Gateway Mining begins a gold exploration campaign in Western Australia’s Gascoyne region with a soil sampling program. Multiple outlets report the company is undertaking 2,400 soil samples as part of its search for potential mineralisation along geological structures it considers to be similar to those associated with Benz Mining’s nearby tier-1 Glenburgh gold discovery. The reporting describes the effort as an attempt to find a possible “repeat” of the gold system identified by Benz, using early-stage geochemical sampling to guide subsequent exploration. All sources agree that the program is focused around the area near Benz’s discovery, and that the sampling work is the first step in Gateway’s broader hunt for additional gold prospects. No sources provide details on expected results, timelines beyond the start of the campaign, or additional exploration stages at this point.
