Primorus Investments PLC
("Primorus" or the "Company")
Further Investment in Greatland Gold PLC
Primorus Investments plc (AIM: PRIM, NEX: PRIM) is pleased to advise
shareholders that, as per its investment mandate, it has acquired a further 2m
shares in AIM-listed metals exploration company Greatland Gold PLC
("Greatland"; (GGP.L). The Company now holds 37m shares in Greatland,
representing approximately 1.15% of its issued share capital in Greatland,
purchased at weighted average price of 1.71p per share, which remains
unchanged from the previous investment as announced on 10 January 2019.
The most recently announced drilling by Greatland at Haiveron (5 February
2019) yielded excellent results, including 367.1m at 1.15g/t gold, 0.44%
copper and 176ppm cobalt from 471m, including: 150.5m at 2.25g/t gold, 0.67%
copper and 224ppm cobalt from 471.5m in HAD006. HAD008 yielded 89m at
1.97g/t gold, 0.8% copper and 362ppm cobalt from 426m.
Previously announced drilling by Greatland at Havieron (19 November 2018)
reported several excellent Gold/Copper intercepts including the outstanding
combined drilling intercept of 275m at 4.77g/t gold and 0.61% copper,
including an upper zone of 118m at 3.08g/t gold and 0.84% copper from 459m and
a lower zone of 157m at 6.04g/t gold and 0.44% copper from 660m (HAD005) at
its 100%-owned Havieron Gold/Copper project in the Paterson Province region of
Western Australia.
Alastair Clayton, Executive Director commented "Recently Rio Tinto unveiled
the high-anticipated results from its recently discovered Winu Project, also
located in the Paterson Province. These were impressive and indicated broad
widths of sustained gold/copper mineralisation that occurs closer to the
surface than at Haiveron. Pleasingly, and despite being deeper than at Winu,
several drill holes at Haiveron contain large widths of very high-tenor gold
and copper mineralisation. We believe the discovery of such high-tenor
mineralisation is thus far unique to Haiveron in terms of Paterson Province
gold and copper discoveries."
Greatland has indicated its next drilling campaign is due to commence at
Haiveron this month and it appears a number of other explorers are also
planning drill campaigns adjacent to Haiveron and elsewhere in the Paterson
Province so we expect the next few months to be the beginning of a modern-day
exploration rush in this largely underexplored part of Western Australia."
"Given the above and taking advantage of recent unexpected weakness in the GGP
share price we have added to our position without moving our weighted average
investment price and we look forward to a prolonged period of exploration news
and results now that the short summer rainy season has passed."
