Savannah Goldfields Limited has announced a new gold exploration target at its fully owned Georgetown Project. The Phily’s deposit, estimated between 50,000 and 150,000 tonnes at 1.2–2.5 g/t Au and located within 20m of surface, could extend feed supply to the nearby processing plant pending further drilling.
Savannah Goldfields Limited today announced the identification of its fifth gold exploration target at the Phily’s deposit, part of its 100% owned Georgetown Project. The target is estimated to contain between 50,000 and 150,000 tonnes of mineralisation with potential gold grades ranging from 1.2 to 2.5 grams per tonne. The deposit is notable for its near-surface mineralisation, extending to a maximum depth of about 20 metres, and is strategically located approximately 50 km from the company’s Georgetown Processing Plant.
The exploration target is supported by data from drilling, costean mapping, surface trenching, and geological mapping that highlighted increased quartz veining in metamorphosed sediments, which appears to be sub-vertical. This new target adds to a series of exploration initiatives that the company has announced in recent months, including targets at Jubilee Plunger, Red Dam, Electric Light, and Big Reef. Savannah Goldfields is following a “Hub and Spoke” strategy, aiming to secure multiple near-term ore feeds for the processing plant and to stretch the life of current resources while preparing for future mining and processing activities.
The announcement also details technical information that includes the conceptual nature of the estimated tonnage and grade, the geographic scale of veining over a strike length of approximately 3,000 metres across six vein sets, and a planned follow-up program with infill and extensional drilling, updated geological modelling, and metallurgical tests. The company anticipates that further exploration work, which could begin as early as 2026, will help validate the target and guide future resource updates.
From a bullish perspective, the continued identification of exploration targets strengthens the company’s resource base and supports the strategic vision of extending the processing plant’s operating life. The diverse array of targets reinforces investor confidence in Savannah Goldfields Limited’s ability to deliver multiple ore sources, potentially leading to gradual improvements in overall production and value creation. However, on the bearish side, it is important to note that the Phily’s Exploration Target is conceptual in nature and has not yet been upgraded to a mineral resource. This uncertainty means that further exploration is needed to substantiate the economic viability of the new target, which could result in delays or increased capital expenditure as the company ramps up its exploration programs.
