Magnetic trends at Gidgee South
In January the company identified magnetic trends at Gidgee South Project, with broader mineralisation corridor defined and confirmed by historical geochemistry during a geophysical survey.
The survey highlighted a potential control on mineralisation for the historical workings, as well as laying the foundations for identifying additional targets within a broader mineralisation corridor.
Regolith evaluation drilling, including a reverse circulation drill program at Gidgee South, is set to commence later this quarter or early second quarter of 2021.
