Vertex Minerals (ASX:VTX) is a near-term gold producer in one of the highest-grade, if not the highest-grade, gold mining districts in Australia. The company is advancing its Reward gold mine, scheduled to commence production in January 2025, with a current mineral resource estimate of 419,000 tonnes at a high-grade of 16.7 grams per ton (g/t) gold for 225,000 oz contained gold.

The Reward gold mine is committed to sustainable, low-impact, low-cost operations through the use of gravity separation technique, which has been hailed as one of the more sustainable alternatives for ore recovery. Gravity technology reduces the use of harsh chemicals, resulting in a more environmentally friendly extraction process. Among its other benefits include, reduced power consumption, faster and efficient processing, lower operating costs, and improved recovery rates.

The Hill End gold project is a historic gold mining town in the Bathurst Regional Council in New South Wales. The Hill End trough is a 70 km-wide and more than 200 km long, deep marine basin that is underlain by Ordovician volcanic rocks that lie between the Molong Volcanic Belt to the west and the Rockley-Gulgong Volcanic Belt to the east. Both these volcanic belts belong to the Ordovician Macquarie Arc in the Lachlan Fold Belt of eastern Australia.

Vertex Mineral plans to reinstall a refurbished 110 ktpa Gekko gravity gold plant, commence gold production from existing stockpiles and develop the Reward mine.
