Great Southern Mining says it will focus its Queensland exploration efforts on its Edinburgh Park gold project after signing a deal to offload its Palmer River site to Revolver Resources for a cool $1 million. The deal appears to be mutually beneficial for both companies with Great Southern enjoying a significant exploration cash boost whilst Revolver receives licences covering an area of 360 square kilometres adjacent to its flagship Dianne copper mine project in northern Queensland.

Great Southern Mining's aggressive exploration approach at its Southern Star prospect near Laverton appears to be paying off, reinforcing what the company says is shaping up to be a very sizeable gold deposit. The latest RC drilling program continues to return wide and shallow hits at the operation in WA's Goldfields region including one 69m intersection going 1.1 grams per tonne from 39m.

Great Southern Mining is ready to start drill testing at its wholly owned East Laverton nickel project in Western Australia's Goldfields region next month. The company has booked a diamond drill rig and reverse-circulation gear for its first drilling program to test the nickel-copper-PGE prospectivity of its Diorite Hill magmatic complex.

Great Southern Mining has locked down an initial term 21-year mining lease over its Southern Star prospect in the Duketon project area where drilling continues to progress with over 50 per cent of its 5,200-metre program now complete. Drilling quartz dolerites on strike with previous hits, the company expects assay results this month.

Great Southern Mining has been awarded a Western Australian Government Exploration Incentive Scheme grant for its East Laverton nickel project. The EIS grant will co-fund up to $220,000 for RC and diamond drilling of bedrock conductors prospective for massive and disseminated nickel sulphides. The two conductors identified from electromagnetic surveys present compelling targets for Nova/Bollinger nickel-copper and Voisey Bay nickel style deposits.

Gold and nickel explorer Great Southern Mining is bringing the drill back to its 100 per cent owned Duketon gold project to commence a 5000 metre RC program on the Southern Star orebody, where previous exploration yielded stunning results up to 56 g/t gold. The company is looking to focus on a southern extension of a lookalike magnetic high feature similar to the existing orebody.

Junior gold explorer Great Southern Mining says a two-hole probe of its Southern Star deposit has confirmed a significant mineralised system. The deposit forms part of the Duketon gold project about 45 kilometres north of Laverton in WA. The company says both diamond holes intersected a mineralised quartz dolerite unit and gold-bearing assemblages that could be part of a larger system.

Great Southern Mining is further investigating the size and extent of two bedrock conductors with a follow-up fixed-loop electromagnetic survey at its East Laverton project in Western Australia. The conductors eked out from the recent geophysical survey are considered highly prospective for massive nickel sulphide mineralisation. One identified anomaly spanned a massive 2km by 1km that the company says provides a “compelling drill target”.

ASX-listed explorer Great Southern Mining has received more high-grade gold sniffs from a new round of drilling at its second-string Mon Ami gold project near Laverton in WA. The new results follow on from its encouraging high-grade drill hits at the project a couple of years ago. Notable intersections from the latest drilling were 11m grading 7.9 g/t gold from 26m including 4m at 15.9 g/t, and 4m at 12.4 g/t from 80m.

Great Southern Mining has re-stocked its financial armoury with commitments received to raise $3.15M in a placement that will see the ASX-listed company turbo charge its exploration program at its Cox's Find gold project in Western Australia. Prior notable results from its maiden drilling program include 5 metres grading 14.54g/t gold and 5m grading 31.23g/t

Great Southern Mining has identified an impressive eight new target areas at its northern Goldfields Cox's Find project courtesy of a 100 metre by 50 metre grid of shallow RAB holes drilled across most of the company's ground holding. The drilling has identified multiple gold anomalous zones, some with concentrations exceeding one gram per tonne. A program of 1,150m for 350 holes has given Great Southern a solid base of new targets to drive the next phase of its exploration program.

Great Southern Mining has remained steadfastly confident of finding something big at its Queensland multi-metals exploration play. The challenges of holding a vast swathe of remote, yet very prospective ground have not prevented the company from fast-tracking the exploration pathway to discovery with a new hyperspectral survey providing an insight into the mineral composition of the underlying rocks. The survey has identified five high priority gold targets and ten secondary gold targets at the Edinburgh Park project.

Perth-based gold explorer, Great Southern Mining is back in the field at its Cox's find project for a tenement-wide air-core geochemical drilling campaign to target further Cox's Find-style mineralised systems. The company will grid-drill the entire area with a 100m x 50m spacing to deliver around 500 shallow holes down to just 1-6m below surface. Geochem samples will be recovered from the base of each hole for assaying.

Great Southern Mining has scored a major hit from its maiden exploration program at its Cox's find deposit, 70km north of Laverton in WA, delivering an ounce to the tonne drill intersection over 5m. Within the 5m intersection there was also an ultra-high-grade section going 143.0g/t gold over a metre.

A strategic drilling expenditure increase by Great Southern Mining at it's under-explored Cox's Find gold project in WA has paid off in spades with ounce plus hits regularly spinning up out of the depths this year pointing to a potential deep continuation of the lodes well below the old historical mine workings. The company has also been awarded $150,000 from the Western Australian Government's Exploration Incentive Scheme.

Great Southern has backed up its maiden drilling results released last month, with ounce-plus hits rolling off the drill bit at its Cox's Find project. New results include 5 meters grading a magical ounce to the tonne gold from 134 meters down-hole that includes a super-high one-metre zone grading 143 grams per tonne gold. These drill holes are stacking up well against old production files that recorded an amazing historical cut-off grade of 12g/t gold.

Great Southern Mining has kicked off its maiden exploration drill program at the prospective looking northern Goldfields based Cox's Find project, with high grade gold hits close to surface starting to roll in. Initial results include 2 metres grading 9 grams per tonne gold from 76 meters downhole and 3 meters grading 16 grams per tonne gold from 74 meters downhole.

