Property Highlights

Homestake Mine, located 20km from the Bella Project, operated continuously for 125 years and produced ~42Moz Au (152Mt at 8.4g/t Au)

145 years of mining within the district - and counting

District is host to ~85Moz Au endowment

110km2 of banded iron formation host, which was previously part of the Homestake Mine sequence, offset by post mineralisation tectonics

Lack of systematic detailed modern exploration

High-Grade Scaleable Opportunity

Standby Mine - Significant Historic Producer from Open Pit and UG workings

  • Located on Patent Ground allows expedited access and Permitting
  • Early exploration opportunity with diamond drilling completed in 2018
  • High Grade trends confirmed to over 450m below surface
    • 3.1m at 10.29g/t from 790.9m – SM87-03A

Multiple Historic Shafts and Workings on Mapped Banded Iron formation

  • Located on Patent Ground allows expedited access and Permitting
  • Early exploration opportunity with diamond drilling completed in 2018
  • High Grade trends confirmed to over 450m below surface
    • 3.1m at 10.29g/t from 790.9m – SM87-03A

Rock chip sampling completed in 2022-23 outlined seven discrete target areas, with multiple significant results including:

  • 135 g/t Au – Standard Trend
  • 138 g/t Au – King of The West Trend
  • 135 g/t Au – Jackpot Trend
  • 19.2 g/t Au – Lookout Trend
  • 16.8 g/t Au – Montezuma
  • 9.8 g/t Au – Cochrane
  • Numerous additional prospects identified
  • None of this work has been followed up to date

Jackpot trends - 2.5km of strike defined by a combination of historic workings, mapping and magnetics

Multiple coincident magnetic and EM conductors identified

Nine ledge scale fold structures interpreted - each ledge at the Homestake Mine hosted between 1Moz and 19Moz Au

  • Channel Sampling
  • 29.9m at 11.3g/t Au -Gold King Mine
  • 10.7m at 15g/t Au – Charter Oak Mine
  • 17.6m at 7.11g/t Au – Lina Tunnel
  • 3.7m at 18.7g/t Au – Standard No 4 Shaft
