Drilling begins at Mid West gold prospect
Doray Minerals is wasting little time in getting a maiden drilling program underway at its Meekatharra North gold project, 45km north of Meekatharra in Western Australia.
The company listed on the Australian Securities Exchange early last month after raising $4.6 million to explore and develop land in the Murchison region of WA and the Central Gawler Gold Province of South Australia.
Doray’s initial 2,000m RC drilling program at Meekatharra North is to confirm the grade and continuity of high-grade gold mineralisation at the Andy Well prospect, immediately adjacent to the Great Northern Highway.
Doray managing director Allan Kelly said he was excited to finally have the opportunity to test the prospective targets.
“Andy Well contains a number of historic high-grade drill intersections discovered by previous explorers in the mid-late 1990’s, but the prospect has seen no systematic gold exploration since this time,” said Mr Kelly.
“When WMC sold the projects in 1997, they had recognised indications of something potentially very significant at Andy Well, but no work has been completed since then.”
