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

Surface mining activities concluded during the second quarter(FY2024).

The processing plant have successfully commissioned in FY24. Following a short ramp up period, the mill has consistently operated at the nameplate capacity.

In 2024, Bellevue has undertaken a scoping level study for a plant expansion to >1.5Mtpa. This study was completed shortly after the end of FY24 with the results indicating that a low capital intensity staged upgrade could be undertaken to expand processing capacity to 1.35Mtpa and then 1.6Mtpa 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.
