“Our Horseshoe Range and Frasers Projects are located in the richly mineralised Doolgunna / Peak Hill Region of Western Australia (see below) where there have been substantial copper gold discoveries in recent years.”
“We are guided and highly encouraged by historical works on parts of our tenement package and plan to apply modern exploration techniques to further enhance our understanding of the area.”
“The Company will commence a geophysical program to further develop its existing walk up drill targets, as well as identify new shallow and deep copper and gold targets that are familiar to the Doolgunna / Peak Hill Region.”
“We would like to thank our new shareholders and lead manager, Patersons, for ensuring this successful IPO and look forward to commencing an active exploration program.”

About Naracoota Resources
Naracoota Resources Limited is an Australian mineral exploration company established to increase shareholder value by identifying, acquiring and developing mineral projects that possess the potential for cash flow and growth. The Company’s portfolio includes two quality gold projects at Horseshoe Range and Mt Fraser in Western Australia.
Naracoota will focus initially on developing these two projects based on high grade historical production, sampling results and significant exploration potential as well as robust geological concepts.
Horseshoe Project
The Horseshoe Project has been worked on since 1897 and consistently produced good exploration results. Exploration to date has indicated that gold mineralisation in the Peak Hill district is widespread and the potential for further discoveries is high. The Company has the rights to 12 granted Tenements while the gold production history of the Horseshoe Range Project is 3,944 oz from 734 tonnes.
Fraser Project
The Fraser Project consists of 3 granted Tenements which are located within 25 kilometres of the gold mining centres of Peak Hill, Harmony, Horseshoe, Labouchere and Fortnum as well as being close to the Harrod’s resource (Meteoric Resources Limited).
