The drilling aims to test a 750m-deep hole into a gravity anomaly and a modelled VHMS horizon, indicating a potentially large copper-gold mineralisation system. The company plans to follow this with drilling of six additional targets. The current analyst rating for AU:GTE stock is a Hold with a price target of A$0.02."

Great Western Exploration Limited ( (AU:GTE) ) has provided an announcement.

Great Western Exploration has secured all permits and engaged a contractor to begin diamond drilling in March 2026 at its Oval Copper-Gold Targets within the Yerrida North Project in Western Australia, aiming to test a 750m-deep hole into a coincident gravity anomaly and modelled VHMS horizon interpreted as the core of a potentially large copper-gold mineralisation system. Ground gravity and geological modelling indicate that the Oval and Oval South targets are part of a single VHMS system analogous to Sandfire Resources’ nearby DeGrussa and Monty deposits, with the gravity high coinciding with a strongly mineralised siltstone horizon, and the company plans to follow this campaign with drilling of six additional Juggernaut copper-gold targets once access approvals are finalised, underscoring an aggressive exploration push in a highly prospective belt.

The most recent analyst rating on (AU:GTE) stock is a Hold with a A$0.02 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Great Western Exploration Limited stock, see the AU:GTE Stock Forecast page.
