About Greatland

Greatland is a mining development and exploration company focused primarily on
precious and base metals.

 

The Company's flagship asset is the world-class Havieron gold-copper project
in the Paterson Province of Western Australia, discovered by Greatland and
presently under development in joint venture with ASX gold major, Newcrest
Mining Limited (which is the subject of an agreed takeover by Newmont
Corporation that is ongoing).

 

Havieron is located approximately 45km east of Newcrest's existing Telfer gold
mine. The box cut and decline to the Havieron orebody commenced in February
2021.  Significant progress continues with the exploration decline with total
development at over 2,600 metres in early August 2023.  Subject to a positive
feasibility study and Decision to Mine, Havieron may leverage the existing
Telfer infrastructure and processing plant.

 

Greatland has a proven track record of discovery and exploration success and
is pursuing the next generation of tier-one mineral deposits by applying
advanced exploration techniques in under-explored regions. Greatland has a
number of exploration projects across Western Australia and in parallel to the
development of Havieron is focused on becoming a multi-commodity miner of
significant scale.
