Great Southern Fires up Rig for WA Gold Drilling Blitz
Great Southern Mining has kicked off a reverse‑circulation drilling campaign at its Mon Ami gold project near Laverton, marking the first 3,000 m of a planned 20,000 m program across its Western Australian assets. Mon Ami already hosts a JORC‑2012 resource of 55,500 ounces at 1.11 g/t gold, and the new holes will chase extensions northward and along the Barnicoat Shear structure. The drill rig will spend three weeks testing deeper and wider targets before moving to the company’s Duketon discoveries at Golden Boulder and Amy Clarke. The effort is fully funded after a $4.6 million equity placement, leaving the company with $5.64 million cash.
