Great Southern Launches 15,000m Drill Campaign at WA Gold Discovery
Synopsis
The company has begun an extensive drilling program at its Golden Boulder prospect, aiming to expand a promising 3.5-kilometre gold corridor within its Duketon Gold Project.
Key Highlights
- Great Southern Mining kicks off a 15,000m RC drill campaign at the Golden Boulder discovery.
- The company is focused on exploration along a 3.5km gold corridor at its Duketon Gold Project in Western Australia.
- The base program is fully capitalised after the company raised $4.6 million (before costs) via an ASX placement of Equity units.
Great Southern Mining is launching a 15,000-metre RC drilling campaign at the Golden Boulder discovery within the nucleus of the Duketon Gold Project, Western Australia
At Golden Boulder, 15 km southwest of Regis Resources’ (ASX: RRL) Garden Well processing plant on the Rosemont-Ben Hur structural corridor the drilling program is designed to define the full extent of a high-grade 3.5-kilometre gold corridor.
The company said that the project sits in a proven gold district with over 50 historical workings, emphasising that previous mining only targeted shallow quartz veins.
Multi-Targeting Gold with Phase 5 Drilling
Earlier drilling on three parallel trends, the Main Line, Eastern Line and Ogilvies, has already confirmed gold mineralisation through historical workings and the new drilling campaign will now test underneath.
The 3.5km strike length of higher grade grades defined by the Main Line is still open at depth, along strike as well as to possible parallel lodes.
Previous drill results from 2025 returned several high-grade insomecluding 5 metrmanygrams per tonne (g/t) gold within it, including 1 metre at 70.9g/t, and then again for example for 6 metres at 6.7g/t gold including an intersection of higher grade down to as much as a gram or better; including one equal measure obviously in history.
The recent diamond drilling has helped unlock a better understanding of the geological structures hosting the gold mineralisation in addition to bolstering the potential for substantial depth extensions was managing director Matthew Keane.
Next features by Amy Clarke and Mon Ami
The drilling program is anticipated to continue for as long as 12 weeks, after which the drill rig will shift 4km northwest to the Amy Clarke prospect.
Results so far from drilling at Amy Clarke have mapped out 4.7 kilometres of mineralisation including results such as 8 metres at 6.7g/t gold and 2 metres at 23.9g/t gold.
At the company's Mon Ami Gold Project, 12 kilometres south of Laverton, a 16-hole, 3,100-metre RC drilling program has also been completed. Results of the assay are due in the next 3 to 4 weeks.
Mon Ami has an existing gold resource of 55,500 ounces on a granted mining lease and close to existing processing infrastructure. The news means Great Southern has multiple drilling campaigns in a strong pipeline of continuing exploration activities across its Western Australian gold projects at Golden Boulder and Mon Ami, as well as the planned development of Amy Clarke
