Potential high-grade gold discovery opportunity

The Patricia Gold Project is located approximately 150 km northeast of Kalgoorlie in the Eastern Goldfields of WA, within a typical greenstone belt geological setting within the prolific Archaean Yilgarn Craton.

The Company has identified new targets for RC drilling north and south of the Patricia open pit and down dip of previously reported high grade intersections.

  • 100% owned situated North East of Kalgoorlie + 40km north east of Mulgabbie
  • Granted Mining Lease M31/487
  • Open pit approximately 800m long x 150m wide x 25m deep
  • Historical production (1930-1937) of 5,384 oz’s gold – 41 g/t Au
  • Targeting high-grade gold mineralisation at depth
  • Located on a 10-15° flexure in stratigraphy adjacent to a 1km long porphyry intrusion
  • Previous exploration limited
Heysen’s Find Prospect

High Grade Gold Mineralisation at Patricia Gold Project

Impressive Rock Chip Assays and Strong Exploration Potential at the Heysen’s Find Prospect

  • High-grade Gold Results at Heysen’s Find: Rock chip samples from this newly discovered prospect located 7.5km south of the Patricia Open Pit Gold Mine, returned assays up to 16.23 g/t Au.
  • Extensive Mineralisation: A shear-hosted quartz vein stockwork zone, extending over 250m in strike, yielded multiple high-grade gold rock chip samples, including;
    • PRC 0012 16.23 g/t Au
    • PRC 0019 10.33 g/t Au
    • PRC 0014   6.20 g/t Au
    • PRC 0011   3.65 g/t Au
    • PRC 0008   2.47 g/t Au
    • PRC 0010   2.33 g/t Au
    • PRC 0025   2.25 g/t Au
    • PRC 0009   1.42 g/t Au
  • Encouraging Depth Potential: High-grade samples exhibit gossan boxwork textures, suggesting the presence of pyrite mineralisation at depth within fresh rock.
  • Favourable Structural Setting: Outcropping dolerite on the western and eastern contacts of the shear zone indicate favourable geological setting for gold mineralisation.
  • Historical Drilling: Two fences of 10 shallow historical RAB holes have intersected significant gold mineralisation, but no follow-up deeper drilling has been conducted.
  • Regional Significance: Heysen Find’s proximity to the Hootanui Fault that, a major regional structure hosting significant gold deposits like the Granny Smith Gold Mine and Lake Rebecca Gold Deposit, adds further prospectivity to the area.
