Great Boulder Resources Ltd (ASX:GBR) has restarted aircore drilling at its Side Well Gold Project near Meekatharra in Western Australia.
Drilling will test several regional greenfield targets in the Mulga Bill-Ironbark area, with priority targets focused on geochemical anomalies near Ironbark.
GBR will drill about 5,500 metres, with the program expected to be finished within the next two to three weeks and results expected four to five weeks after drilling stops.
Looking for similar gold anomalism
Great Boulder’s managing director Andrew Paterson said: “The rig arrived on schedule earlier this week and started drilling east of Ironbark, so we’re looking forward to seeing if there is similar gold anomalism at depth under these auger anomalies.
“We’ll be testing four areas near Ironbark as well as some reconnaissance drilling east of Mulga Bill and west of Loaded Dog.
"This rig has drilled more than 500 holes at Side Well so I’m confident this program won’t take long.
“Meanwhile our field team is completing auger sampling over the 7 kilometres of strike south of Ironbark and we expect assays from that program will start coming through within the next two weeks.”
