North Queensland Metals (NQM) is pleased to announce that the Pajingo Joint Venture has agreed to acquire the Twin Hills gold operations from Gold One International for the sum of A$1,750,000. Twin Hills is located 190km by road south of the Pajingo operations. The consideration for the acquisition (100%) is to be made in a number of tranches – Signing Fee $200,000; Tranche1 $300,000; Tranche2 $500,000; Tranche 3 $750,000. The completion date is contingent upon primarily the assignment of the tenements.
North Queensland Metals is an Australian based and listed company with a focus on activities in north Queensland. It has a 60% interest, and is the manager of the Pajingo Gold Mine access. NQM aims to develop a second gold mine through an option over the Dotswood Project. The joint venture partners will embark on a feasibility study based on trucking ore to Pajingo for treatment. This may include additional drilling to expand its gold interests on its and subsequent modelling to suit a revised mine plan as a satellite mine. Trials in June have confirmed that the Pajingo mill could process up to 500,000tpa on a single mill, thus allowing approximately 200,000tpa. In addition to its gold operation, North Queensland Metals has a strategy of developing several mines in the Herberton area, west of Cairns, feeding ore to a central milling facility. The mineral field includes hundreds of historic tin and base metal mines with rich credit metals such as silver and indium.
