- Final assays from phase two RC drilling campaign received
- Wide and consistent gold mineralisation returned from Tin Dog and Red Dog
- Mineralisation at Don Lode now defined over 500m of strike
- Broad and extensively mineralised zones continue to be intersected at Tin Dog
Latitude 66 (ASX: LAT) has received promising final gold assay results from the phase two RC drilling at the Tin Dog and Red Dog prospects at the Laverton gold project in WA.

Results from the final 22 holes from the 42-hole program have now been received, comprising 20 holes from Red Dog and two holes from Tin Dog. Results from Tin Dog continue to support the scale and continuity of gold mineralisation at the newly discovered Don Lode.
All assay results from drilling completed by Latitude 66 since entering into the Laverton gold project option agreement in November 2025 have now been received.
MD, Grant Coyle, said the company has commenced integration of the full dataset into a maiden mineral resource estimate (MRE) for Tin Dog and expansion of the current Red Dog MRE, targeted for completion during Q3 CY2026.
“These final results continue to demonstrate the consistency, scale and continuity of mineralisation at Tin Dog, strengthening our confidence to define a potential maiden mineral resource during Q3 this year,” he said.
“Importantly, drilling continues to validate the broader intrusive-hosted and structurally controlled nature of mineralisation at Tin Dog, with several wider intersections occurring away from intrusive margins and supporting the interpretation of a potentially larger mineralised intrusive system at depth.
“The Don continues to grow in scale with mineralisation now defined over substantial strike and vertical extents, while remaining open down dip and along strike.
“As we compile the complete drilling dataset into the upcoming Resource modelling process, we are also identifying additional parallel structures and intrusive-hosted targets that provide significant longer-term growth potential across the broader Tin Dog system.”
Mr Coyle said the latest Tin Dog results continue to support the company’s interpretation of a structurally controlled intrusive-hosted gold system associated with NW–SE trending shear corridors.
Significant Tin Dog intersections from the final results include 20m at 1.2 grams per tonne (g/t) rom 206m including 6.0m at 2.2 g/t from 208m and 7.0m at 1.3 g/t from 236m.
The company is planning follow-up drilling targeting down-dip extensions, parallel lodes and structurally complex intrusive positions identified through recent drilling interpretation.
LAT is up 1.92% to 13.3¢. Mkt cap $23.62M.
