This project features a large mining lease pre-dating native title obligations, making it a strategic asset in Australia’s mining sector. {% endhint %} **Company Overview** PC Gold Ltd owns 100% of the Spring Hill Gold Project, located in the Pine Creek Orogen of the Northern Territory, Australia. The project is fully permitted for open-pit mining and sits on one of the largest mining leases in the area, which pre-dates native title obligations. The project contains a new JORC resource (MRE) of 828,000 ounces at 1.0 gpt Au at a 0.5 gpt cut-off, with potential to expand to over 1Moz. **Licenses and Validity** Spring Hill is fully permitted for open-pit mining operations. It includes ML23812, surrounded by the newly amalgamated EL 33234. The combined tenement package spans 9.2 km north-south and up to 5.5 km wide in parts. **Exploration Potential** The project hosts a JORC-compliant resource of 828koz Au at 1.0 gpt Au, with 431koz in the indicated category. Significant exploration targets along the northern strike have been identified, with further potential at depth and across the project area. **Feasibility Plans** Advanced metallurgical testing and economic evaluations highlight robust production potential. The mine plan incorporates three stages, with an estimated free cash flow of $390M and 403koz recoverable Au from open-pit and underground mining. **Mineral Resources and Reserves** Mineralization occurs across five main zones, with substantial coarse gold identified. Updated resource estimations (2023) indicate a total of 1Moz at 1.1 gpt Au when including screen fire assays, emphasizing its economic viability. **Basic Geological Characteristics** The project lies within the geologically rich Pine Creek region, featuring mineralized hills and granitic intrusions. Historical drill data and geophysical surveys confirm the presence of gold-bearing quartz veins and associated sulphide mineralization. **Mining Roadmap** PC Gold has a three-stage mining plan for the Spring Hill Project: 1. Stage 1 Open Pit: Targeting 2.98 Mt of ore at 1.01 gpt Au for 93,135 recovered ounces. 2. Stage 2 Open Pit: Extracting an additional 4.9 Mt of ore at 1.14 gpt Au for 172,492 ounces. 3. Stage 3 Underground Mining: Focused on 1.9 Mt of ore at 2.45 gpt Au, recovering 138,104 ounces. The roadmap includes key activities like environmental approvals, exploration, and infrastructure upgrades. **Community Commitments** PC Gold adheres to strict environmental regulations and actively addresses the protection of Ghost Bats in the area by establishing exclusion zones and proposing artificial habitats.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://asteroid-x-1.gitbook.io/asteroid-x-product-book/cooreated-projects/spring-hill-project-pc-gold.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
