Our Strategy
Meteoric is working to unlock the inherent value of its Juruena Gold Project in Brazil, which it acquired in 2019 and plans to acquire the Palm Springs Gold Project in the the Halls Creek Orogen of Western Australia.
The Company has commenced its 2020 drilling program at Juruena which aims to extend the known areas of gold mineralisation and build on the existing JORC resource.
Upon the completion of the Palm Springs acquisition, which Meteoric announced in June 2020, the Company intends to be onsite in August/September 2020 to commence its initial exploration and drilling program. Palm Springs has previously produced 52,000oz gold from the Butchers Creek mine and also has spectacular drill intercepts and historic resources but little modern exploration.
