Highlights:
- The Walhalla gold project, located in Victoria, Australia, has a prolific history of gold production, with total historic production reported of 1,510,309 ounces at a grade of 33.59 grams per tonne (g/t) gold (GeoVic, 2020) (2).
- The Walhalla gold project is a district-scale 1,230-square-kilometre land package with both advanced stage and greenfield targets.
- Cohens Reef, with historical production reported of 1.48 million ounces at a grade of 32.2 g/t gold, was the major focus of past exploration and development. Historic drilling at depth suggests multiple shoots, extensions and repeat structures occur near old mine developments. Additional to targeting repeat structures in the Cohens Reef area, other high-priority targets include the greenfield Pinnacles target, where notable soil geochemistry has highlighted a 400-metre-by-1,100-metre gold mineralized aplitic dike containing disseminated sulphides, outcropping at surface.
- Pinnacles target is fully permitted, accessible and ready for immediate drilling.
