Following on from two announcements in June, Greatland Gold plc (LON: GGP), has recovered additional gold pieces from surface samples at the 100%-owned Black Hills licence in the Paterson region of Western Australia.
On June 21 , Greatland announced that several pieces of gold had been recovered from surface during the first few days of exploration.

Since then, the field team has continued to collect surface samples. Prospective rock sequences have been observed at several areas with numerous indications of mineralisation in bedrock. Further gossanous samples have been collected from outcrop and additional primary gold mineralisation has been located in bedrock at the Saddle Reefs area where gold is present as coarse pieces in rock samples from surface.
These extra finds add significantly to gold pieces already located and have extended the strike length of gold in bedrock at Saddle Reefs to approximately 200 metres.
"Greatland's first exploration campaign at Black Hills has clearly established the presence of high grade gold mineralisation at surface across a 200 metre strike length at the Saddle Reefs prospect,” said chief executive Gervaise Heddle.
“Given this exciting start, we intend to accelerate our exploration efforts at Black Hills which will initially focus on determining the potential extent of the zone of high grade gold mineralisation at Saddle Reefs. Results from rock chip sampling will be announced to the market in due course."
