SnapshotThe Bellevue Gold Project is a high-grade gold mine, focused on delivering low cost, high margin and low carbon emission intensity gold production.

The first 20 MW of 27 MW solar farm were successfully commissioned in 2024, which is forecast to be the sixth largest solar farm in Western Australia.

The processing plant have successfully commissioned in FY24. Following a short ramp up period, the mill has consistently operated at the nameplate capacity and shown a proven capability to operate more, which it did at times during the second half of FY24.

Bellevue plans to expand processing capacity over a two-year period.

Summary:

The Bellevue Project is located within the Agnew-Wiluna portion of the Norseman-Wiluna Greenstone belt, approximately 40 km NNW of Leinster. The project area comprises felsic to intermediate volcanic sequences, meta-sediments, ultramafic komatiite flows, Jones Creek Conglomerates and tholeiitic meta basalts (Mt Goode Basalt) which hosts the known gold deposits.

The major gold deposits in the area lie on or adjacent to north-northwest trending fault zones.

The Bellevue gold deposit is hosted by the partly tholeiitic meta-basalts of the Mount Goode Basalts in an area of faulting, shearing and dilation to form a shear hosted lode style quartz/basalt breccia.

Gold mineralisation in the area is structurally controlled and is generally associated with north-northwest striking and west dipping shear zones (dipping from 900 to 450), of 1 to 20 metre thickness. The exceptions are the Viago Lode, which is a low angle shear zone between 300 and 500 metres below surface which gently plunges to the south, and the Westralia and Vanguard lodes, which dip 450 to the north-east.
