Konrad Forrest
28 May 2025 | Perth, WA – Black Cat Syndicate (ASX:BC8) has delivered promising drilling results and infrastructure updates from its Paulsens Gold Operation, where pre-production activities are accelerating ahead of a planned restart in Q4 2025.
Drilling at the nearby Electric Dingo prospect has intersected wide gold zones, enhancing the pipeline of open pit feed options to complement underground production from Paulsens Main Lode.
Drilling highlights at Electric Dingo:
-
55m @ 0.96g/t Au from 0m (EDD23022)
-
22m @ 1.09g/t Au from 1m (EDD23019)
-
8m @ 1.13g/t Au from 63m (EDD23018)
Black Cat now believes Electric Dingo has the potential to deliver high-tonnage, low-strip oxide feed, with a Mineral Resource Estimate update planned for mid-year.
Meanwhile, site refurbishment is well advanced, with the following key milestones:
-
Processing plant commissioning scheduled for Q4 2025
-
Accommodation village, camp kitchen, and communications infrastructure upgrades underway
-
Dewatering of the Paulsens underground workings has commenced
-
Revised underground mine plan due shortly
MD Gareth Solly commented:
“We’re on track to restart Paulsens in Q4. Electric Dingo has emerged as a strong satellite feed source, helping us build a robust start-up plan with multiple ore sources.”
Paulsens was previously a high-grade gold producer (902koz at 7.3g/t) and is now being rapidly progressed toward a new production phase under Black Cat’s ownership.
