Gold Explorer Ordell Minerals Debuts on ASX after Raising $6M

The founding team behind gold miner Genesis Minerals returns, bringing an advanced WA gold and lithium exploration portfolio to market.

Ordell Minerals Limited (ASX Code: “ORD”) (“Ordell” or “the Company”) is pleased to advise that Ordell has listed on the ASX today, bringing to market a high-quality portfolio of exploration assets in Western Australia.


Highlights:

  • New gold explorer lists on ASX raising $6 million (30m shares at $0.20) (before costs).
  • Ordell’s key asset is an 80% interest in the Barimaia Gold Project, located in the Murchison region of Western Australia, which is an advanced gold exploration asset with significant historical drilling results.
  • Barimaia hosts an extensive and underexplored gold system, with historical RC drilling returning significant results including:1
    • 15m @ 11.4g/t Au from 74m
    • 17m @ 3.4g/t Au from 49m
    • 19m @ 1.5g/t Au from 18m
    • 5m @ 4.0g/t Au from 43m
    • 70m @ 0.7g/t Au from 59m
  • Ordell’s experienced board of directors includes former Genesis Minerals Limited (ASX:GMD) Chair Tommy McKeith and former Managing Director Michael Fowler.
  • Highly leveraged to exploration success, with a market capitalisation of ~$10m at listing.

The Company’s flagship asset is the Barimaia JV Gold Project (“Barimaia”), located in the Murchison region of WA, which represents an advanced exploration project with significant historical drilling results.

Ordell acquired its 80.2% interest in Barimaia from Genesis Minerals Limited (ASX: GMD) (“Genesis”), which is now a major shareholder of Ordell with an 8% shareholding upon listing. Barimaia was never systematically explored due to Genesis’ strategic focus on its assets in the Leonora region.

Ordell has reunited key members of the team that oversaw the significant growth of Genesis between 2016 and 2021, including former Genesis Chair Tommy McKeith and former Managing Director Michael Fowler, who will be working to progress the exploration of Barimaia.

Barimaia is located in a Tier-1 mining jurisdiction in close proximity to several gold processing plants, lying adjacent to Ramelius Resources’ Mt Magnet mill, 70km from Spartan Resources’ Dalgaranga mill and 80km from Westgold Resources’ Tuckabianna mill (see Figure 1).

Previous exploration by Genesis identified an extensive gold system at Barimaia, with historical RC drilling highlighting shallow open pit potential.

In addition to the Barimaia Project, Ordell also holds the Goodia Lithium Project, located in WA’s Kalgoorlie-Norseman lithium district about 50km south of Develop’s (ASX: DVP) Dome North lithium deposit, and the Fisher South Gold Project in the Laverton gold district.

Ordell Managing Director, Michael Fowler, said: “Having previously been closely involved in the exploration of the Barimaia Project in my past role as Managing Director of Genesis Minerals, I am looking forward to getting back on the ground at Barimaia.”

“Located in the heart of one of Western Australia’s most exciting gold districts, Barimaia lies within trucking distance of several gold processing plants, with past exploration confirming strong potential for a shallow Resource.”

“Given its location right on the doorstep of Ramelius’ Mount Magnet gold project, and with strong geological similarities to Eridanus which is currently being mined by Ramelius, our plan is to systematically drill the known 2.5km strike extent at Barimaia to target Eridanus type discoveries.”

“In addition to Barimaia, we also hold the earlier-stage Goodia Lithium Project and Fisher South Gold Projects, both of which offer exciting greenfields discovery opportunities.”

“I would like to thank everyone involved in Ordell’s Initial Public Offer process. In what is still a tough IPO market but with strong support from our shareholders, Lead Manager Argonaut and Legal Advisor Steinepreis Paganin, we were able to successfully complete the offer.”

Gold Price Hits New Record, Breaking US$3,300 for First Time
