RE: Juno Gold deposit could be lot bigger than Havieron24 Dec 2025 22:37
AI Overview
The primary similarities between the Havieron gold deposit and the Juno project are their shared geological characteristics and exploration models in the Paterson Province of Western Australia.
Geological Setting:
Both are located in the same geological domain within the Paterson Province.
Mineralisation Style:
Both are targeted as, or confirmed to be, Intrusion-Related Gold Systems (IRGS) and potentially Iron Oxide Copper-Gold (IOCG) deposits.
Geophysical Signatures:
Both deposits are associated with a strong, discrete magnetic anomaly.
Both also exhibit a coincident residual gravity anomaly. The alignment of these features is a typical signature of the Havieron-style mineralisation that GEO Exploration is targeting at Juno.
Under Cover:
Both deposits sit under significant cover, meaning that geophysical methods, rather than surface exploration, were necessary for their discovery and assessment.
Exploration Expertise:
The same geologist, Callum Baxter, who was a founding director of Greatland Gold (which discovered Havieron), is involved as a consultant and part-owner in the Juno project, applying a similar exploration model that proved successful at Havieron.
A key difference is the scale, as initial modelling suggests Juno's magnetic anomaly is significantly larger (several times the size) than Havieron's footprint, though Havieron is a proven, high-grade deposit with defined resources, while Juno is still in the early exploration drilling phase.
