Great Southern Mining (GSN) has lodged applications for four tenements near its Cox's Find Gold Project in Western Australia.
The company purchase Cox's Find in August last year and has been focused on expanding the project.
The applications will increase the landholding along the Duketon Greenstone Belt which hosts major gold deposits.
The area around application E38/3518 has been identified as a highly prospective for gold and has excellent exploration potential. The area has a number of historical workings and provides Great Southern additional walkup drill targets.
If the tenements are granted, the new land will increase Cox's Find to a total of 54 square kilometres. It will also include over 12 kilometres of access to the mineralisation trends that host both the Garden Well and Rosemount gold deposits.
CEO Mark Major says the applications are a major step for the company in the Duketon Belt.
"There are multi-million-ounce deposits such as Garden Well only 12 kilometres away with Rosemount a mere 20 kilometres from Cox’s Find," he said.
"With the potential for such a significant increase in land holding, underpinned by the high-grade Cox’s Find Project, GSN is well placed and well-funded to unlock further potential in the project through discoveries and potentially adding scale to the project," he added.
Great Southern's exploration team is currently gathering and analysing all historical data over the applications.
On the market this afternoon, company shares are down 5.88 per cent and is trading for 16 cents per share at 3:23 pm AEST.
