Hill End is the richest gold field, per ton of ore crushed, in history, with the average grade recovered over 30 oz per ton.
639 lb Gold Nugget (world’s largest) mined
at Hill End in 1872 1997 production at Golden Gully produced
2 oz/ton at a depth of 190 feet along a 240 foot section of one 10” wide gold bearing reef. Mining ceased when miners broke into old workings
There is a total of 11 gold bearing reefs in this saddle reef formation
Past mining restricted to a depth of 250’ due to water flows which today are no problem
Gold reefs are known to extend to at least 1500’
Hill End Cont’dHill End Cont’dNSW, AUSTRALIA (Au)NSW, AUSTRALIA (Au)
Production Plan:
Sink a decline or vertical shaft initially to 600 ft. vertical
This will allow access to all 11 gold bearing reefs
Production target 200 tons per day for 400 ounces of gold
This will increase periodically due to patches of bonanza grade gold values (ie. Up to 20 ounces per ton in Cosmopolitan shaft – 1872 mine manager’s report)

3) Prospects D and D “A” (NT, Aus.) Define ore reserves on Prospect D and
D “A”. Prospect D “A” could be mined by
open cut from surface on high grade oxidised copper nickel to expose the underlying massive sulphide ore body (Prospect D)

Cost to feasibility, Prospect D “A” $1 million Australian
4) Whitewood Creek Reinstate joint venture with Barrick to
carry out original terms of Homestake agreement to develop and mine tailings
Or, lease the Barrick properties & Goldstake would mine the tailings for a cost of less than $100 US per ounce
Cost to feasibility, $2 million US
