Prospector/Director of Hardrock Mineral Exploration, involved with field exploration collecting samples and identifying Geology formation.

We are a professional exploration company based in North Queensland

Our aim is to identify commercial deposits with sufficient scale to appeal to international investors.

The exploration history of the Palmer River/Hodgkinson Province has shown high potential for possible large scale gold deposits.

  • The Palmer Goldfield has been the most prolific alluvial producer in Queensland 
  • Ranks fourth among the Queensland goldfields
  • Estimated total gold production of 1,334,500 oz.
  • Probable multi-million ounces unreported by Chinese, who were > 5x more prolific in numbers
  • Previous focus was on high grade narrow vein deposits
  • Geological analogies with Victorian Goldfields now recognised

MOST PROFITABLE MINE IN AUSTRALIA

  • Fosterville goldmine, Victoria; Kirkland Lake finally unlocked the secret to the gold mineralisation
  • Gold first found 1894 – mined from near surface – 28,000 ounces, 1930 – 2015 small scale – varied small scale mining until 
  • 2015 – 2020 is the lowest cost and largest profit margin mine – big news! 

Potential Undiscovered similarities to Victorian slate belt, with a huge difference in exploration and mapping – what are we missing? Let’s find out.  

What we notice about the Palmer and Hodgkinson Goldfields?

What do we do? How do we explore?
Use gold to lead us to gold, in ways that have not been done before in the Goldfields and surrounds
Spend the time in the field 100% engaged in Gold discovery.
