Great Southern Mining has started a fully funded 15,000-metre drilling program aimed at expanding its Golden Boulder gold discovery in Western Australia’s Duketon district. The company is focused on a gold system estimated at about 3.5 kilometres, and the campaign is described by multiple outlets as a “drill assault” to extend the current understanding of the deposit.

Reporting across the sources says the drilling is structured around results expected from an intermediate stage. In particular, assays for the Mon Ami prospect are expected before the company proceeds with the next planned phase described as the Amy Clarke drilling. The coverage also refers to the timing of these steps, indicating that the drill program’s sequencing depends on the assay results.

Overall, all sources agree that the program is both underway and fully funded, and that its purpose is growth drilling to build on the existing Golden Boulder discovery within the Duketon area.
