Results from 2021 Exploration Programme at Scallywag

 

Assay results show broad geochemical anomalism at Scallywag providing further evidence of mineralising systems, confirming the area's prospectivity

 

New conductor targets in ground electromagnetic surveys identified for 2022 drilling

 

Greatland Gold plc (AIM:GGP), a mining development and exploration company with a focus on precious and base metals, is pleased to announce completed drilling results from the 2021 drill programme at its 100% owned Scallywag licence.  Results have been received for the seven holes completed at four prospects, along with the results of the ground Electro-Magnetic ("EM") survey.

 

The 2021 drilling programme and ground EM survey at Scallywag is the second stage of the comprehensive exploration programme initiated at Scallywag and comprised seven holes for 3,863 metres, testing the Swan, Barbossa West, Architeuthis and Teach targets (refer to previous announcements on 19 April 2021 and 24 August 2021).

 

Highlights

 

§ Significantly anomalous Au with Bi-Te-Sb pathfinder geochemistry intersected in SWD001 at the Swan target:

§ 2.6m @ 0.19g/t Au from 35.4m AND 3m @ 0.19g/t Au from 430m in Swan hole SWD001, associated with broad zones of strongly anomalous Bi-Te-Sb pathfinders;

§                 Anomalous gold and pathfinders identified in three further holes at the Swan and Barbossa West prospects

§ 7m @ 0.10g/t Au from 18m in Swan hole SWD003

§ 1m @ 0.48g/t Au from 384m in Swan hole SWD002

§ 1m @ 0.20g/t Au from 296m in Barbossa West hole BWD001

§                 Ground EM survey completed identifying eight promising EM conductor plates in four targets, including two plates adjacent to Swan hole SWD001 above, representing potential higher grade mineralisation proximal to the anomalism identified at Swan to date

 

Next Steps

§ 2022 exploration drill programme designed to test ground EM conductors at Pearl, Swan and Swan East

§ Surface geochemistry in suitable areas involving Ultra Fine Fraction geochemistry is planned

§ Ongoing review of the 2020 airborne Electro-Magnetic survey, to identify further "Pearl" like aerial EM anomalies for ground EM follow-up

§ Further analysis of the drilling results from 2021, 2020 and integration into ongoing basin-wide geophysical and geological modelling to drive further targeting

 

 

Shaun Day, Managing Director of Greatland Gold plc, commented: "We are pleased with the results from the 2021 drilling campaign on our 100% owned Scallywag licence. Gold mineralisation has been intercepted in four of the seven holes reported, which is highly encouraging.

 

"These results, together with identifying several new conductor targets from the ground EM programme and results from the 2020 work, increases our confidence regarding the prospectivity for intrusion related and other styles of mineralised systems at Scallywag.

 

"In addition to identifying prospective drill targets for our 2022 drill program, this rich set of data builds our understanding of the regional and prospect scale geology as we continue to develop and refine our targeting strategy ahead of our 2022 exploration programmes."

Further Information on the Scallywag Drill Programme

 

Assay results have been received from all seven Reverse Circulation / Diamond Drilling holes drilled at four prospects on the 100% owned Scallywag tenement during the second half of 2021 as described previously ("Drilling Commences at 100% owned Scallywag Licence", Greatland announcement dated 24 August 2021)This phase of drilling at Scallywag comprised seven holes for 3,862.7m, testing the Swan, Barbossa West, Architeuthis and Teach targets (Table 1).

 

Drill sample turnaround times were significantly delayed due to the record high volume of samples being sent to assay laboratories across the industry in Western Australia.

 

 

Swan

Swan comprises a strong, deep aerial EM conductor (A33) located in an interpreted fold structure with coincident gravity high developed adjacent to, or truncated by, structures in the crustal scale Kaliranu Fault Zone.  Two reconnaissance holes SWD001 and SWD002 were completed on the target, along with three lines of ground EM. Hole SWD003 was drilled to test a further airborne EM anomaly 1.5 km east of Swan.  The Swan area is covered by 15 - 25 metres of transported sediments.

SWD001 returned geochemically significant Au assays over several narrow intervals within several broader zones of anomalous multielement bismuth (Bi)- tellurium (Te) -Antimony (Sb) metal associations (Appendix 1; Tables 1 - 3). A wide zone of weak, patchy Au anomalism occurs from around 415 - 450m downhole, with narrow internal widths of strongly anomalous Bi-Te-Sb (Table 2a). The geology consists of massive, dark, siliceous massive silty sandstone - quartzite. Flecks of very fine-grained trace pyrite and pyrrhotite were noted from 430 - 442m. A similar zone of anomalous Au with strong Bi-Te occurs from 140 - 180m (Table 2b), with trace fine sulphides logged from 145 - 152m.

