SnapshotThe Co-O project is an operating gold mine with all of the appropriate regulatory permits to allow underground mining, haulage and processing of ore material, and storage of tailings.

In mid-June 2023, the Company’s Board of Directors resigned, and a new Board was established on 19 June 2023.

The newly appointed Board commissioned a detailed financial analysis of the X64 Group’s business and identified that prior to its appointment, circumstances arose involving a dispute concerning the alleged transfer of ownership of a 60% interest in X64’s subsidiary Philsaga Mining Corporation (“PMC”). Whilst this dispute continued, X64 has no guarantee of continued income from PMC to support its operations.

Whilst the Administrators are conducting their assessment of the Company’s operations, the Company’s business will continue to operate under the control of the Administrators.

Deposit type

  • Epithermal
  • Vein / narrow vein

Summary:

The Co-O deposit is an intermediate sulphidation, epithermal gold (+Ag ±Cu±Pb±Zn) vein system. The deposit is located in the Eastern Mindanao volcano-plutonic belt of the Philippines. The overall Co-O project area comprises numerous anastomosing veins generally orientated east-west with steep and flat dipping inter-connected veins within a 0.5km x 2.0km area. Mineralisation extends from surface to approximately 850m below surface. The depth limit to mineralisation is not yet defined, with current limits being a function of geological plunge and lack of drilling.
