Greatland Gold's Second Drilling Programme at Havieron Project on Schedule to Commence in mid-September

DDH1 Drilling Pty Ltd, one of Australia's most highly regarded mineral exploration drilling providers, has been re-appointed to conduct the upcoming drill programme and has agreed to accept part payment of fees in the form of shares and warrants in Greatland

Greatland Gold plc (AIM: GGP), the precious and base metals exploration and development company, is pleased to provide an update on the Company's upcoming second drill programme at its 100%-owned Havieron project in the Paterson region of Western Australia.

Greatland's first drilling campaign at Havieron, carried out in April-May 2018, yielded excellent results, which included 121m at 2.93g/t Au and 0.23% gold from 497m, and established the presence of a zone of high grade mineralisation (peak grades 137.69g/t gold and 4.11% copper).

As stated on 4 July 2018, Greatland expects to commence a second, expanded drilling campaign in mid-September at the Havieron project, consisting of ten core holes to 600 metres each for a total of 6,000 metres, to further determine the extent and the direction of the high grade zone of mineralisation at Havieron.

The Company has six main projects; four situated in Western Australia and two in Tasmania. All projects are 100% owned by Greatland.

Greatland is seeking to identify large mineral deposits in areas that have not been subject to extensive exploration previously.
