Great Southern Mining has started a fully funded 15,000-metre [1] drilling campaign at its Golden Boulder discovery in Western Australia.
This initiative marks a critical transition for the company as it seeks to define the scale of its gold resources. By expanding the known boundaries of the discovery, the company aims to move the project closer to active production.
The drilling program targets the Golden Boulder discovery, which currently spans 3.5 km [1]. The company intends to use the 15,000-metre [1] campaign to grow the resource and determine the viability of the site for future mining operations.
Operational timelines for the project include specific sequencing for assay results. The company expects to receive Mon Ami assays before the commencement of drilling at the Amy Clarke site [1]. This sequence allows the company to use initial data to inform the placement and depth of subsequent drills.
Western Australia remains a primary hub for gold exploration, and the scale of the Golden Boulder site represents a significant target for the company. The fully funded nature of the campaign ensures that the 15,000-metre [1] program can proceed without immediate capital raises or funding delays.
The company is focusing its efforts on expanding the 3.5-km [1] footprint to establish a more comprehensive geological model of the area. This process is essential for estimating the total gold tonnage, and grade available at the site.

The scale of this drilling campaign suggests that Great Southern Mining is moving from the initial discovery phase into a more aggressive resource-definition phase. By targeting a 3.5-km discovery area with 15,000 metres of drilling, the company is attempting to prove the continuity of the gold vein, which is a prerequisite for calculating the economic feasibility of a full-scale mine.
