Latitude66 set to drill high-potential gold targets at Edjudina

Latitude66 set to drill high-potential gold targets at Edjudina Latitude 66 (ASX: LAT) has announced the planned commencement of a drilling program at its Edjudina Project, located in the Laverton region of WA. The planned drilling program will commence in March this year and consists of up to 9,000m of aircore and potentially follow up reverse circulation drilling to test multiple significant gold-in-soil surface anomalies. This follows from previous exploration works completed across the project area, which have shown substantial potential given their scale and proximity to known mineral occurrences and infrastructure. Latitude66 has also signed a drill for equity agreement with Raglan Drilling, allowing the company to complete up to 9,000m of drilling, with 25% of the cost payable...

Northern Star doubles profit

Northern Star doubles profit

Northern Star doubles profit Northern Star Resources (ASX: NST) reports a record-breaking FY25 marked by high gold prices, steady production and the acquisition of De Grey Mining’s (ASX: DEG) Hemi development project.

Revival yet to hit recruitment: Hays

Revival yet to hit recruitment: Hays

Thursday, July 16 2015 By Courtney Pearson THE resources and mining sector has begun its recovery but it might take a while to reach the recruitment market, according to Hays.

Most states were looking for temporary staff due to cost-cutting, consolidation and workforce flexibility. The report recommended that NSW speed up its recruitment process as candidate levels have started to fall as they move into other industries. In Queensland, the Mount Isa market was steady and vacancies in the Bowen Basin...
