Welcome to Hill End Gold Limited - a strongly growing junior mining company listed on the Australian Stock Exchange and focused on mineral exploration, development and production. The Company has significant projects in Australia and Laos and has an active global acquisition strategy.
In Australia the gold development projects at Hill End include Reward, Red Hill and Hargraves. Reward will be trial mining and processing through a gravity plant early in 2008 and continuing high grade production to full scale expansion is anticipated during 2008/9.
Hill End Gold Board and Management have an excellent track record in building and operating significant projects and companies in Australia, Africa, North America and South East Asia.
Hill End Project:
- Increasing gold resources in huge system.
- Emerging production position.
The Hill End Project area includes tenements of 1,531 square kilometres covering near 100 kilometres of outcropping gold workings over the Hill End, Tambaroora, Hargraves and the Windeyer Goldfields, which together was one of the world's richest gold mining areas. Previous production from the Hawkins Hill deposit alone was about 425,000 ounces at an average grade of 10 ounces per tonne. The largest single specimen of gold ever mined, the Holtermann's Nugget containing 3,100 ounces of gold, was hoisted from Hawkins Hill in 1872.
Hargraves is the site of Australia's earliest gold reef mining in 1851, when large pieces of gold in quartz, containing up to 1,546 ounces, were discovered in quartz vein outcrops at Big Nugget Hill. Rich alluvial deposits were also mined in the Louisa, Daly and Meroo Creeks and many large nuggets were found, with the largest at 2,680 ounces of gold.
Underground development to bulk sample the new high grade Reward area has commenced from the Hawkins Hill workings. The Paxtons Zone at Reward is the initial target with JORC-compliant resources of 23,000 tonnes at 48g/t gold.
Lak Sao Project:
- Large project area along strike from Sepon.
- Numerous base and precious metal prospects
The Lak Sao Project in Laos is located on the Troungson Belt, which also hosts the giant US$15b Sepon copper-gold project operated by Oxiana Limited. The Lak Sao area has numerous base metal and precious metal anomalies identified by previous prospectors, which are to be explored for the first time. Approvals for the Lak Sao Project Mineral Reconnaissance and Exploration Agreement are currently being processed by the Laos government.
