The Jaurdi Gold Project overlies a portion of the Bali Monzogranite immediately adjacent to the Jaurdi Hills-Dunnsville greenstone sequence, which in the south hosts the Jaurdi Hills mining centre and the Dunnsville mining centre towards the north. The Bali Monzogranite and Dunnsville Granodiorite/Doyle Dam Granodiorite to the north, together occupy the core of a gently north plunging anticline. M16/529 is located to the west of the anticlinal axis and immediately adjacent to the granite-greenstone contact.

The Bali Monzogranite is poorly exposed. The greenstone-granite contact is foliated where exposed. Shear zones developed locally within the adjacent greenstones, may continue within the granite. Gold mineralised palaeochannels are known in the Jaurdi Hills area, particularly to the west and south of the Jaurdi Hills mining centre.

Lost Dog
The Lost Dog tenements (M16/529, E16/469 & P16/2925 &2926), which make up the southern parts of the Jaurdi Gold Project, are located close to the western margin of the Bali Monzogranite immediately to the south east of the exposed Jaurdi Hills greenstone sequence. The tenements are entirely soil covered, with well-developed nodular carbonate increasing in intensity southwards towards an active contemporary drainage.

Recent drilling programs have revealed an extensive system of Au-bearing sand channels indicating that a major long-lived palaeo-alluvial system was present in the area. A typical prof ........

Mining method at the Jaurdi Project is conventional open-pit. Beacon has moved to an owner operator model.

Mine Sequence:
- Lost Dog Panel 3 (completed)
- MacPhersons – A-Cap
- Tycho
- Black Cat South.
- Geko to be mined in 2025 but schedule to be finalised

Mining in the Lost Dog pit was completed in early August 2023, being 5 years after the start of mining. Open pit crews commenced rehabilitating the Lost Dog waste dumps before being redirected to the MacPherson’s Reward project to commence clearing and grubbing in preparation for mining. Mining is utilising two sets of equipment owned by Beacon, with mining scheduled to commence at MacPhersons on the 1st November 2023.

Haulage of the Geko low grade stockpiles commenced in July 2023 and is currently 40% of the mill feed blend.

Lost Dog
Mining method is conventional open pit with drill and blast, excavate, load and haul. The ore zone geometry coupled with the low stripping ratio 2.5 (waste) to 1 (ore) and maximum pit depth of 32.5m indicate that mining by conventional drill and blast and load and haul open pit mining methods is most suitable.

The mining fleet was assumed to be owner operated and comprised of articulated dump trucks, 90t class excavator and matching ancillary equipment.

Black Cat South
Mining method is conventional open pit with drill and blast, excavate, load and haul. The ore zone geometry coupled with ........
