Exploration Update: Drilling approvals in progress for Whiteheads exploration
Highlights
-
Program of Work approvals lodged for priority targets at Whiteheads
-
Holes pegged for next round of drilling at Tarmoola
-
Further work planned at Winchester and Mt Carlon
Great Boulder Resources Limited [ASX: GBR] (“Great Boulder” or “the Company”) is pleased to present an update on progress at its Western Australian gold and nickel projects. Following the recent acquisition of the Whiteheads gold project north of Kalgoorlie, the Company is now planning its first round of RC drilling on priority targets. In addition to this, preparations are underway for the next round of drilling at Tarmoola while planning is continuing for further work at Winchester and Mt Carlon.
Whiteheads Gold Project
Program of Work approvals have been lodged for Whiteheads. Great Boulder intends to commence drilling in the second half of October with an initial 2,000m RC program.
Drilling will target mineralisation at the Seven Leaders and Lady Betty prospects, both of which host
known high-grade gold intersected in previous drilling.
A recent field visit to Whiteheads emphasised the prospectivity of the project, particularly along the mineralised corridor between Seven Leaders and Anomaly H (Figure 2) where significant historic workings remain relatively untested by drilling. Within this corridor The Lady Geraldine mine at Whiteheads Find consisted of a three-compartment shaft and a ten-head stamp battery, with an east-west quartz reef mined to a depth of 400 feet (120m). Contemporary reports refer to the bottom level of the mine being “about 3 feet wide, still going about 1½ ounces to the ton”[1] . In spite of the size of the Lady Geraldine workings, the east-west trend has not been tested by drilling.
Great Boulder Managing Director Andrew Paterson said the Company is looking forward to drilling
the Whiteheads project.
“We should have the PoW approvals in the next few weeks, with an RC rig turning as soon as possible. It will be great to see the first samples coming out of Seven Leaders and Lady Betty.

Great Boulder has not been able to verify either the width or the grade of gold mineralisation at Lady Geraldine and investors are reminded that this statement does not comply with the JORC Code 2012.

“We’re also busy following up leads on other prospects and planning a regional aircore program to follow the RC work. At the same time we’re considering geophysical surveys to optimise the value of ongoing exploration.”
Desktop work to review and collate historical reports is continuing, and the Company anticipates other prospects may come to light during this process.

Tarmoola – Sturt Meadows prospect
Holes have been pegged at Sturt Meadows in preparation for follow-up drilling, which is expected to follow the Whiteheads program. As discussed in the June 2019 Quarterly Report, the Company intends to test beneath an intersection of vaesite (nickel sulphide NiS2) found in a deep palaeochannel earlier in the year. Holes are also planned to test an EM anomaly which coincides with a basal contact between ultramafics and basalt, a highly prospective setting for nickel sulphide accumulation.
Mt Carlon
Data from the recent airborne EM survey over Mt Carlon is still being processed to refine and model potential conductive anomalies. Once this process is complete the resulting targets will be ranked and further work planned accordingly.
Winchester
Ongoing drilling is being planned to test extensions to sulphide copper-nickel mineralization at the Winchester prospect. At this stage the Winchester drilling has not been scheduled, pending the completion of other work.
