Overview of
The Havieron and Paterson Range East licences are located in the Paterson region of northern
The region is remote, however infrastructure is good with several operating mines, roads, formed tracks and rail networks nearby which branch out from the regional industrial hub of Port Hedland 500km to the west.
Alteration and mineralisation of those targets which have been drill tested at Havieron and Paterson Range East display similarities to IOCG-type deposits. Examples of these are the large
Geophysical data has outlined the Havieron target as covering approximately 1,000m x 1,000m. Depth to top of target is around 400m with these depths easily achieved with modern drilling equipment. Only six drill holes have been completed to date with all intersecting significant alteration and gold plus copper anomalism.
Thick lower grade zones of gold and copper have been intersected and within these gold grades peak at 15.4g/t and copper to 2.5%. Current drill hole spacing is broad and so the core of Havieron represents an immediate resource definition drilling target.
Within the Paterson Range East licence several IOCG targets have been identified. Historically, several of these targets have been subject to initial first-pass work and show promise at hosting mineralisation as seen at Havieron. Basement rocks do not outcrop and Greatland intends to employ modern geophysical methods to define targets prior to drill testing.
Prospectivity of the
Greatland's Havieron licence covers 137 square kilometres and Paterson Range East covers 224 square kilometres, totaling over 360 square kilometres in the Paterson region

Notes for Editors:
The Company has six main projects; four situated in
Greatland is seeking to identify large mineral deposits in areas that have not been subject to extensive exploration previously. It is widely recognised that the next generation of large deposits will come from such under-explored areas and Greatland is applying advanced exploration techniques to investigate a number of carefully selected targets within its focused licence portfolio.
The Company is also actively investigating a range of new opportunities in precious and strategic metals and will update the market on new opportunities as and when appropriate.
