David Lenigas-chaired Rincon has previously caught the eye for its ground holding in the West Arunta region, where a major niobium and rare earths discovery by WA1 Resources (ASX:WA1) inspired a land rush a couple years ago.
But as gold prices eclipse US$2900/oz and investors train their eyes on opportunities to make the kind of outsized gains only small caps deliver in the precious metals space its activities near the Telfer gold mine are pulling in the punters.
Up 70% YTD, the junior holds two deposits south of the massive Telfer gold mine – Hasties Main and Hasties Southeast – where a maiden JORC 2012 resource estimate is due by the end of February. An exploration target is going to be compiled for the two Hasties deposits, along with the Frenchman’s and Kurilli Hill prospects, as an added bonus.
There’s just about no better place to be. Greatland Gold just took over the Telfer gold mine – vintage around 50 years old – from Newmont in a US$475m deal.
It owns the high grade Havieron underground deposit, the future lynchpin of the operation.
But at under 3Mtpa and 258,000ozpa of gold on current studies, it’s got Buckley’s chance of filling the project’s 20Mtpa milling capacity.
