Latitude 66 (ASX:LAT) has identified “wide and consistent” gold mineralisation across its Tin Dog and Red Dog prospects within the Laverton Gold Project in Western Australia.
The company has returned its final batch of assays from the phase two reverse circulation drilling campaign across the project.
Highlights from the Tin Dog and Red Dog prospects include 20m @ 1.2 grams per tonne gold from 206m, including 6m @ 2.2g/t gold from 208m; 7m @ 1.3g/t gold from 236m; 6m @ 1.1g/t gold from 34m; and 3m @ 2.9g/t gold from 114m.
The campaign also defined mineralisation at the Don lode over a strike length of more than 500m and a down-dip extent of 400m, with the system remaining open.
Latitude 66 says the Tin Dog prospect hosts down-dip growth potential due to several wider intersections occurring in the syenite intrusive, along with further growth potential from the identification of parallel mineralised structures.
The company is targeting a maiden resource estimate for the project in Q3 2026 from this campaign.
Latitude 66 is continuing workstreams at Red Dog to advance development pathways.
Managing Director Grant Coyle says the remainder of drill results demonstrate the “consistency, scale, and continuity of mineralisation at Tin Dog”.
“Importantly, drilling continues to validate the broader intrusive-hosted and structurally controlled nature of mineralisation at Tin Dog, with several wider intersections occurring away from intrusive margins and supporting the interpretation of a potentially larger mineralised intrusive system at depth,” Coyle says.
“The Don continues to grow in scale with mineralisation now defined over substantial strike and vertical extents, while remaining open down dip and along strike.
“As we compile the complete drilling dataset into the upcoming resource modelling process, we are also identifying additional parallel structures and intrusive-hosted targets that provide significant longer-term growth potential across the broader Tin Dog system.”
Latitude 66 is a diversified gold and critical minerals explorer focused on discoveries in mining jurisdictions in Finland and Australia.
