Latitude Consolidated (LCD) has begun the phase two exploration program at its Murchison Gold Project in Western Australia.
The 343 square kilometre Murchison Project lies in the highly prospective Murchison Goldfields and has a 1.1 million ounce gold mineral resource.
Reverse circulation (RC) drilling will begin at Turnberry South with a focus on infilling and testing the thick high-grade south plunging shoot.
Once this wraps up, drilling will be undertaken at Turnberry Central where the high-grade mineralisation remains open at depth.
Samples will be sent to the laboratory in Perth on a weekly basis with results expected to begin to be received from mid-November.
Latitude has also engaged a diamond drilling provider to mobilise to site in the December quarter and drill diamond tails for several deeper targets at Turnberry Central.
Furthermore, aircore drilling is scheduled to begin at St Anne’s in the December quarter once drilling at Turnberry concludes.
The company will follow up on a number of broad high-grade drill results where anomalous gold has been identified over 500 metres of strike.
CEO Tim Davidson said the company was happy to begin the second phase of exploration at Murchison.
“We are excited to be getting our second exploration field program underway at the Murchison Gold Project,” Mr Davidson said.
“Our upcoming phase two exploration program is a very targeted brownfield drilling program focussing on the near mine high-grade mineralisation which is important for both growth and confidence in the resources as the company advances the project to development ready.”
Latitude closed down 2.27 per cent at 4.3 cents.
