Overview of Goldsworthy East
The Goldsworthy East project is located less than 100kms from the multi-user, Utah Point Bulk Handling Facility The sealed, all weather Great Northern Highway runs past just 3kms to the north of the project, directly to Port Hedland and Utah Point, and is approved for use by 150 tonne payload, ultra-quad road trains.
A previous gravity survey undertaken by Macro has defined two substantial targets on the Goldsworthy East tenement, being:
-
Northern Target: 1,600m strike, 200m wide and depth extent of 450m modelled to occur within 25m of surface
-
Southern Target: 1,100m strike, 215m wide and depth extent of 400m, modelled to occur within 30m of surface
In addition to executing the above agreements, and in order to prepare for the Company’s previously foreshadowed drilling campaign at Goldsworthy East scheduled to commence as soon as the licence grants, members of the Macro board were accompanied by two members of the Ngarla heritage team on a visit to the tenement area. The purpose of this visit was to scope out the proposed drilling area and develop a plan for the heritage survey that the Ngarla traditional owners will undertake across the northern section of the tenement in the near future.
Mr Simon Rushton, Managing Director said: “I am very pleased Macro has successfully established relationships with our key stakeholders for Goldsworthy East, being the traditional owners of the country on which the project is located, the Ngarla People and the Nyamal People, BHP, our neighbour directly to our west and Pardoo Beef Corporation, the pastoralist on the land.
Strong relationships built upon mutual trust, respect and open communication are vital for a smooth and expeditious transition from tenement application, through exploration and finally into production, which is our plan for Goldsworthy East.
I wish to extend my sincere thanks to each of these stakeholders, as well as to their respective advisors, for facilitating smooth and expedient negotiations of the key access agreements required to enable our application to proceed to grant.
I particularly wish to thank the Nyamal Aboriginal Corporation RNTBC and their external advisor at Agreement Hub for the quick turnaround of both the heritage protection agreement and the State Deed. As soon as we receive the State Deed from the Ngarla People we will be in a position to request the DEMIRS to truncate the four month Right to Negotiate period and expedite the grant of the Exploration Licence given the determinations in favour of the two groups cover the entirety of the tenure.
It was also great to recently be on country with the Ngarla heritage team and to collaboratively scope out the heritage survey the group will shortly undertake. This survey will clear the way for our inaugural drilling campaign, which we have scheduled to occur as soon as the exploration licence grants in early Q4.”

About Macro Metals Limited
Macro’s Iron Ore portfolio has the potential for multiple sources of iron ore production utilising the well-established and proven export infrastructure of the Pilbara and emerging infrastructure in the West Pilbara. Following a field visit in March 2024, the newly appointed Board identified the Company’s Cane Bore, Catho Well and Goldsworthy projects as the three flagship exploration and development assets within the Company’s portfolio.
Utilising a fit for purpose, safety and results focused, rapid development approach across the Macro assets the Board sees substantial scale and the real potential for Macro to quickly become a multi mine iron ore producer.
