Greatland Gold plc (AIM:GGP), the precious and base metals exploration and development company, is pleased to announce results of Mobile Metal Ion ("MMI") sampling over the Scallywag gold and copper target.
The Scallywag target, located within the Company's 100%-owned Havieron licence, consists of several magnetic anomalies over a large area of approximately 6km by 4km, each with the potential to host gold, silver and/or copper mineralisation. MMI sampling over the Scallywag target was completed in late Q3 2018 and the results are reported below.
The Scallywag target was selected for the first phase of a new exploration programme in the Paterson designed to test the multiple regional targets, many with a similar geophysical signature to Havieron, that were identified by a review of regional geophysical and geochemical data conducted last year by Greatland (see announcements dated 13 August 2018 and 17 August 2017). Greatland's first drilling campaign at the Havieron target (6km east of Scallywag), returned excellent results including 121m at 2.93g/t gold and 0.23% copper from 497m (HAD001).
