Projects
HILL END & HARGRAVES - NSW
COMMODITY GOLD
The Hill End Project is an advanced stage exploration project with a fully permitted processing plant and a Mineral Resource of 485,000 ounces Au.
The Project is in the central west of NSW, Australia, between the major regional centres of Bathurst and Mudgee, approximately 200km WNW of Sydney.
The Projects comprise:
Seven (7) granted exploration licences - EL 5868, 8289, 9247, 9434 & 9413 at Hill End and 6996 & 9485 at Hargraves;
One gold lease GL 5846 at Hill End;
Ten (10) mining leases ML 49, 50, 315, 316, 317, 913, 914, 915, 1116 and 1541 all at Hill End.
Total area of tenure is 155km2 (15,488 Ha) in the highly prospective Eastern Lachlan Fold Belt in NSW.

Mineralisation
The principal gold mineralisation is associated with a series of bedding parallel quartz veins and associated saddle reefs occurring along both limbs and across the axis of Hill End Anticline. The veins occur in the upper part of the Chesleigh Formation and lower portion of the Crudline Group (Cookman Formation) almost exclusively within or at the contact of thin (<2m) siltstone bands with overlying sandy turbidite units. The vein systems are exposed over a strike length of at least 26km from the north of the Bruinbun Granite to the Dun Ailuro Mine
Mineral Resource Estimate
The Hill End Project comprises of Mineral Resource located at the Reward Gold Mine, Red Hill Project and Hargraves Project. Total contained gold stands at 483,000 ounces.
Processing
The Hill End project includes a permitted processing plant at Hill End. The plant includes power generation, crushing, a ball mill, Nelson concentrators, a gold room with furnace and tailing storage facilities.
The Gold of the Hill End and Hargraves Project is free milling and amenable to gravity separation at coarse grind sizes. This gives the project great advantage as cyanide is not required to liberate gold and the coarse particle size to achieve liberation results in low energy inputs. The overall effect is a lower cost of production.
It is these attributes that promote the idea of "green gold". At Vertex, we believe we can build a new gold mine with a smaller environmental footprint than any exising gold operation in Australia.
