GREAT BOULDER RESOURCES LTD (GBR) - Beyond the Surface: The Hidden Value of Side Well Gold Project
Manage episode 503046696 series 3570035
Gold explorers often make big promises, but Great Boulder Resources is quietly delivering real results at its flagship Side Well Gold Project near Meekatharra in Western Australia's gold-rich Murchison region. Managing Director Andrew Paterson shares how they've built a substantial high-grade resource in just four years, with clear pathways to reach one million ounces this year and ambitious plans for 1.5 million ounces in the medium term.
The company's approach blends methodical resource definition with strategic exploration across multiple prospects. Already boasting two-thirds of a million ounces at an impressive 2.8 grams per tonne, Side Well's growth story continues with recent drilling success at Eagle Hawk and Side Well South. Patterson details how they've expanded the already profitable Ironbark deposit, where high-grade gold averaging 3.3g/t extends from surface and continues southward with impressive new intersections between six and nine grams per tonne.
What makes Side Well particularly compelling is how each technical hurdle has become an opportunity. When the Ironbark extension was discovered beneath the Goldfields Highway, Paterson's team developed multiple pathways forward – either realigning the road for an expanded open pit or considering underground mining to access the high-grade ore. Similarly, concerns about copper affecting gold recovery were comprehensively addressed through metallurgical testing, revealing ore characteristics that make Side Well's material attractive even as toll-treated feed.
Perhaps most exciting is the discovery of a previously unrecognized corridor between the main mineralised trends, identified through IP surveys and about to be drill-tested. With $12 million in the bank and a balanced approach to both resource growth and new discoveries, Great Boulder Resources represents that rare combination in junior exploration – a company with proven resources, clear development pathways, and substantial blue-sky potential still to be unlocked. Follow our journey as we continue transforming Side Well into Western Australia's next significant gold development.
