Gladiator Resources Ltd. was granted exploration license E52/3104, which covers its Marymia gold project in Western Australia's Murchison Goldfield.

The company said Aug. 16 that it plans to conduct a two-stage exploration program, with initial drilling around previously identified anomalies to confirm the presence and location of a target.

The second drilling stage will be finalized following completion of the first stage, and will include reverse circulation drilling to look for indications of a potentially economic discovery.
