- Assays have now been submitted for Burtville East; this latest drill programme planned to follow up on Panther Australia's 600m reverse circulation drill programme in 2022, which included best intercepts of:
o BVE006: 15m @ 53.94g/t Au from 27m, including 1m at 478g/t from 28m (visible gold was panned from the drill hole cuttings of BVE006 (see ASX:PNT release 14 July 2022);

Daniel Tuffin, Panther Australia Managing Director and CEO, commented:
"We are excited to announce the discovery of gold nuggets at Comet Well and Comet Well South. The finds were initially made during drill preparations and are highlighted by a very encouraging gold in quartz specimen.
These finds underscore the highly under-explored gold-rich potential of the greater Laverton Gold Project area and the effectiveness of our exploration strategies.
Additionally, assays have now been submitted for Burtville East, where drilling in 2022 returned bonanza gold grades, including a best intercept of 15m at 53.94g/t Au from 27m, and discovered three new gold lodes.
This is a very positive beginning to the start of our 7,000m drill programme. With nine further targets remaining to drill at the Laverton Gold Project, we look forward to updating the market of our progress as exploration continues."
