NEW TENEMENT ACQUISITION STRENGTHENS CONGLOMERATE GOLD PORTFOLIO
-
Option acquired over tenement prospective for conglomerate-hosted gold in the Pilbara region of Western Australia.
-
E45/4621 contains outcropping Mt Roe Basalts with conglomerate units observed within the tenement area.
-
Adds to the Company’s existing package including the substantial strike length of Hardey Formation underlying the Mt Sydney Project.
Tando Resources (“ Tando ” or “ the Company ”) is pleased to advise that it has acquired an option over E45/4621 (the “ Tenement ”) located in the Pilbara region of Western Australia (Figure 1). The tenement is located to the east of Marble Bar, with other operators in the belt including Novo Resources Corporation (“ Novo ”), Haoma Mining NL, Impact Minerals and DGO Gold (Figure 2). Details of the tenement, and a summary of the terms of the agreement entered into by the Company, are included as Appendix 1.

Within E45/4621 rocks of the Mt Roe Sequence have been observed including basalt, rhyolite, conglomerate and limestone. The conglomerate unit is recorded as being matrix supported with cobbles and pebbles to 20cm in diameter. The matrix is angular to rounded sand sized quartz, feldspar and trace pyrite with the lithology of the pebbles/cobbles being basalt, granite, shale and quartzite. A PhD study completed across the tenement area by M.P. Alvin in 1998 and reviewed by the vendor suggested that the observed conglomerate may be the basal conglomerate at the bottom of the Mount Roe Sequence but did not provide further evidence for this claim.
As announced the Company has defined conglomerate-hosted gold targets within the Hardey Formation at the Mt Sydney Project, analogous to the Beatons Creek Deposit owned by Novo (refer ASX Announcement 12 December 2017). The acquisition of E45/4621 will enable the Company to explore settings analogous to Purdy’s Reward (owned by Novo and Artemis Resources).
Managing Director Bill Oliver commented:
“The gold potential of the Pilbara region has been brought to international attention in recent months. This acquisition provides our shareholders with direct exposure to this emerging sector at a minimal up front cost. We view this tenement as highly prospective and complementary to our existing holdings, with the ability to advance exploration in parallel with current work programmes and in response to developments in the sector.”
