DRILLING UNDERWAY AT SIDE WELL
HIGHLIGHTS
-
➢ GBR has recommenced air-core (AC) drilling at Side Well
-
➢ Approx. 4,000m planned at high priority targets: Ironbark South & Mulga Bill North
-
➢ Sub-audio magnetics (SAM) survey commenced over a 2km area centred on the Ironbark deposit to enhance target refinement & generation along the 14km long Ironbark corridor
-
➢ First assays from recent diamond drilling expected shortly
Great Boulder Resources (“ Great Boulder ” or the “ Company ”) (ASX: GBR ) is pleased to advise shareholders that AC drilling has resumed at the Company’s flagship Side Well Gold Project (“ Side Well ”) near Meekatharra in Western Australia.
A drilling program of approximately 4,000m will test targets along strike to the south of Ironbark and also in the Mulga Bill North area.
Great Boulder’s Managing Director, Andrew Paterson commented:
“The Great Boulder field team is back in action testing two priority target areas. Drilling south of Ironbark will test mineralisation along strike as well as some untested geochemical anomalies. At Mulga Bill North we have a series of holes testing the 700m mineralised zone outlined by previous drilling.”
“The first assays from recent diamond drilling at Ironbark and Mulga Bill should start trickling through within the coming fortnight, so we expect to have more updates shortly.”
“We are also working in parallel to progress cultural heritage surveys over the broader Ironbark corridor as a priority for upcoming exploration programs.”
“Great Boulder is well positioned for an extremely busy second half of 2023 as we look to start testing a range of exciting targets within the 14km-long Ironbark hydrothermal gold system. This will underpin the Company’s drilling programs as we work to define Side Well’s million-ounce potential.”
Next Steps
The Company has requested cultural heritage surveys by representatives of the Yugunga Nya group over approximately 14km of strike along the Ironbark corridor. This area includes a number of priority targets that form the bulk of GBR’s prospect pipeline for FY24 (see Figure 2) and in which the Company is aiming to make a number of new Ironbark-style discoveries of near-surface, high-grade

gold mineralisation. Several high priority targets are defined by larger gold and bismuth auger anomalies than Ironbark, suggesting potential for larger-scale mineralised systems.
At the end of June a SAM survey commenced over a 2km area centred on the Ironbark deposit. This will provide high-resolution images of the magnetic and electrical properties of the immediate Ironbark area. The data is expected to provide an improved understanding of the controls on mineralisation at Ironbark, to be used in targeting further drilling around the resource and at similar targets elsewhere.
Once heritage clearances are received for the greater Ironbark trend the Company will commence a large-scale AC program testing priority targets, followed by RC drilling on a campaign basis.
