NORTH BIRDS PROJECT
Mining (Underground - including longwall) project In The Greater Bendigo Council Area of Private ownership. A diamond drill hole was targeted through the known mineralisation to help confirm the geological interpretation form the original RC drilling. The structure was intercepted at 46m down hold and was 10m wide. Half core assays over this interval averaged 4.4 g/t gold. Three RC drillholes located 100m south of the known mineralisation intersected old stopes. This downgrades the potential to the south. Click for more details...

WOODS POINT GOLD PROJECT - MORNING STAR MINE
A project in the VIC Within Mansfield Shire. 2008 drilling at the former Morning Star Mine intersected 2 new highly mineralised zones (Kenny & Maxwell) around 250m from the surface. The resulting maiden total resource estimate (measured + indicated + inferred) came in at 4.6 million tonnes (Mt) for 910,000oz contained gold including 2Mt @11.2g/t underground resource for 726,000oz contained gold & 2.6Mt @ 2.1g/t of surface resource for 184,000oz. In 2009 a pilot mining program of the Maxwell Reef (average 12g/t gold) was underway to extract 3000t of ore. Access to the 217m deep reef to be via an exploration decline to be constructed from the existing Morning Star Mine main shaft between levels 8 & 9. An initial production rate of at least 50t per day anticipated. Other 2009 activity included refurbishment of Plats between levels 3 & 9, installing air & water services to Level 6 (Burn's Reef), laying of rail to level 4 (Dickenson's Stope) as well as power, pumping & mine communications upgrades. Further underground exploration included sampling at Level 6 (Dickenson's & Burn's Reefs) & the Morning Star adit (Age of Progress/Stackpoole Reef). Investigation underway on the main shaft winding mechanism to ensure it can cope with increasing production. Click for more details...
