Greatland Gold has completed drilling on its 100 per cent owned Scallywag tenement located in its Greater Paterson project.
The Scallywag project is made up of four wholly-owned granted exploration licences: Scallywag, Pascalle, Rudall and Black Hills North, located adjacent to and around the Havieron project.
Havieron is a high-grade gold-copper project centred on a deep magnetic anomaly located in Western Australia, approximately 485km southeast of Port Hedland and 45km east of Telfer. It is a joint venture between Greatland (30 per cent) and Newcrest Mining (70 per cent).
At the Scallywag tenement, ten holes were completed for 3241m drilled, targeting conductors from ground electromagnetic (EM) surveys. Five of the holes have been surveyed for nearby conductors with downhole EM. The holes are currently being processed and assays will be reported when available in a future release.
At the Havieron project, the current surface drilling campaign is complete. Greatland will align with Newcrest and transition to quarterly reporting of exploration and development activities at Havieron.
“We are pleased with the continued underground progress at the Havieron underground with development advancing to 2510 metres,” Greatland Gold managing director Shaun Day said.
Additionally, the Paterson South maiden drilling that Greatland announced in late June has now been completed.
“During the quarter, Greatland progressed an exploration drilling campaign at Scallywag and rapidly mobilised to drill targets at our new Paterson South project which is a farm-in and joint venture arrangement with Rio Tinto Exploration,” Day said.
“We await the results from these drill programmes and look forward to updating the market in due course as we continue to make good progress across our portfolio of assets.”
