Latitude 66 Ltd. has released results from a drill program at the Tin Dog prospect, revealing that it has uncovered two newly mineralised defined lodes.
The latest assay results from the first 20 holes at the prospect, located at the Laverton gold project in Western Australia, have defined a significant mineralised structural corridor, marked by the discovery of The Don and Wilpro lodes.
Both newly identified zones extend over 500 metres in strike length and remain open along strike and at depth, suggesting substantial room for resource growth.
The drilling campaign delivered several standout high-grade intercepts, including a notable eight metres at 3 grams per tonne (g/t) gold from 58 metres, which featured a richer zone of five metres at 4.5 g/t Au. Other significant results included a shallow eight metres at 1.3 g/t Au from surface and a deeper intercept of 15 metres at 1.6g/t Au.
Most importantly for the project’s future, the drilling has validated a major reinterpretation of the local geology. Geologists have confirmed that gold mineralisation is primarily controlled by NW–SE trending shear zones linked to the regional Hornet–Stewart shear system.
Previously, exploration had focused on opposing NE–SW structures, which are now understood to be merely secondary cross-links. This means the primary mineralised trend remains relatively unexplored, opening the door for further discoveries across the tenement package.
Latitude 66 Managing Director Grant Coyle said: “The identification of these mineralised structures materially expands the prospective footprint of the broader Laverton Gold Project, with multiple parallel NW–SE trends identified across the tenement package that remain largely untested.
“With the system wide open and assays pending for the remaining 22 drill holes in the Phase 2 program, including Red Dog results, we see strong potential for continued discovery and resource growth.”
The company remains well-funded to continue its aggressive exploration strategy. Latitude 66 plans to rapidly advance the Laverton project towards mineral resources definition and development through the interpretation of assay results from the Red Dog prospect and progress permitting through the Red Dog and Tin Dog prospects.
