Great Boulder Resources Ltd (ASX:GBR) has recommenced reverse circulation (RC) drilling at the Blue Poles discovery within its Whiteheads Gold Project in Western Australia.
The company’s 2,500-metre program is designed to test extensions to mineralisation north and south as well as adding definition through the central section of Blue Poles.
This program, which consists of 18 RC holes to cover a total strike extent of around 900 metres, is expected to take 12 to 14 days to complete.
“Looking to grow discovery”
Great Boulder’s managing director Andrew Paterson said: “We are happy to have an RC rig back at Whiteheads so quickly.
“We’re looking to grow the Blue Poles discovery with this round of drilling.
“We are still waiting on a large volume of RC assays from the previous program at Side Well, as well as the two regional AC programs at Whiteheads and Side Well.
“The majority of those assays should come through in June.
“We expect to be aggressively exploring both projects through the second half of this year and I am anticipating a lot of good news yet to come.”
RC drilling at Mulga Bill
Upon completion of the program, the rig and field team will mobilise to the Side Well Gold Project to start the next round of RC drilling at Mulga Bill.
Drilling will follow up high-grade intersections in the previous round of drilling, which included 6 metres at 31.2 g/t gold from 130 metres in MBRC0021.
