Drilling Update from GSN’s Cox’s Find Gold Project: Stock Trading Close to 52-weeks High

Great Southern Mining (ASX: GSN) engages in increasing shareholder wealth through efficient exploration programs and strategic acquisitions of projects with significant land holdings in the world-renowned gold districts of Laverton in Western Australia and the Mt Carlton Region of North Queensland.

Latest Results from RC Drilling Campaign

Recently, GSN made a strategic decision to substantially expand and speed up the maiden drilling program at its 100% owned Cox’s Find Gold Project. Considering the Project’s attractive exploration opportunity for its shareholders and investors, GSN Doubled the Drilling Program at Cox’s Find Gold Project.

On 26 November 2019, the Company received results from the first 3 Reverse Circulation (RC) holes, and the program is progressing well with drilling expected to be completed by the end of November 2019.

Highlights from the drilling program include:

• So far, drilling had intercepted;
  • 2m @ 9 g/t from 76m in hole 19CFRC001,
  • 3m @ 16 g/t (including 1m @ 44 g/t) from 74m in hole 19CFRC002,
  • 2m @ 36 g/t (including 1m @ 68 g/t) from 146m in hole 19CFRC004,
• All holes were visibly intersecting quartz reef consistent with the ‘Cox’s Find style’ mineralisation;
• The historic underground workings undertaken by Western Mining Corporation (W.M.C.) produced ~76,000 ounces of gold at an average recoverable gold grade of 22.6 g/t between 1936 and 1942;

The preliminary RC drill program is focused on shallow high-grade gold mineralisation adjacent to the historic underground developments, where the drill targets were identified from the integration and modelling of historic mining and exploration data.

GSN’s Chairman John Terpu Commented:

“The exceptional quality of the intersections in these first three drill holes provides confirmation that the mineralisation style and grade is consistent with what was mined by W.M.C. This gives the Company confidence in its exploration model that significant high-grade mineralisation exists beyond the original development”
