PLC Resources has begun an airborne geophysical survey over its Abbotts North gold project in Western Australia while it awaits the results of initial drilling at its Rochefort prospect. Multiple outlets report that the company is using the survey to help identify or refine new gold targets based on subsurface characteristics.
The reporting is consistent that the geophysical work is being conducted by aircraft and covers the Abbotts North area, described as a gold project where the company is seeking further exploration opportunities. One outlet additionally characterises the survey as government-backed, indicating support for the program.
Separately, the company is expecting “maiden” drilling results from Rochefort, which are not yet available at the time of the reports. The combination of new airborne data at Abbotts North and upcoming drill results from Rochefort is presented as part of the company’s broader exploration efforts to improve its targeting and support future drilling decisions. The timing of the news reflects the company’s work in parallel across its projects.
