Catalina Resources Limited (ASX:CTN) has launched formal heritage engagement processes for Exploration Licence E47/3490 within its wholly owned Beasley Creek Project in Western Australia. This marks an important step toward upcoming exploration activities.
As part of this process, the company has engaged specialist heritage legal advisers and commenced discussions with the relevant Aboriginal representative organisation. These efforts aim to confirm the status of the existing Heritage Protection Agreement (HPA) and define the relevant heritage framework for the tenement, ensuring a clear path forward for planned exploration.
Structured Approach to Heritage Due Diligence
The company has also shared a high-level corporate overview and exploration plans to facilitate initial talks and foster positive engagement with Traditional Owner representatives. This reflects Catalina's standard heritage due diligence and stakeholder engagement process, ensuring that any future on-ground activities are planned and conducted in compliance with relevant legislation and industry standards.
Flamingo Target Remains the Key Focus
Catalina holds 100% ownership of the Beasley Creek Project in Western Australia's proven gold district and home to the former Paulsens Gold Operation. This geologically promising yet underexplored site features limited prior work and multiple priority targets.
The Flamingo Target stands out as a key focus area from an independent review, driven by converging geochemical, geophysical and geological data. These studies point to a structurally controlled system consistent with gold systems akin to others in the district, guiding targeted exploration as heritage engagement advances.
Next Steps and Forward Planning
Once heritage engagement advances and necessary approvals are secured, Catalina aims to press forward with exploration planning at Beasley Creek. Planned activities include additional surface geochemical sampling to better refine priority targets, initial reconnaissance work across newly granted tenure, and preparatory work to pave the way for potential future drilling operations. At the same time, the company anticipates steady progress on heritage discussions, access logistics, and operational preparations, positioning Catalina to advance exploration in a structured, responsible manner.
