Greatland Gold Plc kicked off initial field work at its 360-square-kilometer Paterson iron oxide-gold-copper property in Western Australia.

The company said Oct. 13 that it will investigate the ability to use the low-cost mobile metal ion sampling method on a larger scale to test regional targets identified in August.

Greatland also expects to start ground-based gravity surveys before the end of the month, with an initial focus on the Havieron and Scallywag targets.
