Greatland Gold
In the lower tiers the star of the sector is Greatland gold. The company has gained a lot of
positive attention over the last year and with just cause to do so. The Company was established
in London in 2005 and was admitted to trading on the AIM market in July 2006. The company
has a well-diversified portfolio of projects in highly prospective geological areas with pre known
reserves and deposits of gold and nickel. The Company is actively developing projects in underexplored parts of these known mineralised systems.
The business’ current activities include, mapping, soil sampling, geophysical surveys and drilling
on target areas. They are constantly reviewing historic data and combine this with regional
geophysics and combine this with analysis of incoming geochemical and geotechnical data,
allowing projects to develop and progress towards realising resources and reserves.
Greatland itself has got a large footprint in the Havieron region and it’s got a track record of
success. The company has identified several high priority targets close by as well. Greatland is
in a strong financial position with approximately £6mln in cash as at June 30, 2020, and remains
well-financed to conduct all planned activities over the next 12 months.
Sentiment surrounding progress at its jointly held Havieron licence remains high and the recent
granting of a license has seen Greatland’s landholding in the Paterson region expand from 385
square kilometres to 450 square kilometres.
