Latin Resources acquires Peep O’Day gold target in NSW

Latin Resources’ (ASX:LRS) shares climbed 5.8% to 7.3c in morning trades as the company picks up 100% of the NSW Peep O’Day gold target. 

Located on NSW’s Lachlan Ford Belt, the prospect has returned high grade samples in exploration tests with one sample over nine grams per tonne of gold. 

With a 1.3km strike length and running in a north-south direction. 

High grade rock chips have been collected at both ends of the strike, indicating possible piecemeal high-grade mineralisation sitting within areas of lower grade.

Latin has triggered its acquisition clause after fulfilling substantial groundwork at the Yarra Tenement.

Data part of new ownership 

While the company will have to hold its breath to wait for new RC drill permit approvals, Latin as the new owners acquire important extras. 

Namely, all mining information and data in possession of the former owners will be given to Latin Resources. 

Further, MEG (former owners) retain zero royalty or milestone payments on the tenement and no longer have any right to Peep O’Day.
