The firm is awaiting assay results for the holes drilled at Scallywag and Patterson South. The company also revealed that it had made significant progress in developing its Havieron project, reaching 2,510 metres of underground development as of 20 July 2023. 

Greatland Gold noted that the decline had progressed successfully past the middle aquifer, a significant de-risking event for the decline development. The decline development included support excavations for ventilation, services and materials handling. The company noted that dewatering rates past the middle aquifer at Havieron were in line with expectations. 

Greatland told investors it had completed the drilling at its 100%-owned Scallywag project after drilling 10 holes for 3,241 metres—most of the drilling targeted conductors from ground electromagnetic (EM) surveys. 

Greatland also revealed that it had completed its maiden drilling campaign at the Paterson South Project, which commenced on 26 June 2023. The project is a farm-in and joint venture arrangement with Rio Tinto Exploration (RTX).

Greatland’s Managing Director, Shaun Day, commented: “We are pleased with the continued underground progress at the Havieron underground, with development advancing to 2,510 metres. During the quarter, Greatland progressed an exploration drilling campaign at Scallywag and rapidly mobilised to drill targets at our new Paterson South Project which is a farm-in and joint venture arrangement with Rio Tinto Exploration.  We await the results from these drill programmes and look forward to updating the market in due course as we continue to make good progress across our portfolio of assets.”
