Dissemination of a Regulatory Announcement that contains inside information according to REGULATION (EU) No 596/2014 (MAR).
Greatland Gold plc
("Greatland" or "the Company")
Half-yearly report - six months ended 31 December 2016
Chief Executive's statement
Today, Greatland Gold plc ("Greatland" or the "Company"), the mineral exploration and development company, announces its results for the six months to 31 December 2016.
Summary
During the six month period, the Company accelerated exploration across all of its projects and is pleased to report that these efforts were successful. More specifically, a wide-spaced drilling campaign at Ernest Giles undertaken in late 2016 identified two large zones of gold mineralisation, including a Western zone up to six kilometres in length. At the Bromus project, downhole electromagnetic surveys successfully identified four high priority targets for massive sulphide mineralisation.
In addition to this exploration success, the Company also entered into an agreement to acquire 100% of the Havieron gold project. The Havieron gold project covers 135 square kilometres and is located approximately 40 kilometres east of Newcrest's Telfer gold mine. Limited historical exporation by Newcrest demonstrated high grade gold and copper mineralisation with peak values of 15 g/t Au and 2.5% Cu.
The Company's strategy remains to maximise shareholders' risk adjusted return on capital by advancing exploration across the Company's core portfolio of existing exploration projects while seeking to acquire new opportunities in the precious and base metal sectors.
Financials
Greatland reported an operating loss for the six months to 31 December 2016 of GBP608,421 (six months to December 2015: loss of GBP227,690). This translated into a loss per share for the period of 0.04p (six months to 31 December 2015: (0.03p)).
Operations
During the first six months of our financial year, general market conditions continued to improve. The Company believes that accelerating exploration across its portfolio of projects and the acquisition of new projects remains the best path to maximising shareholder value in the short to medium terms as the long anticipated recovery in the commodity sector continues.
During the first half of the financial year, the Company engaged in active exploration across all its exploration projects.
At Ernest Giles, the Company embarked on an ambitious wide-spaced drilling campaign at the Meadows gold target. Subsequent to the end of the half year, the Company was pleased to report that this drilling campaign had successfully identified two large zones of gold mineralisation, a Western zone of 6km in length and 1.5km in width, and an Eastern zone of 2km by 1km. The majority of drill holes intersected mineralisation, including several that intersected wide zones (up to 60 metres) of anomalous gold mineralisation. We were particularly pleased by the extent of the mineralisation identified (up to 6 kilometres in length), the wide zones of mineralisation (gold anomalous zones over tens of metres) and the relative proximity to surface of the mineralisation.
At the Bromus project, Greatland completed a limited RC drilling campaign that identified substantial sulphide mineralisation. Following the drilling campaign, the Company conducted downhole electromagnetic surveys ("DHEM") at the four drill sites. These DHEM surveys successfully identified several highly conductive targets that were not intersected during drilling. These targets are relatively shallow, well constrained by modelling and are close to existing drill holes.
At the Warrentinna project in Tasmania, Greatland completed a RC drilling campaign that successfully extended the continuity of gold mineralisation at the Derby North prospect. All holes encountered gold mineralisation, with best results including 1m at 4.7 g/t Au from 22m within a broader intersection of 5m at 2.4g/t Au from 21m. These results highlight the potential to extend the current zone of gold mineralisation, particularly to the north and east.
Finally, in September 2016, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire 100% of the Havieron project. The Havieron project consists of 135 square kilometres of underexplored terrain in the Paterson Region in Western Australia and includes an IOCG target with demonstrated gold and copper mineralisation. Greatland is encouraged by increased interest in the Paterson region from major mining companies.
Outlook
Since the end of the first half of the financial year, the Company has announced a new drilling programme at the Bromus project and has broadened the scope of its exploration work at its Ernest Giles project. Subsequent to the end of the first half, the Company completed a placement and subscription that raised gross funds of GBP350,000. We look forward to what we hope will be continued exploration success in 2017 as we continue to assess new opportunities that we can add to our portfolio of exciting projects.
