Operations During the First Half-Year Period of FY2023

Platina Resources controls a portfolio of precious and speciality metal projects and investments at various stages of development. The Company’s assets are based in Western Australia.

Challa Gold Project

The Challa Gold Project is located approximately 500 km northeast of Perth in Western Australia. The Project underwent a Phase 1 air-core drilling program during this period. The aim was to identify gold anomalies in the bedrock beneath the surface soil cover. The most significant finding from the program was a 4-meter intercept with a 0.2 gram per tonne gold grade at a depth of 32 meters in CHAC0081.

Xanadu Gold Project

The Xanadu Gold Project is located in the Ashburton Basin. The project comprises seven prospecting licences and five exploration licences covering 554 km2. During the reported period, a phase 1 maiden reverse circulation drilling program consisting of 11 holes drilled for 2,214 metres was completed. It covers a wide area of 4 km within a 10 km mineralised and altered corridor. The program contributed to a better understanding of mineralisation controls by providing valuable data on stratigraphic horizons and mineralisation patterns.

The strike of untested ground immediately to the west of the historic Amphitheatre open pit anomaly drilling conducted and demonstrated the presence of gold mineralisation at a depth of up to 900m. To target mineralisation beyond 200 metres depth, diamond drilling will be required in the future.

Mt Narryer Gold Project
