Dampier’s Executive Chairman, Mr Malcolm Carson, said:
“We are delighted that the Company has commenced the Zuleika Project joint venture and is now positioned to commence exploration on the world class Zuleika Shear.
The Company has secured a significant tenement position in one of the world’s most prolific gold producing areas via the commencement of the Zuleika Project and the Company’s other joint venture interests at Credo Well, Menzies and Goongarrie. The building of this strategic portfolio of proximate tenements in known gold producing areas, has been the focus of the Company for the last 2 years.
Despite the current challenging situation, the Directors of Dampier have worked tirelessly through these difficult times and pushed on to complete a 1000m RC programme and a 2600m AC programme at Credo Well with assay results due shortly . Geological evidence from the drilling demonstrated typical ore grade zones observed in drill cuttings. Further, the Company has conducted substantial evaluation of the Zuleika Project database and performed detailed analysis of the historical drilling and geophysics in anticipation of this Joint Venture being initiated. The Company is now eager to embark on a strategically targeted programme at the Zuleika Project and we certainly look forward to continuing our strong and constructive working relationship with Torian.
With more than 20 million ounces of historical production, the Zuleika Shear is one of the most sought-after gold regions in Australia. The Zuleika Project lies north and partly along strike of several major gold deposits including Northern Star’s (ASX: NST) 7.0 Moz East Kundana Joint Venture and Evolution’s (ASX: EVN) 1.8 Moz Frogs Legs and White Foil deposits. The adjacent Carnage Shear, also known as East Zuleika Shear, runs through the Dampier tenements and displays many of the same characteristics to the Zuleika Shear but as yet, is under explored. The Dampier team is optimistic about the exploration upside on discovery in the world class Kalgoorlie Goldfields.
The Company is on track to build a sizeable and high-quality gold resource in the Kalgoorlie region by continuing to expand our strategic exploration footprint and growth pipeline.”
