Update on Exploration Campaign at Panorama Project

Dissemination of a Regulatory Announcement that contains inside information according to REGULATION (EU) No 596/2014 (MAR).

("Greatland" or "the Company")

 

Update on Exploration Campaign at Panorama Project

 

Field reconnaissance at Panorama locates numerous gold nuggets in multiple locations and confirms the presence of mineralisation over several kilometres of strike

 

Greatland Gold plc (AIM:GGP), the precious and base metals exploration and development company, is pleased to announce that field reconnaissance activities have located numerous gold nuggets, confirming the presence of mineralisation over several kilometres of strike at the Company's 100% owned Panorama project, located in the Pilbara region of Western Australia. The zone of gold mineralisation has been extended from 3.2km of strike to 4.3km.

 

Highlights:

 

· Numerous gold nuggets found in thin soil cover over several hundred metres of strike, confirming the presence of gold mineralisation along the mineralised zone.

· Gold nuggets found in more than 10 locations, including an area further south along strike, thereby extending the strike extent of the mineralised trend from 3.2km to 4.3km.

· The mineralised zone, hosted in Archean basement, currently remains open to the south west and will be subject to further reconnaissance activities and systematic, grid-based surface geochemical sampling, which is expected to be completed by late July.

· Additionally, a detailed, low level aeromagnetic survey covering the entire Panorama project area is expected to commence next week.

 

Gervaise Heddle, Chief Executive Officer, commented: "The discovery of numerous gold nuggets in multiple locations within the first week of the new field campaign at Panorama represents a very exciting start to this campaign and further confirms our belief in the significant potential of this project.

 

"The dual geochemical and geophysical campaign that we are conducting at Panorama represents a step up in the scale of exploration previously conducted at this project and clearly these early results support our decision to accelerate the pace of exploration activity at this exciting gold target in the Pilbara. We look forward to providing further updates as the exploration campaign progresses, including results from soil and rock chip sampling and the aeromagnetic survey."

 

A photo of the gold nuggets collected and a map indicating collection points can be found on the Panorama project page of Greatland's website at: www.greatlandgold.com/panorama/

 

 

Panorama Project

 

The Panorama project consists of three adjoining granted exploration licences located in the Pilbara region of northern Western Australia. The three licences cover a total area of approximately 155 square kilometres and are prospective for gold and base metal mineralisation.

 

Geology of the area is predominantly greenstone and granite of the Archean Pilbara Craton in northern Western Australia, and younger overlying sedimentary and volcanic sequences. As such the project is prospective for Archean lode style gold mineralisation and also 'conglomerate' style gold mineralisation.

 

The Company completed a detailed review of historic work at Panorama, which revealed many rock chip samples with an elevated gold response from within the project area. Rock chip samples were collected during the mid to late 1990s, mainly over the northern parts of the project area. The most significant samples identified to date lie along a north-south trending zone approximately 3.2km long with rock chip results including 66.0g/t, 14.5g/t, 4.1g/t, 2.1g/t and 1.1g/t gold. The geological setting is a prominent ridge marking the structural contact of basaltic and ultramafic rocks of Archean age.

 

Greatland carried out sporadic rock chip sampling along this zone during 2017 with results including 18.45g/t, 1.82g/t, 0.71g/t, and 0.61g/t gold over approximately 3.2km of strike, essentially confirming the presence of gold mineralisation and the high grade potential of this zone. Rock chip results are presented in Table 1.

Late last month, Greatland commenced field activities at the Panorama project with reconnaissance activities and surface geochemical work primarily focussed on Archean lode style gold mineralisation. To date, numerous gold nuggets have been found in thin soil cover over several hundred metres of strike confirming the presence of gold mineralisation along the mineralised zone. Gold nuggets have been found further south along strike than previously identified, extending the strike extent of the mineralised trend from 3.2km to 4.3km. The zone remains open to the south west. All nugget locations are presented in Table 2.

Ongoing work will include further reconnaissance along the mineralised trend and systematic grid based soil sampling on 100m x 50m grid. Rock chip samples will also be collected at suitable locations. This work is expected to be complete in late July.

 

High quality geophysical datasets are a critical component of early stage exploration programmes. Of particular importance are high resolution aeromagnetic surveys as they are cost-effective and enable rapid target definition over large tenement packages. As previously announced, Greatland has commissioned a detailed, low level airborne magnetic survey to cover the entire area. The survey comprises approximately 8,000 line kilometres at a line spacing of 50m with an estimated mean terrain clearance of 40m. The airborne survey is expected to commence next week.

 

Further information on the Panorama project can be found on the Company web site at www.greatlandgold.com/projects

Notes for Editors:

 

Greatland Gold plc is London listed (LON:GGP) natural resource exploration and development company with a current focus on gold, copper and nickel exploration projects.

 

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

 

In March 2019, Greatland signed a Farm-in Agreement with Newcrest Operations Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Newcrest Mining Limited (ASX:NCM), to explore and develop Greatland's Havieron gold-copper project in the Paterson region of Western Australia. Newcrest has the right to acquire up to a 70% interest in a 12 block area within E45/4701 that covers the Havieron target by spending up to US$65m.

 

Greatland is seeking to identify large mineral deposits in areas that have not been subject to extensive exploration previously. It is widely recognised that the next generation of large deposits will come from such under-explored areas and Greatland is applying advanced exploration techniques to investigate a number of carefully selected targets within its focused licence portfolio.

 

The Company is also actively investigating a range of new opportunities in precious and strategic metals and will update the market on new opportunities as and when appropriate.
