Gateway Mining Discovers Promising 15-Km Gold Corridor in Western Australia
March 9, 2026
Magnetic data reveal a complex structural setting with multiple folding phases and secondary structures, creating favorable traps for gold mineralisation.
In particular, a major fold hinge and accompanying structures suggest promising targets within the corridor.
Gateway plans immediate follow-up including project-wide soil sampling, detailed geological mapping, and rock-chip sampling to trace mineralised trends and identify drill-ready targets.
If soil sampling confirms the targeted trends, the company expects to accelerate drill targeting and move toward resource delineation.
The follow-up work aims to leverage Tropicana-style geological settings observed nearby to guide exploration.
Historical mapping and geochemical work indicate gold anomalism near the main trend, though much of the 15 km corridor remains largely untested.
Magnetic imagery also highlights additional secondary structural targets beyond the primary trend.
High-resolution airborne magnetics map a continuous structural corridor parallel to the Benz Mining Glenburgh deposit, which hosts significant gold resources and is actively drill-tested.
Gateway Mining has identified a new 15-kilometre gold exploration corridor at its Glenburgh South project in Western Australia’s Gascoyne region, signaling potential for a large-scale gold system.
The corridor aligns with a proven nearby gold system, enhancing exploration upside and the prospect of a Tropicana-style setting.
Hyperspectral analysis by EarthDaily shows elongate kaolinite-dominated alteration along the corridor, consistent with mineralising processes seen at nearby deposits.
These kaolinite-rich alteration signatures mirror patterns observed above the Benz deposit, supporting potential mineralisation along the corridor.
