Cavalier Resources said it completed its final planned pre-production fieldwork for the proposed Stage 1 heap leach operation at the Crawford Gold Project, about 20 kilometres east of Leonora in Western Australia. The work included initial water bore drilling, access improvements and geotechnical investigations for a proposed haul road and heap leach pad.
The company said geotechnical test pits were excavated along the proposed haul road alignment and within the heap leach pad area. Information from the programme is to be incorporated into SRK Consulting's geotechnical assessment and associated engineering work.
Cavalier said it had improved access from the Leonora-Laverton Highway through a shorter route entirely across company-owned tenure. SSH Mining, its preferred mining contractor, inspected the proposed Stage 1 mining area and development areas, while the proposed Mining Services Agreement progresses towards final execution.
The company said primary mining approvals are in place and that Crawford is ready to commence mining. Cavalier identified securing project financing as its key priority and said it is reviewing available funding options to get operations underway.
