Greatland Gold said Tuesday that it has entered a farm-in and joint-venture agreement with Rio Tinto Exploration to accelerate exploration across a tenure near Greatland's Havieron gold-copper project.

The mining company said the tenure--located within the Paterson Province of Western Australia--is highly prospective, and there has been historical delineation of gold in rock chips and copper intersected with strong correlation to a Telfer style deposit.

Initial minimum commitment is 1.1 million Australian dollars ($719,180) as well as 2,000 meters of drilling before 2024 year-end.

Greatland is entitled to earn up to a 75% joint-venture interest in the project tenements under the farm-in arrangement.

Drilling will begin during 2023, the company said.
