Gold & Silver Production

At Mineral Jackpot, Great Western has over 50 spoil heaps left from five adjacent and connected historical mines which produced gold and silver in the late nineteenth/early twentieth century.

The recently upgraded 14 km road to the site will enable a 20-ton dumper truck to load spoil material from this mountainous area.

In November 2022 Great Western announced the results of an independent initial Mineral Resource Estimate for the Olympic Gold Tailings project as well as Exploration Targets for stockpile and spoil material at the Olympic Gold Project and Mineral Jackpot Project. All resources and exploration targets are reported in accordance with the JORC code (2012). The announcement can be viewed here.

At Olympic Gold, three sources of waste material have been identified for reprocessing, close to the high-yielding OMCO gold mine where operations ceased during the Second World War:

• Tailings
• A stockpile of mined material never previously processed
• Substantial spoil heaps
