Snapshot	The Geko Pit was mined in 2018-2021. Open pit mining ceased in 2021 due to water management issues and a wall failure in the south-west corner of the pit. There are substantial low-grade stockpiles remaining from previous mining. Cartage of Geko ore stockpiles to the Jaurdi Mill commenced in July 2023. Open pit mining at Geko was scheduled for 2026 but Geko project start date uncertainty due to Miscellaneous tenement delayed approval.

Deposit type

• Metamorphic

Summary:

The Geko gold deposit is hosted by mafic rocks which have been altered and deformed to a sericite- quartz-biotite-hornblende schist. The schist overlies an ultramafic sequence, with shear hosted gold occurring at or near the contact which strikes east-west and dips 60° to the south. Mineralisation dips approximately 45°.

Mineralisation at the Geko project is orogenic, structurally controlled gold mineralisation with a supergene overprint. The deposit is approximately 50 m wide with a strike length of 500 m.

Gold mineralisation is present in mafic schists and ultramafic host rocks, with an upper weathered zone of saprolite and mottled laterite mineralisation. The weathered saprolite and laterite mineralisation is overlain by a mineralised paleochannel. The paleochannel is the shallowest mineralised unit of the deposit and is approximately 15–20 m below ground level.

Dimensions
The Geko deposit mineralisation is bound within a 920 m(E) × 460 m(N) area and 360 m(RL) extent. Across- strike widths vary from 1 m to <40 m.
