Placement $6 mio with directors anticipate offering non-renounceable entitlements issue expected at 1:10 (raise up to $4.26 mil) at $0.04 cents 21.5% discount to the close 5.1 and 16.6% discount to 10-day vwap $0.048..
Why ?
Highly prospective exploration play
Prospective areas outlined for further drilling success, drilling underway at high probability targets – See last two announcements
Large scale 2.6M oz of resource, 1.1M oz is free milling
Resource Target of +3M oz
Recent Zoro results indicate a larger UG resource >500,000oz
Drilling results to come from Mulwarrie and Aphrodite
Grades achieved at underground (Aphrodite) are high grades 5-6g/t Au, minimum production rate of 500,000 tonnes per annum.
The Aphrodite resource is open at depth, may deliver critical scale for the development of a milling solution for sulphide ores in the district
Underground ore is sulphide and refractory (Aphrodite only)- metallurgical recovery although test work using the Albion process has been successful
Albion metallurgical process is cheaper than higher tech Pressure Oxidation (both capex and opex), ability to design optimal mill for the ore
Bardoc Gold’s EV/Oz of resource is cheap vs other gold development peers <$20oz
Acquisition or corporate transaction potential - potential mill feed from open cuts < 20kms from Paddington able to be treated with standard CIP, Paddington mill has already treated Zoroatsrian open pit ore.
Feasibility work on going for standalone development
