About King Of The West

King of The West sits in the heart of the PVW’s Kalgoorlie Project, with assays from auger drilling having confirmed the gold prospectivity of the project, including “large Au anomalies”.

The drilling is the first systematic exploration over the northern third of the tenement, with coverage set to be expanded to the south before the commencement of AC drilling.

“with our recent successful auger drilling program…it provides a greater contiguous area to expand on these results”

Management comments

PVW Resources Executive Director George Bauk said: “These transactions add 50% to our current land holding in the Kalgoorlie region, and with our recent successful auger drilling program, which has identified significant anomalies, including a 1.2km wide highly anomalous zone, it provides a greater contiguous area to expand on these results”

“Results are eagerly awaited form the Black Flag air core program and from extensional auger drilling”

“Kalgoorlie is a world class gold province and we have a substantial land package located 30km from the centre of Kalgoorlie, surrounded by operating mines and mills, with outstanding results to follow up.”
