The Ashburton Project comprises eight granted exploration tenements and one granted prospecting license covering ~510 km2 and is located on Ashburton Downs Station, ~75 km SW of Paraburdoo in the Pilbara Region of Western Australia. It is easily accessed via a series of station tracks from the Ashburton Downs Station Road.

Project Geology

The project area is underlain by Proterozoic sedimentary rocks of the Ashburton Basin, a WNW to ESE trending basin of folded sediments that includes siltstone, sandstone, shale and carbonate units within the project area. Throughout the Ashburton Basin, abundant Gold and Base Metal occurrences, including the Mt Olympus Gold Deposits located ~100kms to the west, are spatially associated with major WNW to ESE-trending fault and fold structures. Several of these regional mineralisation-controlling fault structures traverse the project area, with multiple faults converging in the south of the project near the major lithospheric domain boundary with the Edmund Basin to the south.
