Gateway Mining Ltd (ASX:GML) Identifies Target Opportunities at Barrelmaker Project
Exploration Opportunities Identified
Gateway Mining Limited (ASX: GML) has confirmed the identification of multiple priority targets at its Barrelmaker Gold Project after a thorough data review and exploration targeting process. The project, located in the Sandstone region of Western Australia, spans 488 square kilometres and presents significant exploration potential due to its extensive strike extent and historical gold endowment.
The recent analysis revealed at least 12 targets that require further exploration, primarily due to prior drilling being deemed sub-optimal. The upcoming work programs are set to include in-fill airborne magnetics surveys, geochemical sampling, and an air-core drilling program scheduled to commence in early 2025.
Management Comments
Executive Chairman Peter Langworthy remarked, “We see the Barrelmaker Gold Project as an area that has all the hallmarks of being a well-endowed gold system.” He emphasised the project’s significant structural controls and past exploration’s marginal effectiveness. Langworthy expressed optimism about the potential of the Gum Creek Greenstone Belt, indicating a strategic focus on systematic exploration across identified targets to maximise shareholder value.
Next Steps in Exploration
The planned exploration initiatives for 2025 aim to perform detailed field assessments, soil sampling, and airborne magnetic surveying over priority zones, particularly at the Youno Fault. As Gateway Mining moves into the new year, the company remains in a strong financial position to execute its growth strategy across the Barrelmaker Gold Project.
