2009
Greatland Gold has three gold projects in Tasmania, consisting of the Firetower project in the north with an initial inferred JORC-compliant resource of 90,000 oz of gold, where surface sampling has yielded encouraging results and test drilling is currently in progress; the Warrentinna, Forester and Waterhouse field complex, first mined early last century and which has yielded a substantial amount of high grade gold at surface but where a current drilling programme has been delayed due to heavy rainfall; and lastly the East Lisle project where the Company will seek to determine the bedrock source of the 250,000 oz of gold reputedly produced in the past from alluvial workings in the area. In addition the Company has two gold projects in Western Australia, the 200 sq km Lackman Rock site, and its latest acquisition, the Ernest Giles project comprising two unexplored contiguous tenements covering a 686 sq km area in a remote desert region. The main focus of the Company until now has been on Firetower, and deciding whether to mine an existing resource of 50,000 oz or whether to establish first a larger resource and then to build its own mine. Greatland’s aim to become a stand-alone producer remains on course but will require the raising of significant extra capital to bring Firetower into production.

2008
Greatland Gold has gold projects covering a total area of some 300 sq km in Tasmania, consisting of the Firetower project in the North with an initial inferred JORC-compliant resource of 90,000 oz of gold and three historic gold fields, Warrentinna, Forrester and Waterhouse, which were mined some 100 years ago and had produced a substantial amount of high grade gold at surface. In addition to these Tasmanian interests, all 100% owned, the company has the 40 km long Lackman Rock site in Western Australia where gold and nickel sulphide have been ear-marked as targets for future exploration drilling. The main focus of the company until now has been on Firetower, and deciding whether to mine an existing resource of 50,000 oz or whether to establish first a larger resource and then to build its own mine; only 400 metres of its suggested 6 kilometre mineralisation have so far been investigated. Meanwhile while rock chip sampling at Warrentinna had yielded encouraging results, subsequent drilling results rather disappointed the market. Greatland’s aim to become a stand-alone producer nonetheless remains on course but will require the raising of significant extra capital to bring Firetower into production.

2007
Greatland Gold has gold projects covering a total area of some 300 sq km in Tasmania, consisting of the Firetower project in the north with an initial inferred JORC-compliant resource of 90,000 oz. of gold, and three historic gold fields, Warrentinna, Forrester and Waterhouse, which were mined some 100 years ago and had produced a substantial amount of high grade gold at surface. In addition to these Tasmanian interests, the company has the Lackman Rock project in Western Australia where gold and nickel sulphide have already been ear-marked as targets for future exploration drilling. The main focus of the company until now has been on Firetower, and on deciding whether to mine an existing resource of some 50,000 oz, or whether to establish first a larger resource and then to build its own mine. However recent rock chip sampling at Warrentinna has also yielded very encouraging results, and calls for further exploration effort to be undertaken on seeking new high-grade shoots beneath the historic workings and in un-mined quartz-lodes. The future therefore holds useful promise.
