VENTURE Minerals has made a significant gold discovery at its Kulin Project in WA.
This emerging province boasts a proven pedigree, hosting several major gold deposits such as Boddington (30moz), Edna May (2.2moz), Katanning (1.2moz) and Tampia (0.7moz).
Venture initially carried out surface sampling and mapping programs at Kulin to target nickel and platinum group element mineralisation.
But follow-up soil sampling uncovered a cluster of six high-grade gold in soil anomalies, comparable to the soil geochemical footprint of the 0.7moz Tampia Gold Deposit.
Managing Director Andrew Radonjic said Venture was also encouraged by the historic gold exploration work done by BHP which had already recognised Kulin as a gold target as it did for Tampia which, following Ramelius’ takeover, is now planning to mine in 2021.
