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 approved takeover by Newmont
Corporation that is due to complete on 6 November 2023).

 

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 total development now exceeding
2,820m including over 2,030m of advance in the main access decline (as at 8
October 2023).  Subject to a positive feasibility study and Decision to Mine,
Havieron is intended to leverage the existing Telfer infrastructure and
processing plant.  Access to Telfer will de-risk the development and reduces
capital expenditure.

 

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.
