Gateway Mining has commenced operations with a second reverse circulation drill at its Cowza gold discovery within the Yandal project in Western Australia, signaling an escalation of exploration efforts at the site [1]. The deployment marks what the company describes as a new phase in its exploration campaign, as Gateway Chief Executive Richard Pugh stated: "The mobilisation of the second rig represents Gateway entering a new phase of exploration" [1].
The expanded drilling program follows the company's recent confirmation of a 3.5-kilometre-long high-grade gold corridor at Cowza [1]. Significant assay results from this zone include a 4-metre interval grading 11.1 grams per tonne gold from 72 metres depth, an 8-metre intersection grading 3.1 grams per tonne from 76 metres, and a 4-metre section grading 3.3 grams per tonne from 80 metres [1]. The Yandal project, located 85 kilometres northeast of Wiluna, currently hosts a JORC resource of 8.17 million tonnes at 1.52 grams per tonne, totalling 400,400 ounces [1]. Gateway maintains a cash position exceeding AUD 21 million, comprising AUD 15.7 million in cash and AUD 5.6 million in liquid ASX-listed securities [1].
