Barton Gold Holdings Ltd. has commenced a high-resolution airborne gravity survey over the northern portion of Exploration License 6502, which hosts the Challenger Gold Mine in South Australia. The survey, conducted by Xcalibur Smart Mapping, will cover approximately 3,200 line kilometres with closely spaced survey lines and aims to detect gravity anomalies that may indicate structures similar to Challenger’s high-grade gold lodes. This initiative forms part of Barton’s regional enhancement strategy and research and development efforts to identify new gold targets near the historic Challenger mine, which produced around 1.2 million ounces of gold between 2002 and 2018. The company is leveraging new technologies to improve geological models and support the potential restart of operations at Challenger.
