Edjudina Gold Project, WA - Permitting Application to Mine Neta Prospect Lodged

Gibb River Diamonds Limited (ASX:GIB) has announced Edjudina Gold Project, WA - Permitting Application to Mine Neta Prospect Lodged.
  • Gibb River Diamonds Limited (‘GIB’ or the ‘Company’) is pleased to announce that a Mining Proposal covering the Edjudina Gold Project (GIB 100%) has been lodged with the West Australian Mines Department (DEMIRS)
  • The aim of the ‘Mining Proposal For Small Mining Operations’ is to permit mining of the Neta Prospect, part of the Edjudina Gold Project, which is on granted mining lease M31/495
  • The Indicated and Inferred Resource JORC resource at the Neta Prospect is 378,000 tonnes @1.9 g/t for 24,000 Oz Au and includes an Indicated Resource of 110,000 tonnes @ 2.2g/t for 8,000 Oz Au1
  • It is the primary focus of GIB to mine or otherwise monetise this Neta resource as soon as is practicable. The lodging of this Mining Proposal is an important step forward in achieving this aim
  • Once granted, the Mining Proposal will permit for a Mine and Haul operation to be conducted at the Neta Gold Prospect, using toll treatment at a third-party mill (pending commercial contracts). This is the Company’s current priority.
  • The Company is currently communicating with the WTAC Native Title group to finalise a date for a heritage survey to be conducted at the Edjudina Project. It is anticipated that this heritage survey will take place sometime in April 2025. This survey will assist in facilitating both mining at the Neta Prospect and the drilling of new exploration targets in the Company’s recently acquired and highly prospective mining lease M31/481, adjacent to the proposed Neta mining area
  • Discussions are ongoing with various West Australian groups which specialises in mine, haul and toll milling gold operations

NB: it is anticipated that subsequent to the commencent of mining, from time to time, that additional permitting will be required at Edjudina. It is not the intention of GIB to report to the ASX permitting applications, or re-submissions, which the Company does not consider to be material, but are a routine part of permitting mining operations.
