WA gold company Latitude Consolidated (ASX: LCD) is pleased to announce that it has completed the previously announced acquisition of an 80% interest in the Mt Ida South gold projects ( see ASX Announcement – 8 September 2016 ).
Latitude now holds an 80% interest in the project tenements listed in Appendix 1, which are located in the highly prospective Mt Ida gold district of WA.
The tenement package (excluding excisions) includes both granted tenements and tenement applications (see Figure 1). This acquisition, together with additional ground which Latitude has pegged in its own right, takes the total Mt Ida area under control to 312km[2] .
Within this newly acquired JV ground, Latitude has located a vast amount of exploration data dating back from the late 1960’s (nickel boom) to present times and has commenced a review. Significant evidence has been uncovered that suggests the tenement area is highly prospective for both Gold and Nickel.
Much of the tenure has undergone surface geochemical sampling which has been completed on varying grid spacing and is dominated by auger sampling, with selected areas tested using sieved soils. Many of these areas have never been followed up.
These datasets are the product of many generations of exploration completed by a number of companies who have explored within the Mt Ida district. They have yet to be scrutinized and validated to the point where they can be considered JORC 2012 compliant.
The Company is currently undertaking this work, which is expected to significantly enhance its exploration efforts in the region.
From an initial investigation, a number of target areas stand out (see Figure 2).
www.latitudeconsolidated.com.au
Some of these targets are based on surface geochemistry and have yet to be drilled. There are also a number of targets that have been tested with broad spaced (200m x 50m) drilling that clearly demonstrate the need for follow up work. Historical workings that have been confirmed by surface geochemistry also appear to be untested with drilling.

Figure 1: Latitude Tenement Holdings – Mt Ida District Western Australia
Newly acquired gold prospects include the Shepard’s Bush prospect, which is located approximately 2km due south of Latitude’s Spotted Dog South Prospect. Several other gold prospects have been defined by previous explorers in close proximity to the Ballard Fault (known mineralised structure hosting Black Kite, Bluebird and Quinn Hills prospects), which are located between 2.6 km to 6.0 km north of Latitude’s Black Kite Prospect. These include Golden Ridge, Golden Ridge North and Wedgetail. Other prospects identified include Unexpected East and Pianto’s Find North, and several targets near the historical Lady Doris West workings.
Latitude believe that this tenement package is highly prospective and complements the Company’s existing ground-holding within the Mt Ida Greenstone belt. The review of the historical datasets is continuing and the Company will update the market as this work progresses.
An Appendix 3B is attached in relation to the issue of consideration securities, and contractor options as approved by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting held on 29 November 2016.
