About Greatland
Greatland is a mining development and exploration company
focused primarily on precious and base metals.
The Company's flagship asset is the world-class Havieron
gold-copper project in the Paterson region of Western Australia,
discovered by Greatland and presently under development in joint
venture with ASX gold major, Newcrest Mining Limited.
Havieron is located approximately 45km east of Newcrest's
existing Telfer gold mine. The box cut and decline to develop the
Havieron orebody commenced in February 2021. Development continues
to accelerate with record advancement achieved in the December 2022
quarter. Havieron is intended to leverage the existing Telfer
infrastructure and processing plant. Access to Telfer de-risks the
development, reduces capital expenditure and lowers the project's
carbon footprint.
Greatland has a proven track record of discovery and exploration
success and is pursuing the next generation of tier-one mineral
deposits by applying advanced exploration techniques in
under-explored regions. Greatland has a number of exploration
projects across Western Australia and in parallel to the
development of Havieron is focused on becoming a multi-commodity
miner of significant scale.
