the Company’s strategy to advance its Swan Prospect. This large and high-grade gold anomaly could emerge as the cornerstone of Moho’s Pilbara growth portfolio.
The Business of Moho Resources Ltd: Looking for Gold in the Pilbara Region.
Moho Resources Ltd is an Australian natural resources company advancing early-stage gold and base metal projects across Western Australia.
The Company holds 100% ownership of its assets (Figure 1), including
o Bush Chook Project in the Pilbara Craton
o Silver Swan North Project in the Yilgarn Craton
Led by Chairman Peter Christie, Moho has assembled a board and technical team with strong commercial, geological, and capital markets experience.
The Company’s strategy focuses on converting its extensive portfolio of historical anomalies into drill-ready, high-value gold targets.

Highlights – Maiden Drilling to Begin at the Swan Prospect
A 1,000m–1,600m reverse circulation (RC) drilling program is scheduled to commence in mid-November 2025, targeting the Swan Prospect, a 1.4km-long by 250m-wide gold-in-soil anomaly grading up to 330ppb Au (Figure 2).

The Swan Prospect lies approximately 10km west of AIM Mining’s Blue Spec Gold-Antimony Deposit, which contains 242koz Au @ 24.3g/t Au and 1.6% Sb.
The anomaly was discovered through a recent infill soil sampling program over historic +32ppb gold anomalies — none of which have previously been drilled. Project-wide target distribution is shown in Figure 3 below.

The drilling campaign follows the acquisition of Bush Chook in August 2025, where due diligence sampling returned assays up to 28.6g/t Au.
The Project benefits from prospecting licences with no native title conditions, allowing rapid mobilisation and lower exploration costs.
Leadership Commentary
Moho Resources Chairman, Mr Peter Christie, commented:
“Our goal from day one has been to deliver the Pilbara’s next gold discovery. We are fully committed to establishing Bush Chook as a cornerstone project to launch the company’s new phase of growth. Bush Chook is a large land position acquired at low cost, adjacent to existing mining infrastructure and development projects, with extensive and exceptional historical soil and rock chip results in a Tier 1 mining jurisdiction.
This maiden drilling program follows a comprehensive and relentless drill target generation campaign by our new exploration team. Our in-ground exploration will accelerate in 2026 as we drill test new targets generated from over one hundred historic gold anomalies across Bush Chook.”
About the Bush Chook Project (WA)
Located within the Mosquito Creek Basin, the project sits in a proven gold-producing terrain that has delivered more than 2.5Moz of gold in historical and current resources.
The region is home to significant operations, including AIM Mining’s Nullagine Gold Project, which produced 543koz of gold @ 1.6g/t Au and supports a 1.8Mtpa processing facility.
The Swan Prospect lies in the hinge of an antiform structure, coincident with quartz reefs parallel and oblique to the fold axis — a classic structural environment for gold mineralisation.
Bush Chook comprises 386km² of tenure, with over 100 historical soil (32ppb–7910ppb Au) and rock chip (up to 28.6g/t Au) anomalies awaiting follow-up.
Near-Term Milestones to Watch
November 2025: Commencement of 1,000–1,600m RC drilling at Swan Prospect.
Q1 2026: Expansion of fieldwork to convert >100 historic gold anomalies into drill-ready targets.
2026: Systematic RC drilling across four key zones — A through D — targeting extensions of high-grade trends and soil anomalies.
Ongoing: Field mapping, geophysical interpretation, and heritage clearance for new licences to support accelerated exploration.
The Samso Investment Memo for Moho Resources Ltd
The Bush Chook Project offers genuine first-pass discovery potential in a district already proven for high-grade gold deposits.
Moho’s strategic proximity to AIM’s Blue Spec and Nullagine infrastructure presents future development optionality with low capital intensity.
The Company’s strong funding position, streamlined land access, and geological model create a clear pathway toward rapid exploration success.
If drilling at Swan delivers significant intercepts, it could immediately elevate Moho’s standing within the Pilbara gold exploration space.
Samso Concluding Comments
The Pilbara has been rewarding the deep-pocket and bold explorers for decades, and a good concept like the Bush Chook project may fit the explorer's criteria of a good punt. Moho has a decent chance as they are drilling a 1.4 km by 250 m gold-in-soil anomaly with credible grades, in a structural setting that makes geological sense. First-pass RC into an undrilled trend is good from a retail investor's point of view.
The project is close to established deposits and processing infrastructure, which gives the feeling of being in a tight location, but as we all know, this doesn’t guarantee success. It does give a sense of being more advanced than a scouting mission, which does matter in a market that increasingly favours projects with plausible development routes.
Execution risk is lower than in most early-stage stories. Good to see that approvals are in hand, licences are straightforward, and the program is modest but targeted. The quick move from acquisition to drilling is a credit to a team intent on testing ideas rather than marketing them. This is a very important point to consider in a market that is awash with "rock-chip" flavours.
If assays validate the soil footprint and structural model, Bush Chook will move from potential to probability. If not, Moho still holds a pipeline of untested anomalies across the same system—fuel for the next target in 2026.
This is a very early-stage prospect, and investors will need to understand that the road to any sign of a discovery is still a distance away. DYOR is the key, and patience is always a virtue in this form of investment. I don't know much about the management, so there is still that risk for me to take any positions.
