Platina Resources Limited commenced a planned 3,000m reverse circulation (RC) drilling program over 11 holes at its Xanadu Gold Project in Western Australia. The first phase of the program at Xanadu will target the core 4km of the 10km section of the Xanadu gold trend distinguished by historic gold occurrences drilled within the Duck Creek Dolomite, where it is affected by the Nanjilgardy fault zone and its splays. Along this target area, the company will test several induced polarisation (IP) chargeable anomalies, potentially representing sulphides with associated gold mineralisation, as well as shallower oxide mineralised zones.

"The drilling program is expected to take 15 days to complete. The company has worked closely with the traditional landowners to secure the required site clearances. Platina controls a ground position of 562km2 with contiguous coverage along a 60km strike length of the Nanjilgardy fault and its splays and the Duck Creek Dolomite stratigraphy which is host to gold mineralisation within the project area.
