Palmetto project is located within the Walker Lane Gold Belt, a terrain that hosts multiple precious metal deposits.

Three different styles of gold mineralisation have been identified on the property, which are placer gold, vein/free gold, and disseminated gold.

The objective of this drilling campaign is to confirm and increase existing mineralised zones at the Palmetto Project that will enable the ML Gold to produce the first ever resource estimate on the property.

"We remain focused on building real ounces in one of the world’s top mining districts."

ML Gold chairman Andrew Bowering said: “In today’s fast-moving markets, ML Gold is moving quickly, implementing a thorough QA/QC and geotechnical programme in tandem with drilling enabling a smooth transition into a resource estimate.
