LONDON (Alliance News) - Greatland Gold PLC on Tuesday said it has begun drilling operations at the Ernest Giles gold and nickel project in western Australia.
Greatland plans to drill the Empress and Meadows gold targets and the Carnegie nickel target, with the first batch of samples expected to be dispatched to the laboratory for testing "in the coming days," it said.
"The project area itself is currently largely unexplored as it is covered by desert sands and sediments. The first drilling samples will be dispatched to the laboratory in the coming days and results are expected approximately four weeks after submission," said Chief Executive Callum Baxter.
Greatland shares were up 6.4% to 0.149 pence per share on Tuesday morning.
