Yandal West

The Yandal West Project is located within the world class Yandal greenstone belt, approximately 55km north of Bronzewing gold deposit and 60km south of Jundee gold mine, GTE 100% (E53/1369) and GTE 80% (E53/1612 & E53/1816).

Significant drill results have been returned from Harris’ Find, which is open at depth. Interpretation of geological and geophysical data suggests mineralisation is open up to 3km north from Harris Find along the Barwidgee Structure, representing a compelling target.

HARRIS’ FIND

The key target within Yandal West is Harris’ Find, a shallow drill defined gold mineralisation system within the highly prospective Yandal Greenstone Belt which hosts the multi-million-ounce Jundee and Bronzewing Gold Deposits.

Significant gold results were returned from Harris’ Find drilling in late August 2022, including 12m @ 2.09g/t Au from 35m, and 3m @ 3.10g/t Au from 53m.  

The gold lode at Harris’ Find was historically worked in the 1930s, with a small shaft and drive mined. Our drilling has verified and extend these high-grade assays, with significant potential to define further mineralisation at depth down plunge and along strike to the north and south.

Six follow-up drill-holes have been designed to further delineate the lode, with at least one of these holes to be diamond core drilled, to give a better understanding of the structural controls on mineralisation.

BARWIDGEE STRUCTURE

In addition, Great Western completed a review and interpretation of magnetic and radiometric geophysics data and drill and rock-chip geochemical data and defined the “Barwidgee Structure”.

This highly prospective structure hosts mineralisation at Harris’ Find and the Company interprets the structure extends at least 3km to the north from this location. This discrete structure is largely untested with anomalous Rotary Air Blast (RAB) drilling and high-grade rock-chip results recorded in the northern defined extremities of the feature, including 23.5g/t Au (see ASX Announcement dated 5 July 2017) .

NEXT STEPS

Great Western plans to complete an extensive drilling programme along the Barwidgee Structure and at Harris Find as a matter of priority to define and extend gold mineralisation, once final approvals are in place.
