Name: Moolart Well mine.

Location: The mine is located within the Duketon gold project, about 350 km north-north-east of Kalgoorlie, in Western Australia.

Mine Owner/s: Regis Resources.

Brief Description: The Moolart mine is part of the Duketon North Operations, which includes the Gloster, Anchor, Dogbolter and the Petra gold mines.

Brief History: Regis Resources completed development of the Moolart Well mine in the September 2010 quarter on time and within budget.

Primary Metals/Minerals: Gold.

Secondary Metals/Minerals: None stated.

Geology/Mineralisation: The Moolart Well deposit is a large oxide gold deposit, situated within a deeply weathered Archaean ultramafic-mafic volcanic sequence above the base of weathering, at about 70 m vertical depth. Primary gold-sulphide mineralisation exists within quartz lodes and alteration zones beneath the weathered zone in fresh rock.

The deposit comprises a flat-lying laterite zone developed in an iron-rich weathering hard cap, and a deeper oxide zone developed in clays.

Reserves: Total proven and probable reserves as at March 31, 2021, were estimated at five-million tonnes grading 0.8 g/t gold.

Resources: Total measured, indicated and inferred mineral resources as at March 31, 2020, were estimated at 33-million tonnes grading 0.7 g/t gold.

Mining Method: Mining is conducted using truck-and-shovel excavation methods by Mining and Civil Australia.

Major Infrastructure and Equipment: The mine includes a nominal two-million-tonne-a-year throughput processing plant using a three-stage crushing circuit, a scrubber and a single ball mill, followed by gravity and carbon-in-leach circuits.

Prospects: Regis continues to actively explore within the significant oxide zones to add to the reserve base of the project.
