Comet Gold Project
Located approximately 115 km south-southwest of Meekatharra and 20 km southeast of Cue, the Comet Gold Project comprises 5 granted exploration licenses and 2 exploration application licences covering 269Km2 (Figure 1).
The Comet Gold Project is situated in the Murchison Gold Province, a renowned gold-producing region producing more than 30 Moz of historic production. Notable gold mines within the vicinity of the project include Big Bell, Cuddingwarra, Day Dawn and Tuckabianna.
The Comet Mine Road provides access to the central and southern parts of the licence from the great Northern Highway.
Figure 1: Comet Project tenure and location
The project lies immediately to the north and along strike of Westgold’s Comet gold mine and covers part of the Meekatharra to Mount Magnet Greenstone belt, located at the southern end of the Tuckabianna Shear Zone.
Gold intersections at Comet East confirm a robust geological model extending gold mineralisation down dip and along strike. Significant results include:
