GEO Exploration (AIM:GEO) has begun field and airborne work at the Gorge Project, advancing technical work aimed at converting historical surface anomalies into drillable targets.
The Gorge Project, Exploration Licence E08/3737 located about 110km west of Paraburdoo, covers 81km2, was acquired through 100%-owned Gorge Gold Pty and is considered prospective for orogenic- and Carlin-style gold with historical rock chips to 134g/t, soils to 233g/t and nugget recoveries across roughly 5km of strike.
Aerometrex completed the high-resolution LiDAR and aerial photography ahead of schedule, data GEO says will refine priority targets and support a maiden drilling campaign.
MAGSPEC Airborne Surveys has commenced the fixed-wing magnetic and radiometric programme to deliver litho-structural inputs for targeting and geochemical survey design.
A field crew is camped on site to validate historical rock-chip and drill locations, confirm historic workings and carry out detailed mapping alongside an orientation soil geochemical survey over known surface gold zones designed to refine survey methods for the ~5km strike test.
"I am very pleased that the Gorge Project is progressing ahead of schedule; the historical data reviewed to date is genuinely encouraging," Omar Ahmad, Chief Executive Officer, said.
The company said it will update the market as results from the airborne surveys, geochemistry and ground reconnaissance are received.
