Ground gravity surveys identify three new geophysical targets at Black Hills
Greatland Gold plc (AIM:GGP), the precious and base metals exploration and development company, is pleased to announce positive final drill results with several intervals greater than 5g/t gold at its 100% owned Black Hills project in the Paterson region of Western Australia. The Company is also pleased to report it has identified three new geophysical targets following the completion of ground gravity surveys over the Black Hills licence and adjacent Havieron licence.
A Reverse Circulation ("RC") programme has been completed at Black Hills with a total of twenty RC holes for 5,846m, drilled to depths ranging from 154m to 500m. All holes were sampled from surface to end of hole as four metre composites with single metre samples analysed in areas of gold anomalism. Final analytical results have been received for all samples and are reported in this announcement.
Highlights of Drill Results
-- Results received confirm the presence of high-grade gold mineralisation at the Saddle Reefs prospect. Best results include:
o 13m @ 2.01g/t Au from 67m (SRRC012), including
-- 2m @ 7.38g/t Au from 77m
o 12m @ 1.38g/t Au from 32m (SRRC011), including
-- 1m @ 10.96g/t Au from 35m
o 36m @ 0.35g/t Au from surface (0m) (SRRC010)
o 19m @ 0.51g/t Au from 118m (SRRC007)
-- New drill results are considered very positive with several intervals greater than 5g/t gold, indicating the potential for a fertile gold system at Black Hills.
New Targets at Black Hills
-- Greatland has completed ground gravity surveys over the entire Black Hills licence and adjacent Havieron licence, which have identified three new geophysical targets in the Black Hills area:
o Parlay - Located in the south-western corner of the Black Hills licence, the Parlay target includes magnetic and gravity anomalies on an interpreted key lithological and structural contact.
o Black Hills North - Located to the north of recent drilling, Black Hills North comprises coincident gravity, magnetic and IP anomalies.
o Black Hills South - Located on Greatland's Havieron licence (E45/4701), Black Hills South is a very high amplitude gravity anomaly located at the interpreted closure of the Black Hills Dome to the south of outcrop under relatively thin cover (approximately 50m).
Gervaise Heddle, Chief Executive Officer, commented: "These exciting drill results at Black Hills confirm the presence of a near-surface gold system at the Saddle Reefs prospect which includes high-grade gold mineralisation. In addition, our systematic exploration approach continues to generate new targets across the region, including three within the Black Hills area which have not been tested by historic drilling.
"The results from our drilling and geophysical work at Black Hills further highlight the exceptional prospectivity of the Paterson region, which continues to draw in major resource players to the und
