Westar (WSR) has kick-started a maiden 5000-metre reverse circulation (RC) drilling programme at the Gidgee South Project in Western Australia.

The Gidgee South Project is located in the Gum Creek Greenstone Belt 55 kilometres northeast of Sandstone in Western Australia and is 100 per cent-owned by Westar.

The campaign is designed to test multiple high-priority targets within a broad gold mineralisation corridor defined by historical gold workings, elevated surface soil geochemistry and mineralised structures from geophysical interpretations.

Westar affirms these targets are undrilled and have the potential for a maiden gold discovery.

Following completion of drilling at Gidgee South, Westar has laid plans to immediately commence its maiden reverse circulation drill programme at the Winjangoo Gold Project.

Westar’s Managing Director Jarl Jupp said the programme represents the first modern drill testing of the project.

“Following on from detailed geophysical interpretations and also the acquisitions of Carbine Bore and the Birrigrin Mining Centre, the commencement of RC drilling represents a significant commitment to Westar’s Sandstone Projects,” he commented.

Westar Resources shares closed today’s session down 2.27 per cent to trade at 21.5 cents.
