Projects
["Goodrich/Yeoval Project: Situated within the premier Macquarie Arc of the Ordovician Lachlan Fold Belt in central New South Wales, this project represents a highly-prospective copper-gold opportunity in what is currently considered Australia’s most “active” exploration corridor. Located near Yeoval township, about 70 km northwest of Orange and 33 km southwest of Wellington, the project spans part of exploration license EL8538 (around 290 km²). The project specifically targets “pencil” porphyry mineralization, a high-grade style of deposit similar to the world-class Cadia-Ridgeway systems. Geologically, the site is defined by chalcopyrite-bornite-molybdenite mineralization hosted within the Goodrich granodiorite. Historically, Goodrich was the largest mine in the Yeoval district, producing an estimated ~300 tonnes of copper, 159 kg of gold and 62 kg of silver from shallow workings, including an open pit to ~46 m and shafts to ~90 m depth. Mining exploited a cone-shaped breccia and lode system comprising quartz–magnetite–chalcopyrite hosted within the Goodrich granodiorite, consistent with alkalic porphyry systems elsewhere in the Macquarie Arc. The presence of magnetite-rich alteration, molybdenite, and higher-grade copper sulphides such as bornite supports the interpretation of a potentially robust porphyry core, with historic mining likely representing only the upper expression of a larger intrusive-centred hydrothermal system at depth.","Eversley: A district-scale IOCG and rare earth exploration venture covering 2,584 km² along South Australia's mineralisation-controlling G2 Structural Corridor, with exceptionally shallow basement depths offering a technically and commercially compelling entry point into the prolific Olympic IOCG Province. The Eversley North Gawler Craton Project is a district-scale exploration venture located in the northern Gawler Craton of South Australia, approximately 150 km north-northeast of the Prominent Hill mine. The project encompasses three exploration licenses—EL 6590, EL 6802, and EL 6897—covering a 2,584 km² prospective package. The project is situated within the prolific Olympic IOCG Province, strategically positioned along the G2 Structural Corridor. This mantle-connected structural pathway is historically significant for funneling mineralizing fluids into the crust, providing the geological “sweet spot” necessary for the formation of large-scale Iron Oxide Copper-Gold (IOCG) systems and carbonatite-hosted Rare Earth Element (REE) deposits. The project’s prospectivity is anchored by three key targets: Jupiter, Ganymede, and Victory, which benefit from exceptionally accessible depths of less than 150 meters to basement compared to regional peers. The Jupiter and Ganymede targets are characterized by high-intensity magnetic and gravity anomalies typical of Mesoproterozoic IOCG systems (~1.59 Ga), with basement depths estimated between 50 and 150 meters. This significantly reduces technical risk and exploration costs associated with deeper “blind” targets elsewhere in the craton. Complementing the copper-gold potential is the Victory prospect, an early-stage Ionic Clay REE target. Historic sampling at Victory has identified anomalous rare earth concentrations associated with shallow kaolinized saprolite (as shallow as 0.1–0.5 m), suggesting a compelling model for near-surface, low-cost ionic clay mineralization. With a Native Title Mining Agreement recently secured, the project is positioned for imminent geophysical refinement and drilling of these ready targets."]
