Manuka Resources purchased the Wonawinta project in late 2016 and acquired Mt Boppy Resources P/L the holder of the high grade historic Mt Boppy gold project, in mid 2019. The company commenced processing the remaining Mt Boppy gold ore in April 2020, becoming Australia’s newest precious metals producer.

The Wonawinta project is in a world-class mineral district, the Cobar Basin, an area tightly held with growing interest from advanced explorers and established producers.   It hosts some of the deepest and longest life mines in Australia. Wonawinta mining lease contains an estimated resource of 52 million ounces of silver and 236,000 tonnes of lead, predominately oxides. The 900km2 of surrounding exploration licences owned by the company will be subject to significant modern exploration in the near term.

This resource will be subject to an infill drill program in 2020 to produce near term reserves contemporaneously with a deeper program to test the extent of the mineralised base and precious metal sulphides. Whilst these drill programs on the mining lease are underway the Wonawinta plant will continue processing some 300,000+ tonnes of >3 g/t gold ore from the Mt Boppy mine; providing the company with early cashflow to underpin operations. Mt Boppy mine itself is a highly prospective exploration target for underground extensions under the planned pit floor and the various prospects on the surrounding exploration licence are an exciting opportunity for near term exploration.
