Plutonic Gold Mine
The Plutonic Gold Mine is located approximately 300 kilometres northeast of Meekatharra in the mid-west region of Western Australia, at the northern end of the world class Eastern Gold Fields Province.
The Project sits on 45 granted mining leases with >40 kilometres in strike length along the Plutonic-Marymia Gold Belt, which extends from the Plutonic Gold Mine in the southwest to the Trident deposit in the northeast. Catalyst consolidated the belt in 2023 following the successful acquisition of Vango Mining and the merger with Superior Gold Inc.
Production ore is presently sourced from the Plutonic Main underground mine. Catalyst intends to bring a number of satellite deposits into production during 2024 and 2025. One of these is expected to be the Trident deposit, a high-grade deposit located to the northeast of the Plutonic operations.
Trident Gold Deposit
The Trident deposit is located approximately 25km to the north-east of the Plutonic Gold Mine and the planned development in 2024 has been made possible by the recently completed consolidation of the Plutonic Gold Belt.
In addition to Trident, a number of other prospects and partially mined deposits will be investigated as future ore sources, including K2 and Salmon.
Despite some shallow open pit mining by prior owners in the 1990’s and 2000’s, the tenements have been underexplored over the past 20 years and many areas within the overall tenement package have not been effectively tested with exploration. Large parts of the tenements have not had any drilling to greater than 100m depth.