A third weakly Au anomalous zone is located in bedrock immediately below, and around the unconformity, suggesting possible supergene dispersion from a higher grade bedrock system.

Drilling did not adequately explain the source of the airborne electromagnetic anomaly. Recently completed ground EM surveying has identified more constrained conductor targets in the Swan area that will be followed up by further drilling, and in particular conductor plates were identified to the west and east of hole SWD001. The Au-Bi-Te-Sb anomalous intersections described above may represent a halo to potential higher grade mineralisation associated with the new ground EM conductive plates.  

The occurrence of several intervals of moderately intense quartz-carbonate veining, patches of sericite, hematite and albite hydrothermal alteration, trace sulphides, anomalous Au and Bi-Te-Sb pathfinder metal geochemistry, and a possible supergene dispersion zone, are all highly encouraging and suggest mineralising fluids were active in the area. Further work is warranted to test around Swan, and in particular drill testing of ground EM conductor plates to the east and west of Swan is considered a priority and planned for the 2022 field program.  Surface soil sampling will also be trialed, looking to identify a source to the apparent supergene mineralisation.

SWD002 and SWD003 returned similar geology and geochemical relationships, but generally weaker, more patchy and narrower Au- Cu and multi-element geochemical results. Ground EM at the nearby A34 anomaly has identified a further strong discrete conductor at depth that warrants drill testing.

 

Architeuthis, Barbossa West and Teach

These targets comprised magnetic and structural targets identified under deep cover around the Scallywag Syncline, and were tested by four drill holes (one each at Architeuthis and Barbossa West, and two at Teach).

 

All holes intersected basement (between 85 to 240m in depth) and reached target depths. Several zones of anomalous gold and pathfinder mineralisation have been identified, as outlined in Appendix 1- Table 3.

 

Further review of the drill hole logging and assay data will be undertaken to help resolve the stratigraphy, drive geological understanding and improve targeting.

 

 

Ground EM Surveying

Ground Electro-Magnetic ("EM") surveys were completed over targets identified in the 2020 heliborne aerial EM survey reported previously ("Drilling Commences at 100% owned Scallywag Licence", Greatland announcement dated 24 August 2021).  The programme was designed to confirm the aerial EM targets and better define the geometry of the bedrock conductors prior to drilling.

 

Approximately 21.4-line kilometres of data were collected, over five target areas (A32 to A35) in and around the Swan area, along 16 lines.  Three types of survey configurations were used for the collection of the data: Fixed Loop, In-loop and Slingram to obtain optimal results.

 

The survey data has identified several potential bedrock conductors.  These have been modelled to delineate their conductance and location.  A total of eight sub-vertical conductor plate targets have been identified across the A33 (Swan, two plates), A32 (Pearl, two plates), A34 (1 plate) and A35 (three plates) prospects. Plates are generally 80 - 220m beneath the surface, the majority can be targeted by RC drilling, with or without diamond core tails. Drilling, heritage clearance, drill pad and access clearing has been planned and is underway. 

 

In addition to drill testing the ground EM targets generated in 2021, further geophysical modelling and data processing is underway looking to upgrade further airborne EM anomalies from the 2020 program and plan further ground EM in the 2022 exploration programme, potentially identifying further drill targets.

Notes for Editors:

 

Greatland Gold plc (AIM:GGP) is a mining development and exploration company with a focus on precious and base metals. 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 maiden Pre-Feasibility Study released on the South-East crescent on 12 October 2021. Construction of the box cut and decline to develop the Havieron deposit 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.

APPENDIX 2

JORC Code, 2012 Edition - Table 1

Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data

(Criteria in this section apply to all succeeding sections.)

 

Criteria

JORC Code explanation

Commentary

Sampling techniques

·     Nature and quality of sampling (eg cut channels, random chips, or specific specialised industry standard measurement tools appropriate to the minerals under investigation)

·     Include reference to measures taken to ensure sample representivity and the appropriate calibration of any measurement tools or systems used.

·     Aspects of the determination of mineralisation that are Material to the Public Report.

