Targetco owns a 100% interest (subject to a 2% NSR) in two prospective silver-zinc projects in Australia, being the Tyr Silver Project and the Century South Silver-Zinc Project.
The Silver Projects
- Tyr Silver Project in northern New South Wales has two historic silver mines - Burra and Torny - with potential for high-grade silver zinc-lead-tin mineralization.
The Tyr Silver Project covers an area of approximately 300 km2 in Northern New South Wales comprised of minimal use, hilly pastoral land, mostly cleared and lightly forested.
The tenement was granted in March 2018 and is due for renewal in March 2024.
The Tyr Silver Project delivers upside potential with mineral occurrences apparent along a north-west trend with numerous old workings both along this trend and possibly others.
Notably, the north-west trend is part of a large-scale mineralized system that includes the historic silver mines, which materially boosts exploration upside.
Century South Silver-Zinc Project in the Mt Isa Basin, north-west Queensland, which is under-explored but in a highly prospective region and is along strike from one of the world's largest silver-zinc mines.
Century South lies approximately 8 km south east of the New Century Zinc Mine and is around 250 km2 in size, comprised of hilly, open savannah country.
The tenement was granted in October 2018 and is due for renewal in October 2023.
Both projects are located near established mining infrastructure & accessible port, whilst Australia is a stable, well-regulated, mining jurisdiction.
