Brokers suggesting Pepas West as new standalone deposit15 May 2026 04:36
Suppose that’s what the bears (I used to be one) need to catch up with. This geology is now looking like OMI has a broader multi-deposit gold project, the Pepas system is much larger than initially defined. The results in the West are substantial and not what I expected to be honest.
What is very material also is the 100m strike which refers to the horizontal length of the mineralised zone along the surface - basically, how far the gold-bearing rock extends in one direction when you look at it from above. So when Brad says Pepas West has at least 100m of strike, they mean they’ve confirmed the zone runs at least 100 metres in a northwest direction.
The PEP090 hole stepped out 30m of the previous holes and still hit mineralisation, which is how they extended the known strike length. Each time you drill further along and still find gold, you’re proving the zone keeps going. The crucial word here is “open” - the 100m of strike is still open, meaning they haven’t drilled to the end of it yet. It could be 150m, 200m, or more - they simply don’t know yet.
Compared to what was known before this is very material news. I thought this would open up at 25p on the day so market has been lucky to get them down here imo
