GBM Resources Limited ( ASX: GBZ) is a well-funded Queensland based mineral exploration and development company focused on the discovery of world-class gold and copper deposits in Eastern Australia. The company has a high calibre project portfolio, hosting district scale mineral systems, located in several premier metallogenic terrains.

GBM’s flagship project in the Drummond Basin (QLD) holds ~1.84 Moz of gold in JORC resources (Mt Coolon, Yandan and Twin Hills).
