Background
Siren is a New Zealand focussed gold explorer, with two key projects in the upper South Island: Reefton (Reefton and Lyell goldfields) and Sams Creek (Figure 1).
Western New Zealand was originally part of Gondwana and lay adjacent to eastern Australia until around 80 Ma ago1. The NW of the South Island of New Zealand comprises an area of predominantly early Paleozoic rocks in broad northerly trending belts which terminate at the Alpine Fault (Figure 1). The Paleozoic sequence is divided into the Buller Terrane, Takaka Central and Takaka Eastern Belts.
These belts are interpreted to correspond with the Western, Central and Eastern belts of the Lachlan Fold Belt1. The Buller and Western Lachlan belts contain orogenic gold deposits like Bendigo, Ballarat and Fosterville in Australia and the Reefton and Lyell Goldfields in New Zealand. The Eastern Takaka and Eastern Lachlan belts host porphyry-Au and porphyry copper-gold deposits, like Cadia and Ridgeway, respectively.
There are two distinctive sub-types of orogenic gold mineralisation in Victoria. The deeper (6-12kms) mesothermal deposits that formed almost all the significant gold deposits in the Bendigo and Stawell zones and the shallower (<6km) epizonal gold and stibnite deposits in the Melbourne zone and eastern Bendigo zone, including the Fosterville and Costerfield mines. The latter gold mineralising event in Victoria is characterised by arsenopyrite and stibnite associated gold, which is very similar to the Reefton and Lyell mineralisation.
Siren holds a large (865km2), strategic package of tenements in the Reefton, Lyell and Sams Creek goldfields (Figures 28 and 29 and Annexure 1).
Siren’s Global Mineral Resource estimate now stands at 1.27Moz of gold and 8.7kt of antimony for 1.33Moz @ 3.3 g/t AuEq (100% basis) at a 1.5g/t cut-off.
