Notes for Editors:
Greatland Gold plc (AIM:GGP) is a leading development and exploration company with a focus on tier-one gold-copper deposits. The Company's flagship asset is the world-class Havieron gold-copper deposit in the Paterson region of Western Australia, discovered by Greatland and presently under development in Joint Venture with Newcrest Mining Ltd.
Havieron is located approximately 45km east of Newcrest's Telfer gold mine and, subject to positive decision to mine, will leverage the existing infrastructure and processing plant to significantly reduce the project's capital expenditure and carbon impact for a low cost pathway to development. An extensive growth drilling programme is presently underway at Havieron with a Pre-Feasibility Study due for release in late calendar 2021. Commencement of the box cut and decline to develop the Havieron orebody commenced in February 2021.
Greatland has a proven track record of discovery and exploration success. It is pursuing the next generation of tier-one mineral deposits by applying advanced exploration techniques in under-explored regions. The Company is focused on safe, low-risk jurisdictions and is strategically positioned in the highly prospective Paterson region. Greatland has a total six projects across Australia with a focus on becoming a multi-commodity mining company of significant scale.
