Location
Close to airport, rail, highway and gas pipeline.
The Rover Project sits near the Tennant Creek commercial airport, the Adelaide-Darwin railway, the Stuart Highway and the Amadeus natural gas pipeline. That infrastructure advantage remains central to the development case at Rover 1.
Opportunity
Iron Oxide Copper Gold style mineralisation.
The main mineralisation style is IOCG, a deposit type known to host large-scale economic copper and gold mineralisation such as Olympic Dam in South Australia and Candelaria in Chile.
The Rover Mineral Field is interpreted as a southern repeat of the Tennant Creek Mineral Field, which has historically produced ~157 t Au, ~345,000 t Cu, ~14,000 t Bi, ~220 t Se and ~56 t Ag from 130 mines.
