The British King Mine is located approximately 320km north of Kalgoorlie in Western Australia. The project is well serviced with roads and utility infrastructure due to its proximity to the towns of Leinster and Leonora as well as the nearby Darlot Gold Mine.
British King is a classic example of a Western Australian ‘Orogenic Gold’ deposit. The mineralization is an East-West oriented quartz vein reef hosted within mafic and felsic volcanics within the Norseman Wiluna greenstone belt. Drilling has shown that the orebody extends the entire span of the project tenement and depths well beyond those historically accessed.
The project area has a solid mining pedigree with intermittent production for more than 100 years. Historically, mining was conducted through underground development feeding a number of small shafts. 2 of these shafts have been expanded and modernised and are currently used to access the underground workings.
BKGM is maximising shareholder value by implementing a combination of the company’s innovative processing technique and historical and modern mining methods in conjunction with cutting edge technologies.
