Name of the Project
Dalgaranga gold project.

Location
Dalgaranga greenstone belt, in the Murchison province of Western Australia.

Project Description
Spartan considers Dalgaranga one of the best gold development and production restart projects worldwide.

The project’s licences cover about 509 km2 in the prospective Murchison gold district.

The mine was initially commissioned in 2018 and comprises a fully established gold mine, an estimated 2.5-million-tonne-a-year carbon-in-leach processing facility, modern camp accommodation and an airstrip. 

The mine was initially commissioned in 2018 and comprises a fully established gold mine, an estimated 2.5-million-tonne-a-year carbon-in-leach (CIL) processing facility, modern camp accommodation and an airstrip. 

The mine was placed on care and maintenance in November 2022 to implement an operational reset designed to preserve the value of its extensive infrastructure and resource base while developing a new, sustainable operating plan.

This approach is underpinned by the exceptional high-grade Never Never gold deposit, which is situated 1 km from the existing CIL processing facility and the main openpit at Dalgaranga. The deposit comprises a current Joint Ore Reserves Committee-compliant mineral resource estimate of 1.49-million ounces at an average grade of 8.07 g/t gold.
