DGO Gold Ltd (ASX:DGO) has been actively exploring for gold in the Pilbara region of Western Australia, which in recent months has experienced a new gold rush following a discovery by joint venture partners Artemis Resources Ltd (ASX:ARV) and Novo Resources.
DGO's recent field activities have been focused at the Mallina tenements, 75 kilometres south east of Karratha.
Mallina is located south-west of Loudens Patch where De Grey Mining Ltd (ASX:DEG) recently discovered gold nuggets.
DGO has discovered at least four kilometres of strike length of the basal contact position of the Mount Roe basalt with some conglomerate outcrop in the western part of the exploration license.
In the first couple of days of field activities, two gold nuggets were found by metal detecting at Scottie Well, weighing 12 grams and 1 gram respectively.
The company’s Pilbara land holdings total 2,899 square kilometres subject to the applications being granted.
