• Aircore drilling program of 7,500m underway at Mt McKenna Gold Project in Western Australia
• Drilling to test four interpreted splays off the regional Granite Well fault within the northern block of Target 2
• Program will aid litho-geochemical classification and understanding of alteration halos for future targeting

Platina Resources Limited has commenced its maiden drilling program at the Mt McKenna Gold Project in Western Australia's prolific Laverton region, with 7,500m of aircore drilling planned. The project is located 13km east of Laverton, adjacent to Genesis Minerals' Laverton Project and 20km north-east of Goldfields' Granny Smith Gold Mine. The drilling program is expected to be completed by early December and is designed to test four interpreted splays off the regional Granite Well fault within the northern block of Target 2. The program will also serve litho-geochemical classification and create an understanding of any prevalent alteration halos for future targeting. Target 2 was selected following a comprehensive interpretation process that integrated multiple exploration datasets, including geological mapping, surface geochemical sampling, reinterpretation of historical geophysical data, and results from a detailed ground gravity survey. Platina's Managing Director, Corey Nolan, stated that the company has been eager to commence drilling at Mt McKenna since acquiring the project in September 2025, as it stood out as having the highest potential due to its location and unique geology.
