Greatland Gold (AIM: GGP) has added some kindling to the copper-gold rumours in Western Australia’s Paterson Province after it struck a “world-class” 275m thick intersection at its wholly-owned Havieron project, near mining giant Rio Tinto’s (ASX: RIO) rumoured major copper discovery.

The result was reported from the first hole of the drilling program, with the 275m intercept a combination of upper and lower mineralised zones.

The upper zone totalled 118m at 3.08 grams per tonne gold and 0.84% copper from 459m, while the lower zone intersected 157m at 6.04g/t gold and 0.44% copper from 660m.
