Our Projects
Ora Banda’s Davyhurst Gold Project is located approximately 120 kilometres
north-west of Kalgoorlie, within the gold mining province of the eastern goldfields
in Western Australia.
The large land holding contains 67 granted tenements over 1,135km (Figure 1). The tenement area
covers the convergence of two regionally significant deep-seated structures, known as the Zuleika
Shear and the Ida Fault. Ora Banda operates a 1.2 million tonne per annum conventional carbon-in-
pulp processing facility, supported by extensive infrastructure and quality operations, including the
Riverina and Sand King underground mines.
The Company is pursuing its “DRIVE to 150” strategy and is well placed to achieve this with a
strong financial position, expanded exploration programs to extend mine life, and a commitment
to sustainable, long-term growth.
