Located in the Paterson region, the Havieron gold-copper discovery reported peak grades of 211.3g/t Au, 12.38% Cu and 4,104ppm Co.

In March last year, Greatland entered into a farm-in agreement with Newcrest to explore and develop the project.

Greatland Gold CEO Gervaise Heddle said: “The agreements announced today represent another important step forward for the Havieron project and will assist in the process for a Mining Lease application, which is expected to be lodged within the next couple of months.

“Greatland looks forward to further strengthening its relationship with WDLAC and the Martu People of the Central Western Desert region, both as a Joint Venture participant and through our own exploration activities in the Paterson region.”
