Unearthing Potential: Horizon Gold’s Flagship Project

Horizon Gold Limited is strategically focused on the exploration and potential advancement of the Gum Creek Gold Project. Situated in the historically rich Murchison region of Western Australia, this project represents a significant chance to tap into a proven gold-producing area.

A Strategic Location in the Yilgarn Craton

The Gum Creek Gold Project is located approximately 640 kilometers northeast of Perth. Access to the site is facilitated by unsealed roads via Sandstone, Meekatharra, and Wiluna.The project encompasses the Gum creek Greenstone Belt, a key geological feature within the southern Cross province of the Youanmi Terrane, itself a part of the ancient Yilgarn Craton in Western Australia. This region is renowned for its geological stability and mineral wealth.

Extensive Exploration Portfolio: Beyond kingfisher

Horizon Gold’s exploration efforts extend beyond the well-known Kingfisher deposit. The company is actively investigating several promising sites, including:

• Swan and Swift
• The Wilsons Gold Deposit
• The Howards Deposit
• Omega North and Omega south/PSI
• The Heron South Deposit
• The Specimen Well Gold Deposit
• Areas with high copper-zinc potential

This diversified approach aims to maximize the potential for significant gold discoveries within the Gum Creek project area.

kingfisher Deposit: A Key Component

The Kingfisher deposit, located just 3.5 kilometers south of existing open-pit mines and the main Gum Creek system, is a focal point of Horizon Gold’s exploration activities. Its proximity to existing infrastructure and known gold mineralization makes it a especially attractive target.

The Broader Context: Gold Exploration in Western australia

Western Australia continues to be a global hotspot for gold exploration and mining. According to recent data from the Department of Mines, Industry Regulation and Safety (DMIRS), gold production in the state remains robust, contributing considerably to the Australian economy. Projects like Gum Creek play a vital role in sustaining this industry and creating employment opportunities in regional areas.

Western Australia’s gold sector is a cornerstone of our economy, and we are committed to supporting responsible exploration and development.
