During the first half of the summer field season SHG has focused on identifying additional regional targets while also following up on an area of interest generated from the results of the 2022 field season.  With the help of Cardiff University placement students 33 stream sediment samples, 445 soil samples and 12 rock chips have been collected.  The stream sediments samples have been collected across our Carmarthenshire and Pembrokeshire option agreements and in an area 7 km south-west of the Dolaucothi mine soil and rock chip samples have been collected to build on last years results.  All samples are currently awaiting analysis at ALS Laboratories.  The second half of the field season in September will comprise 4 weeks of additional stream sediment sampling in Carmarthenshire.

Sarn Helen Gold has secured 4 options agreements from the Crown Estate to explore for Gold in Wales. The options agreements cover 1000 square kilometers.

Although SHG has permission from the Crown to explore for gold in these areas, the permission from the land owner is needed to carry out any work eg mapping, taking soil samples.

We are very grateful to the local land owners who have helped us gain access to the land in our licence areas.

The option agreements are in Pembrokeshire, Carmarthenshire and around the Roman gold mine at Dolaucothi.

Option Agreements

SHG holds 5 Option Agreements across Wales and Scotland.
