Exploration Update - Firetower Drill Results
Broad widths of gold mineralisation intersected at Firetower
prospect
Greatland Gold plc (AIM:GGP), the precious and base metals
exploration and development company, is pleased to announce that
initial results from diamond drilling at the Company's 100% owned
Firetower project in Tasmania, Australia confirm the presence of
broad widths of gold mineralisation.
The current systematic, grid-based drilling programme comprises
approximately 15 diamond holes with depths from 50m to 250m, for a
total of approximately 2,000 metres. The programme is designed to
test the main zone of mineralisation at Firetower and additional
holes will test a previously undrilled area at Firetower East where
new targets were identified by last year's 3D Induced Polarisation
("3DIP") survey.
Analytical results have been received for the first six diamond
holes at Firetower and are reported in this announcement.
Highlights of Drill Results
-- Results received to date confirm the presence of broad widths
of gold mineralisation at the Firetower prospect.
-- Best initial results include:
o 54.5m at 1.36g/t Au from surface (0m) (2019FTD001),
including
-- 5m at 5.41g/t Au from 45m
o 29m at 0.78g/t Au from 78m (2019FTD003), including
-- 5m at 2.54g/t Au from 92m
o 5m at 8.72g/t Au from 81m (2019FTD004), including
-- 2m at 21.2g/t Au from 81m
o 27m at 0.46g/t Au from 43m (2019FTD005)
o 23m at 0.53g/t Au from 50m (2019FTD006)
-- Two drill holes (2019FTD001 and 2019FTD006) ended in or near
mineralisation and these holes may be extended in order to test for
additional mineralisation at depth.
-- Drilling activities are ongoing and further assay results are
awaited at Firetower as well as for drill holes designed to test
the previously undrilled target at Firetower East.
Gervaise Heddle, Chief Executive Officer, commented: "We are
pleased by the initial results from our ongoing drill campaign at
Firetower which confirm the presence of broad widths of gold
mineralisation. This is a promising start as these early results
highlight potential depth extensions and good continuity of
mineralisation between sections drilled to date. We look forward to
providing further updates over the coming weeks, including results
from drilling at the previously untested Firetower East
prospect."
In June 2019 Greatland commenced drilling at the Firetower
project with two key objectives: a) to systematically test strike
continuity and potential depth extensions of mineralisation at
Firetower as guided by 3DIP inversions; b) to test the 3DIP
chargeability response along strike at the Firetower East prospect,
in an area previously undrilled, and determine its spatial
relationship to mineralisation.
Overview of the Firetower Project
The Firetower project is located in central north Tasmania,
Australia, and covers an area of 62 square kilometres. The project
lies in the eastern parts of the highly mineralised Mt Read
volcanic rocks which host major polymetallic (zinc, lead, gold)
deposits such as Hellyer and Roseberry, and copper deposits such as
Mt Lyell, and the Henty gold mine which has produced over 1.25m oz
since 1996.
The 100% owned Firetower project includes the prospects of
Firetower, Firetower West, Firetower East and the strike extensions
of prospective stratigraphy. The Firetower prospect has significant
gold mineralisation from surface up to 30g/t while the mineralised
system at Firetower West shows copper to 1.34% and silver to
2.6g/t. Both prospects remain open along strike and at depth.
Gold mineralisation at Firetower was first located in the late
1970s but this was not followed up until the early 1990s with
reconnaissance drilling. More modern exploration by Greatland and
JV partners has included soil geochemistry, geophysics and diamond
drilling. Drilling to date has, in general, tested approximately
250m of strike at the main Firetower prospect.
The current diamond drilling programme is being carried out on
systematic north-south traverses across the main mineralised zone
at the Firetower prospect. A primary objective is to determine
strike continuity and depth extensions as guided by 3DIP
inversions. The programme comprises approximately 15 holes with
depths from 50m to 250m. Holes are angled at 60 degrees to provide
coverage across each section and it is expected that approximately
2,000m of drilling will be completed. Spacing between drill
traverses is a nominal 25m.
The main zone of gold mineralisation at the Firetower prospect
is spatially associated with an IP chargeability response. The IP
response will also be tested along strike and at depth during the
current programme at the Firetower East prospect which is located
approximately 500m east of the Firetower prospect. The IP response
at Firetower, as established by both 3DIP (2018) and gradient array
(2002) surveys, extends across approximately 3km of strike.
Analytical results have been received for the first six diamond
holes at Firetower and are reported in this announcement. Results
show broad widths of gold mineralisation at the Firetower prospect
including 54.5m at 1.36g/t Au from 0m in 2019FTD001, 29m at 0.78g/t
Au from 78m in hole 2019FTD003, 5m at 8.72g/t Au from 81m in hole
2019FTD004, and 23m at 0.53g/t Au from 50m in hole FTD006.
Mineralisation is hosted in a package of volcanic and
sedimentary rocks with an apparent structural control. Peak
intercept to date is 2m at 21.2g/t Au from 81m in hole 2019FTD004.
Results suggest that there is good continuity of mineralisation
between sections drilled to date, and highlight potential depth
extensions to the known mineralisation. It is apparent that
mineralisation is present at, or near to, the bottom of holes
2019FTD001 and 2019FTD006 and as such these holes may be extended
in order to test for additional mineralisation at depth. Drill hole
collar details and tabulated intercepts are presented in Appendix I
and additional drill hole information is presented in Appendix
II.
Ground conditions have remained good since programme
commencement. Drilling activities are ongoing and are being
supported by continuous XRF core scanning. Further analytical
results will be reported in the coming weeks.

Notes for Editors:
Greatland Gold plc is a London-listed (LON:GGP) natural resource
exploration and development company with a current focus on gold,
copper and nickel exploration projects.
The Company has six main projects; four situated in Western
Australia and two in Tasmania. All projects are 100% owned by
Greatland.
In March 2019, Greatland signed a Farm-in Agreement with
Newcrest Operations Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Newcrest
Mining Limited (ASX:NCM), to explore and develop Greatland's
Havieron gold-copper project in the Paterson region of Western
Australia. Newcrest has the right to acquire up to a 70% interest
in a 12-block area within E45/4701 that covers the Havieron target
by spending up to US$65m.
Greatland is seeking to identify large mineral deposits in areas
that have not been subject to extensive exploration previously. It
is widely recognised that the next generation of large deposits
will come from such under-explored areas and Greatland is applying
advanced exploration techniques to investigate a number of
carefully selected targets within its focused licence
portfolio.
The Company is also actively investigating a range of new
opportunities in precious and strategic metals and will update the
market on new opportunities as and when appropriate.
