Maritana Minerals (ASX:MRT) is drilling for new gold just 400m from its planned Black Swan Processing Hub in Western Australia.
Managing Director and CEO Grant Haywood explains why the early-stage Wilsons gold prospect could become particularly valuable if drilling proves up mineralisation so close to the plant, while early works continue to convert Black Swan to gold processing.
Maritana’s broader strategy centres on a hub-and-spoke model feeding multiple gold assets into Black Swan.
- Wilsons drilling: A 4,000m program is testing the gold anomaly
- Location advantage: The prospect sits around 400m from Black Swan
- Early evidence: Surface rock chips and historical drilling support the target
- Black Swan works: Long-lead equipment and infrastructure work are progressing
- Production pathway: First gold remains targeted for the second half of 2027
Wilsons is in its early stage.
Its postcode is already doing some heavy lifting.
