Gateway Mining Expands Haflinger Gold Discovery in WA's Yandal Belt with Promising Drill Results
  • Further high-grade intersections at Haflinger reinforce the expansion of the mineralised corridor, supporting the view of a broad, coherent system rather than a single spike.

  • Nearby holes show notable intervals including 20 meters at 1.4 g/t from 64 meters, with a 4-meter subinterval at 6.0 g/t, and 12 meters at 1.0 g/t from 140 meters, while the deeper portion of the structure remains largely untested.

  • Aircore results include a major intercept of 64 meters at 1.2 g/t from 56 meters, including 24 meters at 2.4 g/t, located about 100 meters north of the original discovery hole.

  • Gateway plans ongoing systematic testing and expansion of the Haflinger target corridors as part of advancing the Yandal project.

  • Southward results mirror these findings, indicating 20 meters at 1.4 g/t from 64 meters, including 4 meters at 6.0 g/t, and 12 meters at 1.0 g/t from 140 meters, with significant deeper potential yet to be explored.

  • Current drilling traces high-grade mineralisation over at least 500 meters of strike along the Celia Shear Zone, and the system remains open to the south as rocks become more deformed and silica-altered.

  • Overall, the results are interpreted as evidence of a coherent, expanding high-grade, shear-hosted gold system rather than a single spike.

  • Gateway is using two rigs to test key corridors, with aircore work underway targeting the Great Western top-priority zone ahead of a maiden RC campaign across this surface target.

  • Plans are in place to shift focus to the Great Western target in the coming weeks, as a second RC rig prepares to join for maiden drilling across the surface-area target.

  • The Celia Shear Zone shows a wide, open-ended system with increasing deformation and silica alteration toward the south, suggesting more high-grade potential ahead.

  • Assays from the southern extension of Haflinger are due next quarter to define the full extent of the structure and assess additional mineralisation potential.

  • Gateway Mining is thickening and extending the Haflinger gold discovery in Western Australia’s Yandal belt, with new drill results confirming a widening, coherent mineralised corridor along the Celia Shear Zone.
