Kalgoorlie East

  • Outstanding location with major gold deposits, Kalgoorlie Super pit ( >50 M oz) to the east and Kanowna Belle ( >5 M oz) to the north, highlight the considerable gold prospectivity of the Kalgoorlie East Project

  • Region is home to a number of 100,000+ oz/annum gold producing mines. Consistent with conceptual target for this project.

  • The project acquisition augments MRG’s existing gold project portfolio which includes the Xanadu and Braemore Gold Projects.

  • Tenements are also considered highly prospective for ultramafic - associated Ni - sulphide mineralisation similar to deposits within the same greenstone belt to the south. The Carnilya Hill and Blair nickel (both average in excess of 2.5%Ni and almost 2Mt of ore)

  • Low risk acquisition cost, consideration of $20k plus expenditure reimbursement, one million fully paid shares (to be escrowed) and a 1.5% net production royalty.
