Coverage stock Barton Gold (ASX: BGD) has pushed the gold resource base at its 100%-owned Tunkillia Project in South Australia to 1.493 million oz (51.3Mt @ 0.91 g/t Au), with a new 115,216 oz Au Mineral Resource at Area 51 (4.98Mt @ 0.72 g/t Au). It represents the third Tunkillia JORC update in ~12 months, adding ~530,000oz Au for ~A$15/oz (on ‘all in’ basis). Approximately 55% of the resource is classified within the ‘Indicated’ category. In terms of next steps, BGD's 2024 exploration campaign will be focused on high-grade neighbouring targets at Tunkillia and Tarcoola, as well as moving towards a Scoping Study for the project. BGD maintains 100% ownership of the only regional gold mill, which gives it optionality around project development, where it is likely to target an initial 2Moz Au Resource and annualised production of ~150koz, with interim production options including leveraging its mill to treat higher-grade Tunkillia ore, and toll-treatment of regional ore. #gold #commodities #mining #resources #exploration #equities #ausbiz
