Underexplored world class, high-grade gold province beneath cover
-
60Moz gold produced since 1850’s from outcropping South Bendigo Zone, at an average grade of ~15g/ Au[1]
-
90% of mines had a recovered grade of >8.5g/t Au[1]
-
32Moz Au (P50 mid case) of undiscovered gold in the Northern Bendigo Zone (Vic Govt ‘Gold Undercover[1] ’ estimate)
-
Falcon’s project covers hundreds of kilometres of strike over the highly prospective Bendigo Zone and Castlemaine Group geology, which is the known host to all major gold deposits in the district e.g. Fosterville, Bendigo, Ballarat

Ironbark Prospect
High-grade results from first drill program
-
Previous work indicated gold potential on contact between Castlemaine Group Sediments and intrusive diorites
-
Several analogous high-grade diorite-associated gold deposits in Eastern Victoria (Walhalla-Woods Point Goldfields) including Cohen’s Reef ( ~1.5Moz @ 32g/t Au )[1]
-
Initial focus was Ironbark North and South - primary gold mineralisation was intersected in diorites
-
Aircore drilling in 2021 at suspected diorites to the east returned[2 ] :
-
PA953 - 13m @ 1.52g/t from 113m depth (ending in mineralisation); and
-
PA918 – 9m @ 0.91g/t from 61m
