The Havieron project is around 40km east of Newcrest's Telfer gold mine.

Based on historical drilling, gold and copper mineralisation targets were identified with peak values of 15g/t Au and 2.5% Cu. 

In order to establish drill targets, Greatland intends to begin a tightly spaced gravity survey over the Havieron target during the fourth quarter of this year.

The company is currently carrying out a review of new regional exploration data that covers both the Havieron and Paterson Range East projects.

Furthermore, the company has identified several targets within both the Havieron and Paterson Range East licence areas.
