About the British King Gold Project
British King is a classic example of a Western Australian 'Orogenic Gold' deposit. The mineralization is an East-West oriented quartz vein reef hosted within mafic and felsic volcanics within the Norseman Wiluna greenstone belt. Drilling has shown that the ore body extends the entire span of the project tenement and depths well beyond those historically accessed.
The project area has a long history of successful gold mining with intermittent production for more than 100 years. Historically, mining was conducted through underground development feeding a number of small shafts. Two of these shafts have been expanded and modernized and will be used to access the underground workings.
