Crawford Stage 1 oxide pit project, Australia


Name of the Project
Crawford Stage 1 oxide pit project.
Location
East of the Leonora township, in Western Australia.
Project Owner/s
Explorer and gold and nickel project developer Cavalier Resources.
Project Description
The project has probable reserves of one-million tonnes grading 0.91 g/t gold. Stage 1 has a project life of 18 months for total gold production of 23 467 recovered ounces.
Traditional truck-and-shovel operations and processing by heap leaching will be used to mine.
There remains significant upside in increased revenues and total project growth, owing to Stage 1 being constrained to the central oxide portion of the resource and the resource remaining open along strike and depth.
