Copper mine project; the deposit was investigated in 2009 on the site of the historic Hillside Mine. Iron Oxide–Copper–Gold (IOCG) deposit.
A historic copper mine is located in the northeastern corner of the new project.
Copper-gold mineralisation (with associated minor low-grade uranium
mineralisation) on three separate structures, the Zanoni, Parsee and Songvaar faults.
Located NW of Pine Point and 13 km south of Ardrossan on the Yorke Peninsula.
