Sunday Creek Mine

‍Sunday Creek (then known as Clonbinane) is reported to have produced 41,000 oz gold at a grade of 33 g/t gold between 1880-1920 over a greater than 11-kilometre trend. The previously mined surface workings were shallow, the deepest shafts reaching only 180 metres down at their lowest point whilst the most recent drilling in the 1990's-2000's concentrated on oxide opportunities only down to 80 metres.

Redcastle Mine

Redcastle was discovered in 1859 (then known as the Balmoral Diggings) where mining continued to 1902. Total primary gold extracted from the Redcastle diggings was around 35,000 oz at 33 g/t gold. The maximum depth across the 24 historic mining areas and 17 kilometres of mineralised veins at Redcastle was only 125 metres. Modern exploration before the arrival of Southern Cross Gold comprised of rock chip sampling, soil geochemical surveys and very shallow drilling for an average depth of only 40 metres.

The trend at the three properties? High-grade historic workings but untested at depth!

The Victorian goldfields have entered a new golden age. Through the use of modern technology, exploration companies such as Southern Cross Gold are returning exceptional results at prospects that have never before been drilled to depth such as those in our portfolio.

Through disciplined and methodical uses of exploration technology, Southern Cross Gold is successfully finding high grade gold and antimony mineralisation at its properties in the Melbourne Zone of central Victoria.