·     In cases where 'industry standard' work has been done this would be relatively simple (eg 'reverse circulation drilling was used to obtain 1 m samples from which 3 kg was pulverised to produce a 30 g charge for fire assay'). In other cases more explanation may be required, such as where there is coarse gold that has inherent sampling problems. Unusual commodities or mineralisation types (eg submarine nodules) may warrant disclosure of detailed information.

·     A multi-purpose RC-DD rig was used to obtain representative samples in an industry standard method.

·     Greatland samples comprise half core material in generally 1m lengths (NQ core) or 0.5m lengths (in PQ core). All basement and the basal 20m of the Permian cover was sampled. Core was cut using an automated core-cutter.

·     Cutting of core adjacent to downhole orientation line or, where un-oriented and possible, orthogonal to visible geological structures such as bedding, foliation; ensures sample representivity.

·     50% of the core is retained for future check logging, re-sampling and QA/QC.

Ground EM Data Collection:

In late September through early October 2021, Vortex Geophysics on behalf of Greatland Gold undertook the collection of 4.2-line kilometres of Fixed Loop electromagnetic data and 17.2-line km of Moving Loop ground electromagnetic data. The traverses were undertaken over five target areas identified from the 2020 Heliborne EM survey.

 

The data collection traverses were customised in orientations such as to avoid crossing sand dunes. Initial survey planning was to collect the data using an In-loop configuration, however strong "IP" effects recorded in the data resulted in a change of the survey design to Slingram. Consequently, some In-loop traverses were recollected using the Slingram configuration. Additionally, a small, Fixed Loop survey was undertaken over anomaly A32.

 

Moving Loop Data collection specifications are:

·      200m square transmitter loops

·      Zonge GGT30 transmitter

·      3 component EMIT smart B-field (fluxgate) sensor

·      EMIT SMARTem24 receiver

·      Base frequency 0.5 Htz

·      Duty cycle 50%

·      Off time ramp 1 msec

·      39 Time channels 0.095msec to 371msec

·      Station spacing: 100m and 50m.

Fixed Loop Data collection specifications are:

·      200m by 300m transmitter loop (East by North)

·      Zonge GGT30 transmitter

·      3 component EMIT smart B-field (fluxgate) sensor

·      EMIT SMARTem24 receiver

·      Base frequency 0.5 Htz

·      Duty cycle 50%

·      Off time ramp 1 msec

·      39 Time channels 0.095msec to 371msec

·      Line spacing 50m

·      Station spacing: 100m and 50m.

·      Line Orientation: east-west, east of Tx Loop

Drilling techniques

·     Drill type (eg core, reverse circulation, open-hole hammer, rotary air blast, auger, Bangka, sonic, etc) and details (eg core diameter, triple or standard tube, depth of diamond tails, face-sampling bit or other type, whether core is oriented and if so, by what method, etc).

·     RC or mud-rotary pre-collars were followed by HQ then NQ diamond drill core to EOH.

·     The core is oriented using a Reflex mark III tool, nominally every core run (around 6m).

 

Drill sample recovery

·     Method of recording and assessing core and chip sample recoveries and results assessed.

·     Measures taken to maximise sample recovery and ensure representative nature of the samples.

·     Whether a relationship exists between sample recovery and grade and whether sample bias may have occurred due to preferential loss/gain of fine/coarse material.

·     Recovery is measured on core and reconciled against driller's depth blocks in each core tray. Basement core recovery is typically around 100%;

·     No specific measures have been taken to maximise recovery, other than employing skilled drillers;

·     Half core cut along orientation lines assist in sample representivity;

·     No relationship between recovery and grade has been observed;

 

Logging

·     Whether core and chip samples have been geologically and geotechnically logged to a level of detail to support appropriate Mineral Resource estimation, mining studies and metallurgical studies.

·     Whether logging is qualitative or quantitative in nature. Core (or costean, channel, etc) photography.

·     The total length and percentage of the relevant intersections logged.

·   The logging is of sufficient quality to support a Mineral Resource estimate, and comprises a combination of quantitative and qualitative features. The entire hole is logged;

·   Geological logging recorded qualitative descriptions of lithology, alteration, mineralisation, veining, and structure including orientation of key geological features;

·   Geotechnical measurements were recorded including Rock Quality Designation (RQD), solid core recovery and qualitative rock strength measurements;

·   Magnetic susceptibility measurements were recorded every metre using a KT20 machine;

·   The bulk density of selected drill core intervals was determined at site on whole core samples.

