PHCCI Explores De Grey Mining’s Hemi Gold Project Site

We would like to extend a massive Thank You to the De Grey Mining team for hosting us today on the Hemi Gold project site. An early start with Natalie and Gabby from Hedland, where we met Shane at the Wingina camp and headed off to the drilling sites.
De Grey is rapidly growing one of Australia’s most exciting new gold discoveries at Hemi within the 1,500km2 Hemi Gold Project.
The Hemi discovery is an intrusion-hosted form of gold mineralisation new to the Pilbara region and shows a scale of mineralisation not previously encountered in the Mallina Basin. Gold mineralisation at Hemi is hosted in a series of intrusions associated with stringer and disseminated sulphide rich zones.
The high value of the discovery is driven by its size, grade continuity and growth potential. Hemi has a mineral estimate of 10.5Moz and the potential to be mined by large scale, low strip ratio, low cost open pit mining. Hemi currently comprises six main zones – Aquila, Brolga, Crow, Diucon, Eagle and Falcon. The PHCCI team were able to see where the gold pits will be situated and speak with the drillers. Seeing the drilling , cutting and testing process was absolutely incredible and geologist Nicole was a wealth of knowledge.
The Project is located within 60 minute drive from the ports and regional centres of Port Hedland and Karratha. The region is rich with critical infrastructure to support a future mining operation including two major sealed highways that run within 20km of the Hemi discovery, a gas pipeline located 5km and 20km from Hemi, and a major 220kV electricity transmission line which also lies within 20km of Hemi. The project is also in the same region as the Asian Renewable Energy Hub currently being developed by a consortium led by BP.
Thank you again for the fabulous DeGrey hospitality, delicious lunch and incredible site visit.
