DRILLING COMMENCED AT THE HIGH-GRADE COX’S FIND PROJECT
ASX: GSN
GREAT SOUTHERN MINING LIMITED | ABN 37 148 168 825
DRILL PROGRAM DETAILS
The RC drill rig is on site and has commenced drilling the initial phase of the 9000m drilling program, while the
diamond drill rig is expected to arrive on site within a week. The drilling program will be in two phases. Phase one
will consist of approximately 5000m of RC drilling and 500m of diamond core drilling focusing on delineating the
extent of the high-grade mineralisation previously announced (see ASX announcement dated 19 December 2019).
Phase two will consist of 4000m of RC drilling focusing on several of the near mine untested geological ‘look-alike’
targets. Between these phases a 3000m drill program will be undertaken at the Company’s Mon Ami Gold Project,
located 80km to the south and 12km from Laverton, Western Australia.
The RC drilling is designed to test the lateral extensions of the known mineralisation as well as testing the down
plunge extension on the high-grade quartz lode that was historically mined (Figure 1). The diamond drilling is
planned to target the recently discovered unmined high-grade panel of mineralisation intersected between level
five (132mbgl) and level six (158mbgl) to gain an understanding of the structural controls of the high-grade
mineralisation (Figure 1). No diamond core drilling has been undertaken in the main lode of Cox’s Find and this will
be the maiden drill program of this nature. GSN believes this program will provide invaluable insights into the
structural setting of the high-grade mineralisation and will aid in the refinement of the geological model and assist
in future drill programs at Cox’s Find and for future untested targets.
Phase two will focus on several of the new near mine exploration targets that provide untested geological ‘lookalike’ analogues for the Cox’s Find orebody that were identified and now field verified (Figure 2). Ranking of the
targets is underway and planning of a reconnaissance exploration drill program is in progress as all three targets
warrant follow up work.

BACKGROUND
The Cox’s Find Gold Project (Cox’s Find) is a shear hosted Archaean orogenic gold deposit located in the Duketon
Greenstone Belt in the Laverton district of WA, located along strike from, and within 12kms of, Regis’ multi-millionounce Garden Well. The mine was operated by Western Mining Corporation (WMC) for a short period between 1937
and 1942 producing approximately 77,000 ounces of gold at a reported head grade of ~22 g/t from a vein stope
operation.
Limited exploration has been conducted on the project since the cessation of mining activities in the early 1940s. In
late 2019, GSN completed its maiden RC drilling program of 17 Reverse Circulation (RC) holes for 2,658m. Results are
shown in ASX press releases dated 26 November 2019, 4 December 2019, and 19 December 2019.
