Great Western Exploration (ASX: GTE) has begun diamond drilling at its Oval Copper-Gold Target, aiming to test a gravity anomaly linked to a potential large VHMS system akin to the nearby DeGrussa deposit. This marks the launch of a six-month program targeting nine copper-gold prospects across the Yerrida Basin.

Loyal Metals Ltd (ASX:LLM) has reported assay results from drillhole 25HRDD003 at its Highway Reward Copper-Gold Project in Queensland, confirming a large, continuous VHMS Copper-Gold-Silver system. The 179m intersection at 1.47% copper equivalent supports a bulk-style mining opportunity distinct from historical narrow-lens models.

Great Western Exploration is set to begin drilling nine copper-gold targets in the Yerrida Basin, backed by a $3.75 million capital raise and strong cash reserves. The campaign kicks off mid-April at the Oval target, which shows promising geological parallels to the nearby DeGrussa deposit.
