Gecko North Project

The Gecko North Project, located in Western Australia’s Eastern Goldfields, spans approximately 50 km² and is highly prospective for both critical minerals—notably lithium—and gold mineralization. This project is strategically positioned near key structural and geological features associated with some of the region’s most significant deposits.

High-Grade Gold Discovery and Geological Significance

In December 2022, a surface rock chip sample from the project area returned high-grade assays of 20.8 g/t gold and 13 g/t silver (average of three assays), immediately elevating Gecko North to a high-priority exploration target.

Although UltraFine+™ soil sampling did not reveal widespread surface anomalism for gold or silver, the presence of interpreted palaeochannels—one being the Lost Dog mine (approximately 10 km east), mined by Beacon Minerals (closed in August 2023)—suggests that this may be transported or alluvial gold. However, Greta Minerals’ field reconnaissance and review of historic exploration, including RAB and aircore drilling by a previous explorer, indicate potential for a much larger gold system beneath transported cover.

Notably:

One historical RAB hole intersected 4 m @ 0.68 g/t Au from surface

Structural interpretation suggests proximity to a significant domain boundary between the Bullabulling and Coolgardie domains—a key accretionary structure within the Eastern Goldfields Superterrane

This domain boundary is known to localize multiple significant gold systems, including:

Beacon Mining’s Gecko Gold Mine (~15 km to the SSE; 1.38 Mt @ 1.29 g/t Au)

The major Bullabulling Gold Deposit (~3 Moz), ~25 km to the south

Lithium Potential: Large-Scale Soil Anomalies

Initial UltraFine+™ soil geochemistry has identified three distinct lithium anomalies across the project area, with the two largest anomalies now forming a single, continuous lithium anomaly:

Lithium Anomaly 1:

~6.4 km long, up to 3.1 km wide

Peak lithium value: 86.6 ppm Li

Open in all directions (NW, NE, S, E)

Partially hosted within Silt Dam Monzogranite, a highly fractionated fertile granite

Lithium Anomaly 2:

Defined by a north-south soil line across a historically drilled area

Peak lithium value: 76.3 ppm Li (average 49 ppm)

Open in all directions

Lithium Anomaly 3:

Located in the project’s southwest

Peak lithium value: 65.1 ppm Li (average 49.5 ppm)
Also open to the north, south, and east

These broad and open-ended lithium-in-soil anomalies suggest significant subsurface pegmatite potential, warranting further systematic follow-up exploration, including mapping, trenching, and drilling.

Strategic Outlook

With compelling early-stage gold results, proximity to major domain boundaries, and large-scale lithium anomalies across fertile granitic terrain, the Gecko North Project offers a unique opportunity for dual-commodity discovery. Ongoing exploration will focus on delineating drill targets beneath cover and expanding geochemical datasets to validate the project’s considerable upside.
