InterGroup Mining reported in 2024 that The Brilliant Brumby Project covers more than 100 km2 in an under explored gold district of the Charters Towers Gold Province, [as recently indentified by I2M in 2012 (here and 4 mins 12 sec into 2012 video)].
The Charters Towers region has produced more than 20 million ounces (Moz) since being originally discovered in the late 19th century. The gold deposits are known for their large size and continuation to depth.
The best gold discoveries to date are along a prominent 2 km trend called the Brilliant Brumby line. The widespread gold occurrences share similarities to the vein systems seen at the 6 Million oz Charters Towers Goldfield and show potential for more continuous structures with higher-grade gold mineralization at depth.
These gold bearing quartz lodes occur in structurally controlled clusters of 1-2km long and 0.5-1km wide, lying within a 20km long and up to 5km wide NW trending envelope. Within this trend, detailed geological mapping has already outlined 60 quartz vein prospects grouped into 6 areas containing more than 500 individual quartz veins.
Under 10% of project area explored to date
Analysis of the veins and lodes in this high-grade gold system suggests the potential for more focused and continuous gold mineralisation at depth. Equally, whilst significant kaolin resources have been identified over a 18 km strike length, attention to date has been mainly focused just on the Surprise prospect.
IGM and its consultants believe there is considerable potential for more gold and kaolin discoveries given less than 10% of the project area has been mapped and sampled to date.
