Greatland Gold plc (AIM: GGP), the precious and base metals exploration and development company, is pleased to provide an update on the drilling campaign at the Havieron deposit in the Paterson region of Western Australia.

The Company notes the release of an ASX announcement titled 'Quarterly Exploration Report' by Newcrest Mining Ltd ('Newcrest') earlier today.

Drilling activities since the last report include new results from the Growth Drilling programme, which continue to support the potential for resource expansion of the Havieron system. Infill drilling from within the Inferred Mineral Resource Boundary (at a nominal 50m by 50m spacing) is designed to support the delivery of an Indicated Mineral Resource estimate in the South East Crescent Zone and adjacent Breccia Zone. It should be noted that the results for infill drilling were received in the March 2021 quarter, and reported in the Greatland release 'Further Outstanding Infill Drilling Results at Havieron', dated 11 March 2021.

Assay results for four new drill holes from the Growth Drilling programme (not previously reported) have been received and are reported here today, with all holes intersecting significant mineralisation.

Notes for Editors

Greatland Gold plc is a London Stock Exchange AIM-listed (AIM:GGP) natural resource exploration and development company with a current focus on precious and base metals.

The Company's flagship asset is the world class Havieron gold-copper deposit in the Paterson region of Western Australia. This asset is held in joint venture with Newcrest Mining Ltd. Havieron is located approximately 45km east of Newcrest's Telfer gold mine, processing plant and existing infrastructure.

The box cut and decline to develop the Havieron ore body was commenced in February 2021. In addition, a substantial ongoing growth drilling programme is presently underway at Havieron which is being undertaken in conjunction with preparation of a Pre-Feasibility Study ('PFS'). Newcrest is managing the preparation of the PFS, which is expected to be released in late calendar 2021.

The Joint Venture Agreement includes tolling principles reflecting the intention of the parties that, subject to a successful exploration programme and feasibility study and a positive decision to mine, the resulting joint venture mineralised material will be processed at Telfer.

Greatland is seeking to identify large mineral deposits in areas that have not been subject to extensive exploration previously. It is widely recognised that the next generation of large deposits will come from such under-explored areas and Greatland is applying advanced exploration techniques to investigate a number of carefully selected targets within its focused licence portfolio.

The Company is actively investigating a range of new opportunities in Australia for precious and strategic metals and will update the market on new opportunities as and when appropriate.
