Fiddlers Creek
Gold was first found at Fiddlers creek in a small gully that came down out of the ranges in the mid 1850’s. The Percydale field has historically produced over 700,000 ounces of gold, predominantly from the alluvial deposits. The Fiddlers Creek site has been operated intermittently ever since. 4000 to 6000 tons of quartz was extracted in the early stages of mining which averaged approximately 1 oz /t Au. (Head Grade)
In recent times only minor tonnages were processed. The existing workings consist of several shafts developed to approximately 60 meters depth and three development / stoping levels.
Approximately 200m in strike of reef has been exposed in these operations.
Core prospecting gained control of the project in 2015 and worked though the approval process to develop the mineral resource, complete metallurgical test work and then gained mining approvals, the mining development for the current Decline began in August 2024.
