Summary:
The gold mineralisation at Majestic and Imperial deposits is hosted by a quartz diorite stock on the western side of the regional scale Yindarlgooda Dome. Gold zones are characterised by open breccias, quartz veins and zones of foliation associated with pyrite + chalcopyrite + pyrrhotite, overprinting silicasericite alteration. The highest grade gold-copper zones at Imperial are characterised by a micro breccia sulphide fracture network fill with semi-massive sulphides that almost completely overprints the silicasericite alteration, in discrete zones that are up to 5m true width.
Summary:
Located 33km north north-west of the Randalls Mill.
Mining from the Majestic open pit commenced July 2016 and will continue until Q2 FY2018.
Ore production from the Imperial open pit is scheduled from Q2 FY2018.
