Drill Rig Mobilised to Peak Hills Gold-Copper Project
Forgent plc (AIM: FORG), the technology-led energy transition company, is pleased to announce the mobilisation of the drill rig to the Company's Peak Hills gold-copper project in Western Australia.

The programme will focus on validating historic exploration results, extending known mineralisation and identifying additional mineralised zones across the broader project area.
The drilling programme of a planned approximate 42 aircore drill holes up to a depth of 100 metres, for c. 2,860 total metres, is expected to start imminently and on schedule, and to take up to 3 weeks to complete.
The Company expects initial results to be received and reported early August 2026.
