Project Background
Geology
-
Located 640km northeast of Perth and 10km south of Meekatharra, in the Murchison Region of Western Australia
-
800km[2] tenement holding covering over 100km strike length over prolific Murchison greenstone belt, a proven fertile greenstone
-
» Past production >13Moz
-
» Hosts multi-million ounce deposits at Mt Magnet, Big Bell, Tuckabianna, Reedys, Yaloginda and Paddys Flat
-
» Reed’s project area past production circa 4.5Moz
History
-
Previously owned by Mercator, who purchased Meekatharra from St Barbara Mines in 2004
-
Mercator spent $26m to establish a JORC resource of 2.5Moz and reserve of 0.4Moz by 2007
-
Mercator spent $6m refurbishing Bluebird mill to produce 120koz pa
-
Mining commenced in 2007 and produced 44,000 ounces prior to suspension of operations in October 2008
