Modelling, heritage surveys and reconnaissance are already underway and preparations for the next drilling phase, set to kick off in November, have begun.

A week ago, the JV also revealed results from recent drilling at the Burke & Wills, Deejay and Jude prospects within Greater Duchess, all of which are 17.5 per cent owned by Latitude 66.

Drilling at Burke & Wills, which sits close to the 2.7-million-tonne Lady Fanny deposit, has already intercepted 13m at 2.7 per cent copper and 0.2 grams per tonne gold, extending the mineralised zone to 300m and adding to the current 400,000-tonne satellite resource grading 2.2 per cent copper.

At Deejay and Jude, four reverse-circulation (RC) holes yielded assay results 33-250 per cent higher than initial portable x-ray fluorescence (pXRF) estimates. A key intercept at Deejay hit 15m at one per cent copper and 0.2g/t gold from 31m. Another hole at Jude returned 2m at 3.7 per cent copper and 0.4g/t gold from 45m.

Further electromagnetic (EM) work and drilling at site is now planned.

Another area that remains highly prospective is the 1.3km corridor from Deejay to Spring Creek, with large-scale copper-gold potential and only five holes drilled so far.

With 3200 samples across the Greater Duchess area still waiting to come in and new drilling due to kick off in two weeks’, the JV is heading for a busy period running into Christmas. With so many new undrilled targets, it appears that Carnaby and Lattitude 66 have really only just scratched the surface.
