Greatland Gold has commenced ground gravity surveys at its Paterson project.
Highlights:
- Ground gravity surveys have commenced at the Havieron target with initial station spacing of 200m x 200m, and at the Scallywag target with a station spacing of 400m x 200m;
- Objective of the tightly-spaced ground gravity survey at Havieron is to provide data that can be modelled with modern 3D inversion techniques to better define drill targets;
- Results from the ground gravity surveys and the previously completed Mobile Metal Ion (“MMI”) sampling campaign are expected by the end of this month.
The Paterson project covers more than 385 square kilometres in the Paterson region of Western Australia and includes the Havieron licence, the Paterson Range East licence, and the recently acquired Black Hills licence. Limited historical drilling was conducted by Newcrest at Havieron during the 1990s where six holes were drilled, all of which intersected significant hematite alteration and gold plus copper anomalism. Thick lower grade zones of gold and copper have been intersected and gold grades within these peak at 15.4g/t and copper to 2.5%. The Scallywag target hosts several magnetic anomalies over an area of approximately 6km by 4km with potential to host gold and/or copper mineralisation.
Gervaise Heddle, Chief Executive Officer said “The ground gravity survey at Havieron represents an important step towards defining drill targets for a drilling campaign currently scheduled for early 2018.
“We believe that the Paterson region, host to Newcrest’s Telfer gold mine, is highly prospective for multiple large mineralised systems, as demonstrated by our further commitment to the region with the acquisition of the Black Hills gold project announced yesterday.”
