Great Southern Mining (ASX:GSN) has started drilling at the Golden Boulder prospect of its wholly-owned Duketon Gold project in Western Australia.
The exploration firm expects to conduct 4,000m of drilling in the first phase of the program, aiming to test the potential scale and continuity of the system, which has previously returned intercepts, including one at four meters at 2.0 g/t Au.
Great Southern Mining says historical gold workings in the Golden Boulder region consist of over 50 shafts on three lines of strike over around 3km with reported gold production of 1,761 ounces of gold grading 28.6g/t Au.
It also says the drilling program marks the first of several reverse circulation (RC) and AC programs planned on multiple prospects within Duketon, including extension drilling to the advanced Southern Star prospect.
