Great Southern Mining (GSN) has confirmed the grade and depth potential from the latest assays at the Southern Star gold deposit within its Duketon project in Western Australia.

The company conducted a reverse circulation (RC) drill program which targeted southern extensions to known mineralisation and aimed to confirm grade continuity within the main zones.

One of the best results hit 69 metres at 1.1 grams per tonne (g/t) gold from 39 metres, which included a higher grade core of 10 metres at 3.5 g/t gold and two metres at 12 g/t gold.

GSN said the results support the potential for a resource development opportunity.

Executive Chairman John Terpu said there is more than five kilometres of the strike to test, which could unveil further opportunities.

“The results from our latest drilling program reinforce what is shaping up as a very sizeable gold deposit,” he said.

“The more drilling we do, the more confident we are of this becoming a deposit of substantial size and scale.”

The company is now planning to follow up on high-priority drill targets and conduct multielement analysis.

Shares were trading steady at 4.3 cents at 2:10 pm AEST.
