Rover 1
The Rover 1 Project is poised to produce a range of downstream critical and precious minerals, including gold doré, 99% copper, 99% cobalt, and high-grade 96.5% magnetite. The Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS), completed on 5 December 2022, models an efficient underground mining operation with a modern 500,000 tonnes per annum (tpa) processing plant, specifically designed to produce high-value gold, copper, cobalt, and magnetite products.
Rover 1 Prospect
The 2020 drilling program at Rover 1 returned fantastic results including 30.4m @ 35.6 g/t Au and 1.46% Cu in Hole 20CRD001 which has changed the way we view the overall gold zone within the Jupiter lode. It revealed high grade “bonanza” gold zones of relatively concentrated dimensions. These are similar to the super-rich gold lenses historically mined in the Tennant Creek goldfields and require more intense drilling to validate their continuity due to the large value of gold and copper metal dependent on each intercept.
The incorporation of data collated in the 2020 drill season enabled a re-interpretation of the fluid pathways and a hypothesis that the Jupiter Deeps structure may actually be the depth extension of the Jupiter West orebody which in-turn continues at depth through to the Ganymede intercepts.
