Peregrine Gold Limited (ASX: $PGD) has acquired three highly prospective exploration licences adjoining and surrounding its existing landholding at the Newman Gold Project in the Pilbara region of Western Australia. The acquisition, which includes upfront consideration of A$175,000 in shares, consolidates the Project's footprint, bringing the total landholding to over 1,000 square kilometres. The tenements were acquired from DiscovEx Resources Ltd (ASX: $DCX) and Lighthouse Resources Holdings Pty Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of DCX.
The acquisition of these three tenements as well as the seven tenements recently acquired from FMG further consolidates Peregrine Gold's tenure at our Newman Gold Project, totaling approximately 1,060 square kilometres of highly prospective ground. The exploration undertaken by Peregrine Gold over the last few years has confirmed that the northern portion of the Sylvania Dome is prospective for high-grade gold mineralization. A geological review of past work completed over these three tenements will commence immediately. - George Merhi, Technical Director of Peregrine
