Greatland Gold plc has announced that the Western Australia Government Exploration Incentive Scheme (EIS) co-funded drilling programme has been successfully completed and all assays returned at the Meadows gold prospect within the company’s 100% owned Ernest Giles project.
Highlights:
- Two diamond core (DD) holes completed for 1 267.7 m.
- Anomalous mineralisation of 8 m @ 0.12g/t Au from 316 m returned from EGD006, associated with alteration and anomalous pathfinder geochemistry.
- Drilling results provide important geological and structural information to inform a systematic reverse circulation drill programme planned for this year to systematically test highly prospective targets at Meadows prospect.
- Ground induced polarisation (IP) survey planned for later in 2024 to further refine targets, along with further airborne geophysics.
Greatland Managing Director, Shaun Day, commented:
“Completing the Land Access Agreement and EIS co-funded drilling at Ernest Giles is a significant milestone for the project, marking the first on-ground exploration in over five years.”
“Ernest Giles is an exciting 100% owned project that sits outside our strong foothold in the Paterson region, in an underexplored Archean greenstone belt that hosts many Tier 1 deposits.”
“These initial results are encouraging and confirm the prospectivity of the project. The results will inform further exploration work, including a more extensive drilling programme this year.”

Decarbonising mining is challenging. While electric and hydrogen solutions show promise, they are still in development and not yet reliable for heavy equipment in demanding environments due to tough conditions and varying infrastructure across regions.
