Latitude 66 has completed its Phase 2 reverse circulation (RC) drilling programme at the Laverton Gold Project located in Western Australia (WA).
This phase included 38 holes, covering a total of 3,914m, and aimed to expand upon the results achieved in January 2026 during the Phase 1 of drilling.

The focus of the drilling activities was on two key prospects, including Red Dog and Tin Dog.
At Red Dog, the efforts concentrated on identifying extensions to existing lodes both along strike and down-dip in order to enhance geological and structural understanding.
This included step-out drilling targeting north-east extensions of the current mineral resource estimate (MRE), which stands at 231,000t with a grade of 1.82 grams per tonne (g/t) gold for a total of 13,500oz.
In contrast, the Tin Dog prospect saw drilling aimed at defining an emerging structural geological framework linked to north-west (NW)–south-east (SE) trending shear zones.
Additional holes sought to evaluate potential parallel structures within the broader intrusive-hosted system.
Throughout the programme, samples were regularly dispatched to a geochemical laboratory situated in Kalgoorlie.
The company expects to receive assay results within the forthcoming weeks.
Latitude 66 managing director Grant Coyle said: “At Red Dog, the programme targeted extensions to the existing Resource, with step-out drilling aimed at growing the known mineralisation along strike and evaluating potential repetitions at depth.
“At Tin Dog, we have focused on improving geological and structural confidence within the newly defined shear-hosted system, while also testing the potential for additional parallel lodes that could materially expand the mineralised footprint.
“We now look forward to receiving assay results over the coming weeks, which will guide the next phase of drilling and continue to support our strategy of rapidly growing the resource base across both prospects.”
