News Articles for Greatland Resources

Aspiring gold producer Greatland Gold has recruited three of the state's most prominent company directors while also attracting Andrew Forrest's Wyloo Metals as its top shareholder.

Goldminer Newcrest Mining has put a price on developing its Havieron project in Western Australia, while detailing plans for its assets in Canada and Papua New Guinea.

St George Mining has opened up exploration on a second front and is now hunting giant copper deposits in one of WA's most enigmatic mineral terranes – the Paterson province, home to a number of elephant sized mineral deposits. The company's maiden drill program over its extensive tenure in the region has jagged copper sulphides in several drill holes triggering a move to deeper diamond drilling.

Favourable market conditions have led to a suite of new gold producers and projects.

St George Mining is off to a flying start in its copper-gold search in the “world-class” Paterson region of Western Australia with multiple holes from its maiden drilling campaign at its Paterson prospect hitting prospective basement rocks. Initial XRF analysis has returned elevated levels of pathfinder elements suggesting potential for base metal and gold mineralisation across 35km of target stratigraphy at the company's tenure.

WA-focused explorer St George Mining has launched into a 10,000m drilling blitz targeting new copper and gold discoveries along 35km of prospective stratigraphy at the Paterson project in the state's north. The maiden reverse circulation program is aimed at emulating recent discoveries in the region that include Rio Tinto's Winu project hosting some 503Mt in resources going 0.45 per cent copper-equivalent.

Newcrest Mining has reported a six per cent jump in gold output from its Telfer operations in the Pilbara, despite heavy rainfall during the March quarter.

White Cliff Minerals has unearthed some encouraging copper results from an extensive soil sampling program at its early-stage Midas copper-gold project in WA's revered Paterson Province. The company says its maiden reconnaissance program comprising just over 500 samples identified a 3km long copper-bearing structural corridor containing around three dozen copper hits of above 830 parts per billion under transported cover.

Newcrest Mining has approved a $146 million early construction cost for its Havieron gold-copper project in WA, which the company will develop alongside UK's Greatland Gold.

ASX-listed White Cliff Minerals has entered into an agreement to sell its non-core Merolia gold project near Laverton in WA to London-listed explorer, Panther Metals, for about $274,000 in cash and shares. Divestment of Merolia will allow the Perth-based company to focus on its historic Reedy South project 40km north of Cue and its Midas copper-gold project in the Paterson Province, both in WA.

ASX-listed gold and base metals explorer, White Cliff Minerals, has completed an extensive geochemical soil sampling program at its Midas copper-gold project in the coveted Paterson Province of WA. Just over 500 samples were gathered across five of seven priority target areas previously identified by the Perth-based junior, with pending assay results expected to help form the basis of a maiden drilling program at the project.

Newcrest Mining has reported solid financial results for the full year, including an $86 million rise in profit, despite a drop in gold production.

Artemis Resources is selling its interests in the Mt Clement gold project to joint venture partner Northern Star Resources in a bid to divest its non-core assets.

Antipa Minerals has announced it completed a $5.1 million capital raising, with the funds set to further its exploration in the Paterson province of the Pilbara.

Artemis Resources has defined three new gravity targets at its greenfields Armada prospect in the Paterson Range copper-gold province in the eastern Pilbara. The company now has 11 potential targets to act as a drawcard as it searches for a potential joint venture partner to undertake further exploration near Greatland Gold's spectacular Havieron copper-gold discovery.

Artemis Resources has completed a ground geophysical gravity survey program over priority exploration targets it defined in January over the Armada project in the emerging Paterson Range copper-gold province of WA. The company will now integrate the processed gravity data with the recently collected magnetic data to identify and prioritise potential drilling targets at the intriguing project.

Metalicity has more than doubled its targeted areas in the emerging Paterson copper-nickel-gold province in WA with its application for seven new exploration licences in three project areas that cover a total area of 3000km2. Exploration by WMC from 1966 to 1971 at the priority Warburton target, identified about 200 copper mineral occurrences and geochemically anomalous soils over significant strike lengths.

Artemis Resources has been granted the key Armada prospect tenement in the emerging Paterson Range copper-gold province in the eastern Pilbara region of WA that surrounds Greatland Gold's spectacular new Havieron discovery on three sides. The company recently outlined multiple exploration targets on the tenement from a geophysical interpretation of a high-resolution, aeromagnetic survey.

Artemis Resources has discovered multiple exploration targets from a geophysical interpretation of its high-resolution, aeromagnetic survey over its Armada prospect in the emerging Paterson Ranges in the eastern Pilbara of WA. Two new priority targets lie in a 6km long corridor, directly along strike and north of Greatland Gold's spectacular new Havieron copper-gold discovery. Gravity surveys will now be undertaken to better define the highest priority targets.

Metalicity has appointed Non-Executive Director Mathew Longworth as its new Chief Executive Officer to drive the company's new focus on the exploration for copper and nickel in the sought after Paterson province of the Pilbara region in Western Australia. This follows founding Managing Director Matt Gauci's decision to step down from his position with effect from 10 January 2019.

Metalicity Limited says it has outlined four significant structural exploration targets for copper-gold at both of its recently secured large project regions in the Paterson province of the Pilbara region in WA. The company identified two targets each at the Mandora and Desert Queen projects that cover over 900 square kilometres, after compiling and modelling existing geophysical and geological data sets.

Artemis Resources has secured a $5.4m funding package from a UK-based institutional group to underpin development activities at its Carlow Castle project near Karratha and exploration in the emerging Paterson Range area to the east. Funding will be used for resource development activities and metallurgical test work at the Carlow Castle gold-copper-cobalt project and to initiate regional geophysical surveys at the company's prospective Paterson Range Armada prospect.

Artemis Resources will undertake a high resolution, low level, airborne magnetic survey targeting gold-copper mineralisation at its Armada prospect located near the Telfer mine in the eastern Pilbara region of WA. The 600 square kilometre tenement holding is effectively surrounded by Greatland Gold's Havieron project where recent diamond drilling returned an amazing intersection of 275 metres grading 4.77g/t gold and 0.61% copper from 459m down-hole.

Artemis Resources has beaten Rio Tinto to a 600km2 exploration licence application that is located just 40km east of Newcrest Mining's Telfer copper-gold mine in Western Australia's Pilbara region. The prospect, which will take Artemis' Pilbara landholdings up to about 2400km2, also hosts the northern extension of the same geological structure that hosts London listed Greatland Gold's Haverion copper-gold discovery.
