In February 2022, Southern Cross Gold (via Clonbinane Goldfield Pty Ltd) signed a contract to acquire 300 acres of freehold land at the Sunday Creek Project, which was settled in mid 2022.
Southern Cross Gold views that owning the freehold land the better secures future surface access and create certainty for both the landowner and Company. Potential other use for the freehold land, such as renewable energy options, livestock grazing or agistment to help maintain the property has been considered, although there are no current plans for such additional uses.
