Leeuwin Metals Ltd is preparing for its first-phase exploration program at the Marda Gold Project in Western Australia's Eastern Goldfields. The company has engaged a drilling contractor and submitted a program of works for the initial round of drilling. The acquisition of Marda is also progressing and is expected to be finalised at a shareholder meeting on March 17, 2025. Once complete, exploration will begin immediately. The project spans more than 500 square kilometres of granted mining, exploration and prospecting leases, hosting eight open pits and several historical workings with significant exploration potential. Leeuwin has conducted a comprehensive data review and target generation program, leading to plans for a 10,000-metre multi-phase drilling program, funded by a recent $3.25 million share placement. The company has also hired a senior geologist and applied for additional tenure surrounding the existing Marda leases. The initial drilling phase will target high-priority areas, including extensions of previously mined pits and untested anomalies identified through historical data analysis. Once the acquisition is complete, drilling crews and equipment will be mobilised to commence the 2025 exploration program. #LeeuwinMetals #GoldExploration #MiningNews #WesternAustralia #DrillingUpdate #GoldMining #ExplorationDrilling #MineralExploration #MardaGoldProject #ResourceDevelopment #MiningIndustry #Geology #GoldProspects