·   Digital data was recorded on site and stored in an SQL database.

·   All drill cores were photographed, prior to cutting and sampling the core.

·   The ground EM survey data identified several potential bedrock conductors.  These have been modelled by an expert geophysical Consultant Dave McInnes from Montana GIS in Maxwell, using the Leroi Algorithm, to delineate their conductance and location.

Sub-sampling techniques and sample preparation

·     If core, whether cut or sawn and whether quarter, half or all core taken.

·     If non-core, whether riffled, tube sampled, rotary split, etc and whether sampled wet or dry.

·     For all sample types, the nature, quality and appropriateness of the sample preparation technique.

·     Quality control procedures adopted for all sub-sampling stages to maximise representivity of samples.

·     Measures taken to ensure that the sampling is representative of the in situ material collected, including for instance results for field duplicate/second-half sampling.

·     Whether sample sizes are appropriate to the grain size of the material being sampled.

·     Drill core samples were freighted by road to the laboratory. All core is cut with a core saw, and half core sampled;

·     The samples are assayed at Intertek (Perth, WA).  Samples were dried at 105oC, and the bulk of the samples pulverised (using LM5) to produce a pulped product. Oversize primary samples were crushed and a 3kg subsample then milled with the LM5 mill.

·     Sub sampling is reduced to minimum by using total sample pulverization prior to sub sampling wherever possible;

·     The sample sizes (2-3kg) are considered appropriate for the material being sampled;

 

Quality of assay data and laboratory tests

·     The nature, quality and appropriateness of the assaying and laboratory procedures used and whether the technique is considered partial or total.

·     For geophysical tools, spectrometers, handheld XRF instruments, etc, the parameters used in determining the analysis including instrument make and model, reading times, calibrations factors applied and their derivation, etc.

·     Nature of quality control procedures adopted (eg standards, blanks, duplicates, external laboratory checks) and whether acceptable levels of accuracy (ie lack of bias) and precision have been established.

·     The samples were assayed for Au by a 50gm fire assay and for a multi-element scan using 4 acid digest and MS and OES finish for pathfinder and lithogeochemical elements. The assays are considered total rather than partial;

·     Greatland QA/QC procedures include using reference samples and field duplicate samples every 25 samples, in addition to the laboratories in- house QA/QC methods;

·     Analysis of the quality control sample assay results indicates that an acceptable level of accuracy and precision has been achieved and the database contains no analytical data that has been numerically manipulated.

·     Historical drilling- no sampling reported

Verification of sampling and assaying

·     The verification of significant intersections by either independent or alternative company personnel.

·     The use of twinned holes.

·     Documentation of primary data, data entry procedures, data verification, data storage (physical and electronic) protocols.

·     Discuss any adjustment to assay data.

·     No significant assay intervals were reported.

·     No twinned holes have been completed;

·     All data entry procedures, including original logging, sample depth selection for sampling and recording of sample numbers are recorded digitally in an electronic database.

·     There are no adjustments to assay data, other than below detection samples are reported at negative one half the detection limit.

Location of data points

·     Accuracy and quality of surveys used to locate drill holes (collar and down-hole surveys), trenches, mine workings and other locations used in Mineral Resource estimation.

·     Specification of the grid system used.

·     Quality and adequacy of topographic control.

·     Drill collar locations were surveyed using hand held GPS. RL's were collected with the same GPS;

·     Drill rig alignment was attained using a hand held compass.

·     Downhole survey was collected every 30m in diamond drill core segments of the drill hole using a single shot Axis Mining Champ Gyro.

·     The topography is generally low relief to flat, elevation within the dune corridors in ranges between 250-265m AHD steepening to the southeast;

·     All collar coordinates are provided in the Geocentric Datum of Australian (GDA94 Zone 51). All relative depth information is reported in Australian Height Datum (AHD)

Data spacing and distribution

·     Data spacing for reporting of Exploration Results.

·     Whether the data spacing and distribution is sufficient to establish the degree of geological and grade continuity appropriate for the Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve estimation procedure(s) and classifications applied.

·     Whether sample compositing has been applied.

·     Drill holes are individual exploration holes targeting specific targets, and are not part of a grid pattern;

·     Not applicable in early stage exploration;

·     No sample compositing has been applied;

 

Orientation of data in relation to geological structure

·     Whether the orientation of sampling achieves unbiased sampling of possible structures and the extent to which this is known, considering the deposit type.

