Mantle Minerals (ASX:MTL) has recommenced gold exploration at Roberts Hill, part of the company's Mallina gold project, immediately north of De Grey Mining's (ASX:DEG) discovery of 10.6M ounces of gold at the Hemi and Satellite deposits in WA.
Mantle Minerals says a geochemical review of 2021 aircore drilling has been completed, and a follow-up soil sampling survey is underway to provide proof of concept and scalability of exploration.
It also says results from the soil survey are expected in May with the aim of highlighting potential mineralisation and extending future surveys to define drill targets that could be drilled later this year.
Mantle Minerals' Executive Chairman, Nick Poll says: "We hope that this orientation survey for soil geochemistry will provide us with a proof of concept that helps us to see through 5m of concealing sediments."
