Heritage surveys begin at Centurion

Aboriginal Heritage surveys have begun at Buxton Resources’ (ASX: BUX) Centurion project in WA.

The heritage survey comprises of members from the Parna Ngururrpa and Ngurra Kayanta traditional owner groups who speak for the land on which Centurion is located.

A helicopter is being used to help in the inspection of the drill sites and around 50km of access tracks.

Buxton chief executive Marty Moloney commented on the surveys.

“We’re very pleased to be working in partnership with the Parna Ngururrpa and the Ngurra Kayanta, the Native Title custodians of the land which hosts the Centurion project,” he said.

“We would also like to thank the survey team and Central Desert Native Title Services for their efforts in coordinating this survey.

“Buxton is building the relationships and setting the groundwork for our social licence to operate and Centurion and we’re making good progress toward drill testing this very exciting target.”

Centurion is one of the most compelling greenfields exploration drill targets in WA with recent discoveries in the region highlighting the potential for the area to host further tier 1 discoveries in Australia.

Results and advice from the heritage surveys are expected within six weeks.