·     If the relationship between the drilling orientation and the orientation of key mineralised structures is considered to have introduced a sampling bias, this should be assessed and reported if material.

·     Drilling is oriented at various angles to folded layering, and to identified sulphide mineralized structures. The relationship to possible mineralized structures is unknown at this stage.

 

Sample security

·     The measures taken to ensure sample security.

·     The security of samples is controlled by tracking samples from drill rig to database;

·     Entire core samples are delivered by company personnel to a freight company in Port Hedland for delivery by road freight to the assay lab in Perth, where the core is cut and sampled.

Audits or reviews

·     The results of any audits or reviews of sampling techniques and data.

·     No audits or reviews have been completed.

·     Historical work comprised shallow drilling in the north end of the Scallywag tenement (72 generally aircore holes, averaging 47.3m deep, 4 RAB holes (average 68m) and 9 RC holes (average 96.3m) by companies including Newcrest and Normandy Exploration Limited.

·     Historical reports (WAMEX "A" numbers) are referenced in previous RNS announcements 24th August 2021, 16th April 2021 

Geology

·     Deposit type, geological setting and style of mineralisation.

·     Exploration is for intrusion related & orogenic, structurally controlled Au-Cu deposits similar to Telfer, Havieron and Winu, all located in Neo-Proterozoic Yeneena Group sediments of the Paterson Province, Western Australia

Drill hole Information

·     A summary of all information material to the understanding of the exploration results including a tabulation of the following information for all Material drill holes:

easting and northing of the drill hole collar

elevation or RL (Reduced Level - elevation above sea level in metres) of the drill hole collar

dip and azimuth of the hole

down hole length and interception depth

hole length.

·     If the exclusion of this information is justified on the basis that the information is not Material and this exclusion does not detract from the understanding of the report, the Competent Person should clearly explain why this is the case.

·     Greatland drill hole collar details are listed in Appendix I- Table 1 and anomalous results in Tables 2a, 2b and 3

 

Data aggregation methods

·     In reporting Exploration Results, weighting averaging techniques, maximum and/or minimum grade truncations (eg cutting of high grades) and cut-off grades are usually Material and should be stated.

·     Where aggregate intercepts incorporate short lengths of high grade results and longer lengths of low grade results, the procedure used for such aggregation should be stated and some typical examples of such aggregations should be shown in detail.

·     The assumptions used for any reporting of metal equivalent values should be clearly stated.

·     No economically significant results have been reported, and no data aggregation methods have been applied.

·     Where anomalous results are quoted (Appendix I) the samples have been selected as follows :

Au >0.1ppm; or

Ag >2ppm; or

Cu >500ppm; or

Bi >5ppm; or

Pb >200ppm; or

Zn >1000ppm

 

Relationship between mineralis-ation widths and intercept lengths

·     These relationships are particularly important in the reporting of Exploration Results.

·     If the geometry of the mineralisation with respect to the drill hole angle is known, its nature should be reported.

·     If it is not known and only the down hole lengths are reported, there should be a clear statement to this effect (eg 'down hole length, true width not known').

·     No economically significant results are reported, and there is no known relationship between reported widths and the geometry of any mineralization.

Diagrams

·     Appropriate maps and sections (with scales) and tabulations of intercepts should be included for any significant discovery being reported These should include, but not be limited to a plan view of drill hole collar locations and appropriate sectional views.

·     Maps & a Section are provided. No significant discovery is reported.

Balanced reporting

·     Where comprehensive reporting of all Exploration Results is not practicable, representative reporting of both low and high grades and/or widths should be practiced to avoid misleading reporting of Exploration Results.

·     The reporting is considered balanced

Other substantive exploration data

·     Other exploration data, if meaningful and material, should be reported including (but not limited to): geological observations; geophysical survey results; geochemical survey results; bulk samples - size and method of treatment; metallurgical test results; bulk density, groundwater, geotechnical and rock characteristics; potential deleterious or contaminating substances.

·     No other substantive exploration data other than that provided.

Further work

·     The nature and scale of planned further work (eg tests for lateral extensions or depth extensions or large-scale step-out drilling).

·     Diagrams clearly highlighting the areas of possible extensions, including the main geological interpretations and future drilling areas, provided this information is not commercially sensitive.

·     Further drilling of the ground EM targets including the Swan target is planned for 2022, along with soil sampling, geophysical follow up and possible ground EM.
