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.

A comprehensive study identified the Tigerway decline – a new access built from the surface – as the optimal long-term infrastructure solution for the Co-O Mine. The Tigerway is expected to not only enable efficient mining at deeper levels, but also facilitate further exploration.

The Deed Administrator has continued to investigate the events leading up to the Company entering into administration.

The Case is part of the previously disclosed dispute over, amongst other things, the ownership of the 60% of Philsaga Management and Holdings Inc (PMHI) not held by the Ten Sixty Four Ltd., and various legal claims filed in the Philippine Courts.

2024 production data has not been available.

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.
