Greatland Gold has been granted a new exploration licence at the Ernest Giles project in Pilbara, Western Australia.
E38/3775 (Mount Smith) covers more than 50km of strike length of the highly prospective Ernest Giles Yilgarn Craton Archean greenstone belt, with very limited previous exploration said the junior.
An existing land access agreement covers the new tenement and allows on-ground activities this year as part of a broader Ernest Giles project program.
Shaun Day (pictured), Greatland’s managing director, added that Mount Smith more than doubles its exploration ground in the Eastern Goldfields of Western Australia.
"Ernest Giles has been a priority project for Greatland and especially so since agreeing land access last year," he commented.
“Accordingly, we are delighted to increase the size and prospectivity of our ground there which enhances our opportunity for a discovery at Ernest Giles.
“Our intent is to commence a substantial drilling program on the Meadows prospect at Ernest Giles in the second half of this year."
