Entitlement offer of Gascoyne will open on 10 April 2019 till the close date of 1 May 2019.
NRW is a mining contractor Dalgaranga Gold Project (DGP) which is located approximately 65km by road NW of Mt Magnet in the Murchison gold mining region of Western Australia and covers the majority of the Dalgaranga greenstone belt. The Project contained a pre-mining JORC Measured, Indicated and Inferred Resource of 31.1 Mt @ 1.3 g/t Au for 1,320,000 oz of contained gold, and a Proved and Probable Ore Reserve of 612,000 oz of gold, increased to 650,000 oz in mine pan update. On safety front, the project reportedly remains Lost Time Incident (LTI) free, since the commencement of construction activities in April 2017.
Post-production stabilisation at Dalgaranga, Gascoyne intends to target exploration of near mine, low stripping, oxide ore sources as it believes that this has the potential to both improve production in the next 24 months and extend the mine life.
NRW further confirmed that it has agreed and been compensated to extend commencement of repayments by six months as a senior lender to Gascoyne Resources with respect to A$12 million working capital facility provided by NRW Pty Ltd.
