Great Western launches aggressive drilling at Oval copper-gold target in WA

Great Western Exploration Limited ( (AU:GTE) ) has shared an announcement.

Great Western Exploration has commenced diamond drilling at its Oval Copper-Gold Target in the Yerrida North Project, testing a strong gravity anomaly coincident with a modelled Volcanic Hosted Massive Sulphide horizon interpreted as the core of a potentially large copper-gold system. Located near Sandfire Resources’ DeGrussa and Monty deposits, the 750m hole follows earlier pathfinder assays that showed a robust VHMS signature, reinforcing the geological analogy to nearby high-grade operations.

The Oval program marks the start of an aggressive six-month campaign in which Great Western plans to drill nine copper-gold targets across Oval, Diorama, the Juggernaut Project and Baroo, while also advancing additional regional prospects in the Yerrida Basin toward drill-ready status. Backed by a $4.3 million cash balance at the end of March 2026, the company is stepping up its exploration effort in a proven VHMS district, potentially enhancing its resource pipeline and strategic position in the WA copper-gold sector if the targets yield significant mineralisation.
