Gold junior Middle Island Resources has signed an option to acquire the Wirriminna gold project, adjacent to its own Sandstone project, in Western Australia, for A$300 000.
Wirraminna is estimated to host a gold resource of some 10 000 oz and at least two further mineralised laterite deposits and substantial deeper gold exploration potential, representing Middle Island with an immediate opportunity to access higher-grade openpit mineralisation that could provide an earlier recommissioning of the Sandstone gold processing plant.
