STRATEGY
Our strategy is to systematically acquire and explore in premier terranes;
aiming to address the rapid decline in tier-1 scale discoveries worldwide
Exploration Expenditures and Primary Gold discovered globally
Tier-1 scale discoveries
(>US$1bn NPV) now
represent only ~2% of all
discoveries worldwide;
Only one in Australia in
last 10 years (Swan Zone
at Fosterville)
Declining trend
Peaks in discoveries precede the peaks in exploration spend. So the best time to get in [to
explorers], is when exploration spend bottoms out and starts rising… which is now!
