Golden Dragon Mining Ltd (GDR) was formed in 2022 to carry out the acquisition and exploration of mineral assets in Western Australia, with a focus on gold, nickel and critical mineral exploration. To date, the Company has acquired or otherwise applied for what the Board believes to be a highly prospective suite of tenements, comprising three (3) project areas which provide the Company with a strong foothold on two major mineral fields in Western Australia.
The Company's mineral assets comprise 100% legal and/or equitable interests in two (2) granted exploration tenements and two (2) mining lease tenements. The Company holds 80% legal and/or equitable interests in one (1) granted exploration tenement and two (2) pending exploration tenements. Investors should note that these mineral assets are prospective in nature, and they do not currently have any mineral resources or reserves as defined under the JORC Code.
The Company's priority exploration focus across its Projects includes:
CUE PROJECT
The Company acquired a 100% interest in two (2) mining leases in the Cue district and an 80% interest in one (1) granted exploration licence and two (2) exploration licence applications, covering approximately 600 square kilometres of greenstone sequences in the Meekaharra -Wydgee greenstone belt to the east of the township of Cue in the Murchison District of Western Australia.
The Cue Project district has a long history of major gold production with the famous early shallow mines nearby the town site, followed by the Great Fingall, Golden Crown, Big Bell, Day Dawn and Cuddingwarra in the surrounding district. The Murchison Region is well serviced by significant infrastructure associated with historical and current mining operations in the region and three processing facilities within 50 kilometres.
The Cue Project is along strike from the world class Big Bell gold mine and Cuddingwarra gold mine operated by Westgold as well as numerous other smaller mines.
The Cue Project covers approximately 40 strike kilometres of greenstones prospective for shear hosted gold and VMS style base metal mineralisation.
STELLA RANGE PROJECT
The Stella Range Project comprises one (1) granted exploration licence located in the NE corner of the Eastern Goldfields Province of the Archean Yilgarn Craton of Western Australia. The property lies ~120 km SE of the Laverton Goldfield (40 Moz Au) and ~100 km to the east of the Tropicana Gold field (10 Moz Au).
The Stella Range Project is situated in the Eastern Goldfields region of Western Australia. The Stella Range Project covers a greenstone belt hosted within an intracontinental rift basin setting. The area is largely covered by Permian glaciogenic sediments, which are subsequently overlain by a thin veneer of more recent sediments and aeolian sands.
The geological knowledge of the belt has previously been largely inferred from multielement soil geochemical surveys, gravity and magnetic data, and local verification from drilling. The regional knowledge is improving with new tectonic studies of the area by Government agencies, the ongoing recent exploration primary focus for the project area is gold, nickel and base metals with some rare earth potential.
NARNDEE FENCELINE PROJECT
The Narndee Fenceline Project comprises one (1) granted exploration licence which is centred on the boundary of two 1:250,000 Sheets: Kirkalocka (SG50-03) and Ninghan (SG50-07) which lies approximately 75 km to the south-east of Mt Magnet. Access to the tenements is via the Narndee West Road, the Paynes Find Sandstone Road or the Meeline-Narndee Road.
The Narndee Fenceline area encompasses the Narndee Layered Intrusive Complex, a part of the Windimurra Group of layered mafic intrusions within the Archean Yilgarn Craton. The Windimurra Complex is the largest layered intrusive system in Australia, covering approximately 2,350 km². The granted license (E59/2633) covers the eastern portion of the Narndee Intrusion or interpreted related intrusive bodies. The project area hosts a number of Cu-Ni-Zn and PGE prospects, which is a part of the Company’s strategy to target critical metals. Pegmatites untested for lithium have also been mapped within the area and also represents an unexplored critical metal that the Company intends to explore within the Narndee Fenceline Project.
It is anticipated that GDR will list on the ASX during October 2025.
