White Dam Gold Project Update
KEY POINTS
Recent Gold Production and Sales in December ’24 Quarter
-
White Dam Gold project has shipped significantly more gold in the current quarter to date, of approximately 500 ounces of gold with an estimated value of ~$2 million.
-
Higher gold production and revenue is a result of the new heap leach material under irrigation and from mineralised material recovered from around the gold room and elution circuits.
-
Potential for further higher gold production in this quarter and the next as a result of the general maintenance of the gold room and elution circuit. In addition, fine carbon stocks containing gold are being prepared for assay and sale in the coming months.
-
The jump in gold production and revenue in the December quarter will strengthen the company’s working capital position going into next year.
Sale of White Dam Gold Project (South Australia)
-
Olary and their funding parties have confirmed to GBM that they continue to work to secure the minimum funding condition under the term sheet (Refer ASX:GBZ release 8 July 2024) to allow completion. GBM continues to assist Olary as needed.
-
Separately, GBM continues to have discussions with a number of other parties on the sale of the White Dam project along with site visits. The high A$ gold price continues to support interest in the asset.
White Dam Production and Gold Sales
GBM Resources Limited (GBM) is pleased to confirm that significant gold sales have been completed and are in progress since the end of September ’24 quarter.

GBM Managing Director and CEO, Peter Rohner, commented:
“GBM has continued to look to maximise value from the sale of non-core assets for GBM’s shareholders. GBM’s focus continues to be on the prospective Drummond Basin where large high grade epithermal gold deposits exist and where it has expanded JORC resources to ~ 1.84 Moz of gold, including a Farmin agreement with Newmont on the Mt Coolon Project and the more recent partial sale and Farm-in agreement with Wise Walkers on the Twin Hills Project. While the delays in selling White Dam are frustrating the recent progress in realising significant gold production and lock-up is of significant value to GBM.”
This ASX announcement was approved and authorised for release by:
The Board of Directors

Some tenements (see Appendix 2) in the Basin are subject to farm-in arrangements and 2024/25 will see an expanded drilling program which is aiming to define 2-3 Moz and support GBM’s transition into a mid-tier Australian gold company.
