TIMS FIND MINING TARGET FOR COMMENCEMENT OF MINING OPERATION
In July 2019 the Company released the Mt Ida Scoping Study, which assessed the Bottle Creek Gold Project's Emu, Southwark, Boags and VB resources, Quinn's Mining Project's Boudie Rat and Forrest Belle resources and the Tim's Find Prospect resources. The study resulted in various resources forming the basis of a potential robust low-cost open pit mining project, as released to the market in July 2019 Scoping Study. Subsequent work, and engagement with Blue Cap, has led to the recognition that Tim's Find provides the company with an opportunity for early cash flow without the initial capital requirement associated with the processing plant outlined in the Scoping Study.
In February 2020 the Company upgraded the Resource Estimate which included an increase in resource at Tim's Find, which now stands at a JORC 2012 Measured and Indicated Resource of 535,000t @ 2.13g/t Au for 36,700oz Au and is held on the granted mining lease M29/421, which is owned 100% by MGK Resources Pty Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.
