Great Boulder grows Whiteheads gold potential with addition of Lignum Dam
Highlights
-
Farm-in Agreement signed with Mithril Resources to acquire an 80% interest in Lignum Dam gold-nickel project in WA
-
Lignum Dam is next to Great Boulder’s recently-acquired Whiteheads gold project, 60km north of Kalgoorlie
-
The expanded Whiteheads project now covers ~ 450sqkm
Great Boulder Resources Limited [ASX: GBR] (“Great Boulder” or “the Company”) is pleased to announce it has signed an earn-in agreement with Mithril Resources Ltd [ASX: MTH] (Mithril) under which Great Boulder can earn up to 80 per cent of the Lignum Dam Project in WA.
Lignum Dam abuts the western side of Great Boulder’s recently acquired Whiteheads Gold Project, located 60km north of Kalgoorlie.
Great Boulder Managing Director Andrew Paterson said Lignum Dam was an ideal complement to the Whiteheads project.
“This is a strategic acquisition, given its location adjacent to Whiteheads and also the fact that there is potential for both gold and nickel within the area,” Mr Paterson said. “It fits nicely into our exploration strategy.
“It’s also an easy earn-in deal with no dilution to shareholders. We will incorporate the Mithril data into our Whiteheads database and prioritise exploration targets accordingly. Mithril has done a lot of good work at Lignum Dam which will give us a good head start.”
Acquisition Summary
The key commercial terms of the agreement are:
-
Great Boulder has the right to earn an 80% interest in the project in a two-stage farm-in.
-
Stage 1 takes the Company to 51% ownership by spending a minimum of $400,000 on exploration over two years.
-
Stage 2 takes the Company to 80% by spending an additional $600,000 over the next two years.
-
Mithril’s 20% interest remains free-carried to a decision to mine.
-
The Company has a minimum exploration commitment of $120,000 if it decides not to proceed with the farm-in.

FIGURE 1: WHITEHEADS GOLD PROJECT SHOWING THE LIGNUM DAM TENEMENTS.
Lignum Dam consists of three exploration licences, E27/538, E27/582 and E27/584. The tenements are contiguous with the western side of the Whiteheads project and cover an area of 212km[2] .
The project straddles the boundary between rocks of the Kalgoorlie Terrane to the west and the Kurnalpi Terrane to the east. Recent exploration by Mithril has focused on the potential for nickel sulphide mineralization within peridotites, with RC drilling at the Mexi prospect in 2017 intersecting 40m @ 0.46% Ni[1] . Previous aircore drilling by Hemisphere Resources in 2008 returned a best intersection of 2m @ 1.55% Ni from 44m in ultramafics at the Drumstick prospect on the west side of E27/538[2] .

In addition to the nickel sulphide potential, Great Boulder believes there is potential for gold mineralisation adjacent to Whiteheads. Of particular interest is the Forty Flats prospect at the southern boundary of Whiteheads tenement E27/622, and any potential for strike extensions to the Lindsays project owned by KalNorth Gold Mines Ltd, which is surrounded by the expanded Whiteheads package.
