Greatland Resources Ltd on Thursday said it continues work to expand the West Dome Underground project, reporting ‘excellent drilling results’. The Western Australia-focused gold and copper mining company said 19 holes for over 9,000 metres are complete from the WDU project’s phase 2 drilling programme, and that it has received results from nine holes. ‘Increasing drill density has improved our understanding of the WDU, with three mineralised domains now confirmed: a broad sub-vertical Western Stockwork Corridor (WSC), flanked by the extensive Western Limb and Eastern Limb high grade shoots hosted within the Lower Limey Unit (LLU), an important geological horizon for gold-copper mineralisation at Telfe,’ the company said. Greatland reported that recent drilling ‘has returned exceptional drilling results in the WSC domain over a broad zone of stockwork mineralisation’, with results including 56.6 metres at 2.24 grams per tonne of gold and 1.26% copper. Mineralisation intercepts for the Western Limb LLU include 34.5 metres at 4.06 grams per tonne gold and 0.31% copper, and results from the Eastern Limb LLU include 30 metres at 5.6 g/t gold and 0.25% copper. Greatland added that a third diamond drill has been allocated to the WDU project, ‘to accelerate drilling and support delivery of a maiden mineral resource estimate targeted for the March 2026 quarter.’ ‘We continue to see excellent drilling results and progress at the compelling West Dome Underground project,’ commented Managing Director Shaun Day. ‘Access to the West Dome Underground effectively opens access to a new quartile of the Telfer mine, being the two open pits and potentially the opportunity to start a second underground mine...The second development drive to the West Dome Underground is well progressed, and a pre-feasibility study is now underway and will assess how the substantial existing infrastructure capacity at the Main Dome Underground can be leveraged to deliver a pathway to production.’ Shares in Greatland were 2.2% higher at 370.50 pence each in London on Thursda morning.
