This comes after the company recently acquired a detailed airborne survey covering 1,800km², which identified new structural targets suitable for gold mineralisation.

"This data, in conjunction with the recently acquired airborne magnetic data, previous soil sampling data and the data from the successful drilling campaign in late-2016, has outlined several additional gold targets in this new gold province where Greatland holds a dominant landholding and we believe this data set will prove to be an excellent tool for guiding future drill campaigns." 

The company noted that images generated from the gravity survey are being systematically reviewed in conjunction with the detailed airborne magnetic data.
