Aruma Resources (ASX: AAJ) has negotiated Native Title access to its flagship Glandore gold project, 40 kilometres east of Kalgoorlie in the West Australian goldfields.
This will allow the company to commence exploration drilling.
The resolution comes after the Goldfields Land and Sea Council and the Central East Native Title Group gave Aruma provisional approval to conduct a 3000 metre aircore drilling program.
During the time Aruma has been unable to access Glandore, it completed a substantial amount of preliminary geological studies that should ensure a fast start when the drilling program does begin.
Historical drill chips scanned last week by Aruma confirmed that the mineralisation intersected previously at the Project is typical Golden Mile lode style with good grade and continuity.
This mineralisation could now be drilled on the structures identified in the eastern leases at Glandore.
It is anticipated that drilling will begin as soon as floodwaters from the downpour that hit the Goldfields region in January recede.
The previously disputed leases P25/2215 and P25/2216 will also have standard Heritage Agreements signed, opening the way for granting and exploration
Aruma is capitalised at a modest $3 million and also controls the Jundee South project, 60 kilometres east of Wiluna and about 25 kilometres south of Newmont Mining’s (NYSE: NEM) Jundee Gold Mine.
