Errolls Gold Project
Barrambie Greenstone Belt
Western Australia
The Breakthrough Minerals’ Errolls Gold Project is located in Western Australia, halfway between Meekatharra and Sandstone in the East Murchison Mineral Field. It is a well-established, mining-friendly area with existing infrastructure, easy access to shipping ports and airports along sealed roads, and close to readily available skilled labour.
The Barrambie Greenstone Belt is well known for diverse mineralisation, including niobium, tantalum, titanium and vanadium. The area has a history of high-grade discoveries in multiple gold centres including Barrambie.
Project Highlights
Strategic location in prolific, underexplored gold belt:
- Situated in the Barrambie Greenstone Belt, part of the East Murchinson Mineral Field in Western Australia:
High-grade gold potential with historical production:
- Historic mining at Errolls Legacy produced 5,230oz at 17.6g/t Au
Shallow high-grade drill intercepts provides immediate drill ready targets:
- Includes historical intercept 22m at 7.46 g/t Au from surface. Average depth of RC drilling on tenure is only 34m
- Immediate walk-up drill targets adjacent to historic high-grade drilling results
Proximal to large Mineral Resources:
- Sandstone and Gum Creek Greenstone Belts nearby have significant resource endowments (Brightstar Resources ASX:BTR, Horizon Gold ASX:HRN)
- NeoMetals Limited’s immediately adjacent (ASX:NMT) Barrambie Gold Project has an Exploration Target of between 8Mt @ 1.3g/t Au - 10.5Mt @ 2.3g/t Au for 335k - 775k oz Au1
- Multiple additional targets around Errolls

Barrambie Greenstone Belt
- Barrambie Greenstone Belt is known for diverse mineralisation, including gold, niobium, tantalum, titanium and vanadium
- Narrow NNW trending greenstone belt comprising layered mafics and sediments
- Underexplored with limited systematic exploration over the last 25 years
- High Grade mineralisation - proven discovery of consistent +10g/t Au across varying styles of gold mineralisation with favourable metallurgy recoveries of +98% in standard leach and free gold of 23.5%
- Gold first discovered in 1905, with a long history of High-Grade discoveries in multiple gold centres (Errolls, Barrambie, Sugarstone, Scheelite)
- Mineralisation is generally found in massive laminated quartz veins that are flat lying, up to 20m thick and can contain very high grades
