What We Are Doing

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 and ranks fourth among the Queensland goldfields. 
  • Estimated total gold production of 1,334,500 oz alluvial.
  • 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
  • Epithermal system with an alteration zone of 18.8km with historical working throughout.

How We Are Doing It.

  • Sediment water sampling.
  • Drone Mapping & Modelling
  • detectORETM Soil geochemistry sampling 
  • Geophysical Resistivity surveys 
  • Modern fine sediment stream sediment surveys in-line with the CSIRO