Great Southern Mining is set to launch its maiden drill program at the historical Cox's Find gold project near Laverton in WA. The historical mine produced some 76,000 ounces of gold at an absurdly high 22.6 grams per tonne for WMC, close to 80 years ago. The program forms the first substantial exploration in 25 years and the first drilling below 60m depth.

Great Southern Mining will kick off its maiden drill program at the historical, high-grade Cox's Find gold project near Laverton in WA, that churned out 76,000 ounces grading 22.6g/t gold for previous owner, WMC, some 80 years ago. The campaign represents the first exploratory work in 25 years, with the first drilling of any kind below 60m depth and aims to discover substantial new gold resources.

Great Southern Mining is expanding its reach in northern Queensland with two applications for exploration permits that cover much of the prospective ground surrounding the high-grade Dianne copper mine. The permits cover 360 square kilometres in a known gold-copper district and provide the company with an area to carry out detailed exploration to identify similar high-grade copper deposits for follow up drill programs.

Great Southern Mining's maiden drilling program at its Rocky Ponds breccia pipe discovery in northern Queensland has intersected strongly anomalous zones peaking at 0.2g/t gold, 49.7g/t silver, 0.44% copper and 0.58% zinc within sulphide-rich epithermal altered mineralisation. The deposit geology is similar to the Mount Carlton mine, 20km to the south, which hosts 1 million ounces of gold and 33 million ounces of silver.

Great Southern Mining has signed an agreement to acquire the historical high-grade Cox's Find gold mine near Laverton, WA, that produced about 77,000 ounces of gold at an average grade of 21.94g/t gold between 1935 and 1942. The company plans to apply modern exploration techniques to the project with a focus on step-out drilling from the open pit and underground workings.

Great Southern Mining has secured up to $150,000 of co-funding support from the WA Government for RC drilling on the various nickel-cobalt-scandium targets at its Mt Weld project near Laverton. This is timely given the ongoing trade war between China and the US that has sent shares in Lynas Corporation, who operates the neighbouring Mt Weld rare earth mine, sky-rocketing more than 80% since late March.

Great Southern Mining has discovered strongly anomalous cobalt and scandium mineralisation in laterite from historical aircore drilling programs completed at its Mt Weld project, near Laverton, WA. Best results were 12m @ 0.19% cobalt from 56m down-hole and 16m at 130g/t scandium from 38m down-hole in separate vertical drill holes. The company is also re-assaying drill samples for their platinum group metal potential.

Great Southern Mining has stepped on the gas and will fast-track a program of infill and extensional drilling at its emerging Mon Ami gold project near Laverton in the north eastern Goldfields region of WA. The work aims to rapidly expand the current 59,000 ounce resource by drilling down-dip to the west, down-plunge to the north and along strike up to 1km south of the existing resource.

Great Southern's rock chip samples taken from weathered and oxidised gossanous outcrop at the SW-1 prospect of its emerging Edinburgh Park project in northern Queensland has returned high grade results of up to 10.6g/t gold, 315g/t silver and 1.95% copper. Further mapping and sampling programs are being carried out to better define the polymetallic prospect.

Great Southern Mining has discovered an intriguing gold/silver mineralised breccia pipe at its Rocky Ponds prospect, located near Townsville in northern Queensland. Rock chip samples up to 0.38g/t gold and 6.9g/t silver were returned from the hydrothermal intrusion. The company is now fast-tracking approvals and consents for RC and diamond drill testing at the prospect.

Great Southern Mining has identified an exciting large-scale porphyry system containing highly anomalous assays at its Leichardt Creek prospect, located near Townsville in northern Queensland. Rock chip samples up to 0.56% copper, 0.12g/t gold and 0.46% molybdenum were returned from a broad zone of gossanous, stock worked quartz veining and disseminated multi-mineralised outcrops also elevated in silver, zinc and lead, over an area of nearly 6 square kilometres.

Great Southern Mining has successfully completed metallurgical test work on oxidised ores from its flagship Mon Ami project in WA that showed up to 97% recovery of the contained gold. The work has confirmed that the ores are amenable to conventional cyanide leaching and gravity recovery techniques and that low reagent uptake and coarse grinding will likely result in low operating costs.

Great Southern Mining has outlined its initial exploration strategy for its new Mt Weld gold play, located 30km southeast of Laverton in the northern Goldfields region of WA. The company will acquire remote geophysical data and complete on-site mapping and surface sampling at the project during this quarter. The project area is centred 12km from the company's flagship Mon Ami gold project that contains at least 59,000 gold ounces.

Great Southern Mining has completed a maiden inferred mineral resource estimate of 1.1 million tonnes grading 1.7g/t gold for 59,000 ounces at its flagship Mon Ami gold project near Laverton in the northern Goldfields region of WA. The newly discovered deposit is just 25km trucking distance from Gold Field's Granny Smith gold operation, opening up the possibility of future toll treatment of ores.

Great Southern Mining has unearthed rock chip samples up to 1.65g/t gold and 185g/t silver during its first pass geological reconnaissance exploration program at the Edinburgh Park project, located only 25km from the revered Mt Carlton epithermal-style gold mine in northern Queensland. The company has generated a number of high priority structural targets from the campaign and is now planning an RC drilling program to test those areas.

Great Southern Mining has paid $145,000 in a deal that will allow the junior explorer to pick up 4 exploration licences, within 15km of its Mon Ami project near Laverton in W.A. The new tenements are just 25km trucking distance from Gold Field's Granny Smith gold operation, opening up the future possibility of toll treating the ore if the company is successful on the hunt in the area.
