The drilling was conducted to extend and duplicate some of the gold intersections from previous explorers. Further, the drilling program was designed to validate the mineralisation model in the upper part of the mineralised system.

As per the companyâs announcement, it is expected that the drill results will not only extend the mineral resource they will also provide guidance for the next round of RC/diamond drilling which is going to commence soon.
In December 2018, the company completed the acquisition of the Abbotts gold exploration project from Doray Minerals Limited, materially expanding its the scope of its Garden Gully Project.
The company currently controls about 80% of the Abbotts Greenstone Belt, the only greenstone belt in the highly gold productive region, stretching from beyond Peak Hill in the north to beyond Payneâs Find in the south, and from Gidgee in the east to Yalgoo in the west, that is yet to deliver a significant gold discovery. This area has an excellent local infrastructure which includes two operational gold plants nearby: Westgoldâs ~3.1 Mtpa Bluebird Plant; and the ~300kpta Andy Well plant.
The company is currently progressing with its new growth strategy to pursue low cost development and cash flow from the Garden Gully Project is progressing.
