What brought the Lachlan Gold Belt into the limelight?

The Lachlan Fold belt hosted around 80+ gold mines in the past and has been explored by industry heavyweights such as CRA (Now RIO) who conducted soil testing and MIM defining large intrusive mineralisation beneath the gold mines.

The area was highlighted by Newcrest's Cadia gold mine, which evolved into Australia's largest gold mine, but recent Alkane's gold discovery – the Boda project, has brought the region into the limelight.

The Stuart Town gold mining district is located between the Cadia gold mine, Australia’s largest gold mine and the Alkane’s new mega Boda drill discovery. The Stuart Town mining property lies on the Lachlan Fold Belt and has hardly been explored in the recent times.

The New South Wales Lachlan Fold Belt currently enjoys the reinvigoration and the attention of Junior and Major explorers and miners for an asset in the region.

The Cadia mining operations produced almost 913-kilo ounces of gold in the form of Gold Dore, and Copper-Gold Concentrates with an AISC (All-in Sustaining Cost) of only $132 an ounce, this provides Newcrest with an immense profit margin mostly accounting to the by-product credits received from the Copper stream.

The multi-commodity mineralisation helps to keep the project’s estimated operating expense under limits and enables it to push more capital into the project for both open pit and underground mining operations as observed in the case of Cadia and Ridgeway operations.

The strategic location and the absence of extensive exploration provides an excellent opportunity which has been substantiated by Snowden Mining Industry (Independent geologist consultants) understating of the Stuart Town's similarity to the Resolute's Ravenswood (6 Million Ounce Gold Resources).

The management leadership has held the project for years and considers that the current timing is perfect for the exploration and development of the property.

Kaiser Reef under the leadership of its management with excellent track record will focus on the exploration and development of the Stuart Town Gold project with the possibility of a long-life mining operation in the matured mining environment of NSW.
