Great Northern Minerals has kicked off a new drilling campaign at Camel Creek in North Queensland on the back of a recent $3 million fund raising.
Two previous drilling programs completed at Camel Creek during 2020 highlighted the potential of a significant gold system, the company said.
Numerous high-grade intersections were returned, extending over about 1000m of strike.
Higher grade results included 10m at 6.63 g/t gold (including 5m at 12.20 g/t gold from 59m), and 5m @ 5.29 g/t gold from 47m.
The new drilling campaign is set to establish a maiden JORC. . .

Great Northern Minerals has launched a diamond drilling campaign at Big Rush, expected to take 10 days to complete.
It comes after the company recently flagged potential for a significant gold system at the project, south of Greenvale in North Queensland.
The initial diamond drilling is focused underneath the central pit area of the historical gold mine, where previous RC drilling returned results including 4m at 20.73g/t gold (including 1m at 81.88 g/t gold).
Anomalous gold mineralisation at Big Rush is now documented to occur over at least 1km of strike, with additional strike extension apparent. . .
