Cairn Hill Gold Project – Western Australia

  • Centered on a 200km long gold mineralised trend, stretching between Northern Star’s Paulsen’s Gold Mine and the Mt Olympus Deposit in the highly prospective Ashburton Region, Western Australia

  • Modern exploration at Cairn Hill commenced in 1982 and was sporadic through to the late 1990’s as part of large regional projects / JV’s undertaken by Esso & BHPB.

  • Work to date by Berkut has focused on shallow high grade gold mineralisation identified by previous explorers (1999-2007) including:

  • 20m @ 29g/t gold from 30m; and

  • 6m @ 12g/t gold from 142m

  • Whilst initial results were encouraging;

  • CHD004 10.5m @ 8.1g/t Au from 30.5m, detailed follow up drilling failed to substantiate the early results

  • The company is looking to expand exploration, looking in detail at the regional potential of the project
