Mining giant Gold Fields Limited is getting ready to fire up the rigs again at Great Southern Mining’s vast Edinburgh Park project in north Queensland, with drilling set to restart after the north Queensland wet season. Prior to Gold Fields farming into the project, Great Southern had already identified more than 25 high priority targets across the extensive 1560-square-kilometre land package. Great Southern Mining managing director Matthew Keane said: “2026 is shaping up to be another exciting year for the Edinburgh Park JV. These are large-scale gold deposits genetically linked to felsic igneous intrusions, which typically exhibit specific metal fingerprints including bismuth, tellurium, arsenic, molybdenum and tungsten. With more geophysics and geochemistry underway to generate fresh targets across the broader project, Edinburgh Park is still in what management calls its infancy.
