Directors of Tyranna Resources Limited, as manager of the Western Gawler Craton Joint Venture which includes WPG Resources Ltd. (TYX 75% - WPG 25%) and Coombedown Resources Pty Ltd. are pleased to announce results from reverse circulation (RC) drill holes completed at the Greenwood Gold Prospect, located approximately 37km north of the Challenger Gold Mine and part of the larger Jumbuck Gold Project in the Northern Gawler Block of South Australia. Tyranna completed a highly successful drilling program in the first half of 2016, which yielded the first new discovery within the Jumbuck Gold Project area in over 15 years at the Greenewood gold prospect. After interpretation of the results of the previous exploration drilling by Tyranna's structural geologist, it became apparent that the optimal azimuth direction needed to be modified to test the structural concept.

Hole 20 was the first of the holes that were drilled at an azimuth orientation of 310o which would effectively test a narrow, shallowly plunging shoot akin to Challenger type mineralisation. Mineralisation at Challenger comprises a number of narrow, shallowly plunging complexly deformed high grade shoots. The shoots plunge at around 30° to the NE, with mineralisation being defined to over 2.8km down plunge, (1.4km vertical depth).

One feature of the mineralisation is the small surface footprint, which has exploration implications.
