  • Samples transported to Gekko Laboratory in Ballarat

Complete results are expected within 2 weeks

Kaiser’s Maldon Gold Project hosted multiple historical high-grade shaft mines and is in the heart of Victoria’s Golden Triangle, between Bendigo and Ballarat. The Project has a history of mining dating back to 1853 and has produced over 1.75 million ounces of gold from quartz reefs[3] .

Kaiser’s Union Hill Gold Mine has seen both open pit and underground mining throughout its history, with production from the Eaglehawk Reef totalling 0.49Moz Au prior to 1926, plus the more modern open pit and underground work[ 3] .

The Union Hill Gold Mine is located on a granted mining lease and is fully permitted, with Kaiser’s operating Processing Plant located 4km away at Porcupine Flat.

Kaiser’s Managing Director, Brad Valiukas, commented:

“Maldon represents a district-scale gold opportunity for Kaiser, with numerous historical mines and lines of working that remain substantially underexplored.

“The recently completed drilling at Union Hill tested a small, but important, part of a much larger opportunity. The Union Hill Gold Mine is fully permitted with grid power, an existing decline and is dewatered. With some rehabilitation work, we can move back to exploration from underground and, in tandem, commence a bigger picture approach to the Project as a whole.

“Kaiser has not previously had the funds to progress the Maldon Gold Project as actively as warranted, but with Henty now bedded in and Kaiser’s transformation into a profitable gold miner complete, we are now in a great position to drive Maldon forward as a key growth asset.”

Maldon Gold Project Drilling

Union Hill – Eaglehawk Reef

The Union Hill in-pit diamond drilling program was designed to test for unmined extensions of the Eaglehawk Reef (“EHR”) directly beneath the Union Hill Open Pit floor. The EHR was historically one of the most productive lodes within the greater Maldon Goldfield, producing approximately 491,000 ounces of high-grade gold within the 1.75 million ounces of historical gold produced from quartz reefs, at 28 g/t Au, at Maldon[3] . Historical mining was largely confined to the hanging-wall portion of the reef, with modelling indicating significant potential remaining within the footwall zone and between interpreted historical mining stopes.

This program represents the first drilling within the Union Hill pit environment since surface mining ceased in 1992. Modelling indicates that portions of the Eaglehawk Reef remain unmined and could contribute to future underground mining opportunities should economic grades be confirmed. Historical drill hole UHP-0019, the only known drill hole located below the open pit floor, returned an encouraging intercept of 7.6m @ 4.9 g/t gold from 45.7m downhole[4] .

The existing decline development at Union Hill passes near the Eaglehawk Reef, providing a platform to continue drilling from underground, should surface drilling results confirm extensions of mineralisation.
