Chico it is in the middle of nowhere. New gold plants are very expensive, so you will need a major find with a decent mine life to attract a financier. Check out Doray if you want to find out more about new gold discoveries in the area, new plant cost and funding.

There is no way you could affordably truck ore to RNI's plant. Even RNI is not even thinking about that with the closer jorced gold it will have if and when it acquires that asset from MZM at Peak Hill. It will be heap leaching it first and then transporting a solution.

As for being another Sandfire as has been posted here, the very best of luck with that! That's a (possibly) vms cu/au deposit, with oxide gold on top of the copper. And no-one has found anything like it since.
