About the Mt Narryer Gold Project
The Mt Narryer Gold Project is located 300 KM northwest of Platina Resources’ Challa Gold Project. The Project is situated on the fringe of the YILGARN CRATON, a highly productive province for gold and base metals extraction. It covers an area of 165 SQUARE KILOMETRES. The Mt Narryer region has not been extensively explored for mineral deposits in the past because there is a LACK OF VISIBLE OUTCROPPING ‘GREENSTONES’ in the area. These greenstones are the host rocks for most of the gold and base metal deposits discovered in Western Australia.
