Projects
Victoria Bore Copper Project
The Victoria Bore Copper Project is located 120km Southeast of Onslow, proximal to transport infrastructure and the Dampier to Bunbury Gas Pipeline, in the Pilbara Region of Western Australia. Historic workings cover a length of 130m via a series of shallow shafts. The Victoria Bore project tenure is believed to be highly prospective for copper, with the historical Victoria Copper Mine being mined for 183t at 32.7% Cu for 60t Cu.[1]

Edjudina Gold Project
The Edjudina Gold Project is located approximately 150km Northeast of the regional city of Kalgoorlie in Western Australia. It covers a section of the established mineralized trend along the Keith-Kilkenny Tectonic Zone which hosts multiple significant gold discoveries.
In addition, interpretation of a recently completed sub-audio magnetics (SAM) survey is currently in progress. The company was also successful in a ballot for a series of sub-blocks northwest of Northern Star Resources (ASX:NST) Carosue Dam Operation that are considered to be highly prospective for gold.
