Gold Mountain’s Director – Exploration, Doug Smith said: “The Crown Ridge target area, which is 3.8 km long and 2.2 km wide, has been the source area for the alluvial gold mined by local people in the Timun River since the 1940s.
“Gold Mountain is confident that the acquisition of EL 2306 (Abundance Valley), which encompasses the northern half of the caldera target and hosts free gold and platinum occurrences, will strengthen the upcoming and any future exploration drill programs.
“The relative proximity, and geological affinity to Porgera (with more than 20 million ounces gold produced) is a testament to the potential of Gold Mountain’s tenement holdings, which now cover more than 2,000 square kilometres in a highly prospective region.”

Gold Mountain’s Managing Director Tony Teng commented: “The acquisition of EL 2306 (Abundance Valley) is a significant milestone for the Company, as it further consolidates our highly prospective portfolio in the Wabag Mineral Province. It gives us contiguous exploration grounds that cover the entire caldera which is underexplored with multiple high value targets.
“We have a fantastic working relationship with the Vendor and we are well received by the local community that our endeavours would bring great economic benefits to its people and the region.”
The Directors are excited about the inclusion of Abundance Valley to the Company’s project portfolio, and will provide shareholders with an update on its exploration program pivotal in defining a maiden JORC inferred resource by first quarter of 2018.
