Lake Roe Gold Project (100%)

The Lake Roe Gold Project (LRGP) is located approximately 100km east of Kalgoorlie. On 20 December 2021, Breaker released an updated JORC 2012 Mineral Resource Estimate for the LRGP containing a total (all JORC categories) of 1.7 million ounces (32 million tonnes at 1.6g/t Au). The resource estimate was prepared and signed off by expert industry consultants, Snowden Optiro. There are three main deposits defined in the overall resource:

1. The Bombora Prospect: 25 million tonnes at 1.8g/t Au containing 1.5 million oz;
2.The Claypan Prospect: 2 million tonnes at 1.1g/t Au containing 69,000oz;
3.The Crescent Kopai Prospect: 4 million tonnes at 1.0g/t Au containing 132,000oz.

The majority of the open-pittable resource is classified in the Indicated resource category, whilst the majority of the primary mineralisation (minable from underground) is classified in the Inferred category due to drill density.

The gold resources at Lake Roe are already on a granted mining lease and have a clear development pathway. Environmental, geotechnical, hydrological and metallurgical studies undertaken to date do not highlight any impediments to development (ASX Release 30 June 2019). Most of the Company’s pre-mining studies are at pre- feasibility level.

Editor's Picks: Gold Knocks Out Inflation-Adjusted High, Silver Breaks US$42

Gold's record-setting price run continued this week, with yet another new all-time high in the books. Silver also fared well, breaking US$42 per ounce.

According to Bloomberg, gold has now also surpassed its inflation-adjusted all-time high of US$850 per ounce, which it set more than 45 years ago on January 21, 1980. The news outlet notes that at the time the US was dealing with currency issues, inflation and recession concerns.

These are problems that sound all too familiar today. This week brought the release of the latest US consumer price index (CPI) data, which shows a 0.4 percent month-on-month increase for the all-items index — that's ahead of estimates and the most since the start of 2025.
