WA Southern Cross
Gold areas represent exploration licences.
Exploration at Southern Cross is focused on identifying higher grade deposits in proximity to the existing processing plant and infrastructure.
Marvel Loch
The Marvel Loch deposit comprises a number of steeply-plunging cylindrical-shaped quartz-veined lodes, with ore thicknesses from 4 to 30 metres wide. Vertical continuity of deposits is strong. An improved understanding of the ore body has lead to the recognition of new lodes positions, some of which have entered into production and others which remain under assessment.
Southern Cross Regional Exploration
The Southern Cross Greenstone Belt presents a range of exploration targets. The company is seeking to leverage off projects with a significant amount of drilling and a track record of past production. The Frasers and Copperhead mines were drilled in the first half of 2011 to examine the potential for further mineralisation around the old workings and evaluation continues on Nevoria. These projects do not currently have JORC-compliant datasets, but have been a source of significant past production with Frasers and Copperhead having produced in excess of 1.5 Moz from open cut and underground operations. Extensive refractory mineralisation is present at Transvaal, which is undergoing further metallurgical test work to assess its viability.
These projects and other targets will be evaluated for the potential to supplement existing production from Marvel Loch as satellite operations, or as future sources of long-term production.
