Greatland commences 2022 Paterson exploration programme

Exploration programme highlights

Scallywag

• Exploration programme has commenced at Scallywag and leverages a rich source of geological information and understanding of the area to drill several promising new conductor targets.
• Drill programme designed to test ground electromagnetic (EM) conductors for Telfer style mineralisation at Pearl, Swan and Swan East targets.
• Ultra fine fraction soil sampling geochemistry results currently being integrated into regional geological interpretation and targeting framework.
• Ongoing review of ground EM geophysics data and 2020 airborne EM survey to enhance targeting and identify further aerial anomalies for ground EM follow-up.
• Further analysis of the drilling results from 2021, 2020 and integration into ongoing basin-wide geophysical and geological modelling to drive further targeting.
• Heritage clearances completed and access and drill pad clearing underway ahead of drill programme commencing at Scallywag.

Rudall and Pascalle

• Maiden exploration drill programme planned for identified targets at recently acquired Rudall and Pascalle licences.
• Heritage approvals completed at Pascalle and Rudall with access planning underway.
• Government grant to be used to co-fund exploration at Rudall licence located 20 km southeast of the Havieron gold-copper resource.
• Licences sit in prime locations with Rudall situated 20 km south-southeast of Havieron and Pascalle situated between Havieron and the Newcrest Mining Telfer gold mine.

Shaun Day, Managing Director of Greatland Gold plc, commented: “We are excited to accelerate Greatland’s exploration programme and commence on the ground activities at our 100% owned projects in the Paterson province of Western Australia, regarded as one of the world’s most prospective frontiers for the discovery of multi-cycle, tier-one gold-copper deposits.

“The 2022 campaign at Scallywag follows encouraging exploration results reported last year, where four of seven holes intercepted gold mineralisation. The maiden drill programme at our newly acquired Pascalle and Rudall tenements is equally significant with Rudall considered to be prospective for Havieron and Telfer style gold-copper occurrences, while Pascalle sits directly between the two world class discoveries of Havieron and Telfer.

“We look forward to unlocking value by systematically progressing exploration through these Havieron and Telfer like priority targets to take advantage of our strong position in this prospective region.”
