Hamelin Gold, a mining company based in Perth, Western Australia, has uncovered promising indications of a potentially significant gold system at the Anderson Project in Western Australia. Recent soil sampling results have revealed a 3km-long corridor with gold anomalies that are believed to signify underlying gold mineralization in the bedrock.

The company’s aircore drilling efforts within this corridor have yielded encouraging results, including 1m at 4.6 grams per tonne and 3m at 2.1 grams per tonne of gold. These findings have led to the interpretation of a substantial gold corridor in the Wheatbelt region, an area in Western Australia that has not been extensively explored in the past.

Peter Bewick, the Managing Director of Hamelin Gold, emphasized the significance of the multi-element geochemical data analysis in identifying this major gold corridor. He highlighted that previous shallow drilling in the area had shown promising exploration results, but the full extent of these findings had not been realized until now.

Moving forward, Hamelin Gold plans to conduct bedrock drill testing along the newly identified gold corridor at the Anderson Project as part of its next phase of exploration activities. The company has also undertaken additional surface sampling within the project area and is in the process of preparing for further drilling, including discussions with landowners for access permissions.

In a bid to expand its exploration efforts, Hamelin Gold initiated a phase-two surface soil sampling program in January, targeting the identified 3km-long gold corridor at the Anderson Project. This initiative followed the successful application of ultrafine analytical technology across various targets in the company’s West Tanami Project, which yielded positive results.

The Anderson Project, where these developments are taking place, encompasses an area of gold anomalism initially identified through a regional sampling program conducted by Dominion Mining in the late 1990s. Hamelin Gold’s exploration activities in this region aim to capitalize on the untapped potential of the area’s gold resources.

Hamelin Gold’s focus on unlocking the gold exploration potential in Western Australia underscores the company’s commitment to leveraging its expertise and resources in uncovering valuable mineral deposits. As Hamelin Gold progresses with its exploration endeavors at the Anderson Project, the mining industry eagerly anticipates further developments that could potentially lead to significant discoveries in the region.
