Matilda Gold Project

Blackham has signed an agreement to acquire the Matilda Gold Project which covers over 600km2 of tenure, including
- Matilda Gold Mine
- Williamson Gold Mine
- Regents deposit
- Galaxy deposit
- Carrol Prior deposit and
- Mt Poole,  Monarch, Red Lady, Zenith, Island and Albion gold prospects

The Matilda Gold Project includes 40 km of strike along the Wiluna Mine sequence (Figure 1).  The adjacent Wiluna Mine operated by Apex Minerals has produced over 4 million ounces of gold from only 5km of the mine sequence.  Apex Minerals reported gold resources of 12.7Mt @ 5.4g/t au in their 2010 Annual Report.  The Company considers the ground to have strong prospectivity for hosting similar gold bearing structures to the Wiluna Mine. 

Blackham has also consolidated its position around the Matilda Mine, extending coverage over the prospective Coles Shear to over 10 km.

Previous regional exploration in the Wiluna district successfully delineated new oxide mineralised zones at Williamson South and Carroll Prior highlighting the potential for the Lake Way area to become a major gold district in the North Eastern Goldfields.  The wider, under explored Matilda Project now covers 600 km2 of the Wiluna Greenstone Belt and remains highly prospective for the discovery of new gold deposits.


Scaddan Energy Project

The Scaddan Energy Project is a joint venture between Blackham Resources Limited and Wesfarmers Resources Coal Limited which have 70% and 30% contributing interests respectively. 

Blackham and Wesfarmers Resources contribute proportionately to all costs incurred in furthering exploration and evaluating the development of the Coal to Liquids processing for the project.

The Scaddan Energy Project is located approximately 60 kilometres north of the town and port of Esperance in Western Australia.  The Project is 10 kilometres east of the Esperance to Kalgoorlie highway, gas pipeline and railway line. 

The Scaddan Energy Project has 1 billion tonnes of coal resources and the Blackham controls significant landholdings in the region.
