Victorian Goldfields
The Central Victorian Goldfields host world-class gold-antimony deposits including Fosterville, Costerfield mines and Sunday Creek discovery.
Kalamazoo’s portfolio is one of the largest tenement holdings in the Central Victorian Goldfields comprising 2,006km2 covering the Bendigo Zone, which has historically produced more than 60Moz of gold and the Melbourne Zone, which demonstrates high-grade gold-antimony potential.
Mt Piper Gold Project
The Mt Piper Gold Project covers 1,522km2 ~75km north of Melbourne and is traversed by the Hume Freeway, boasting excellent access to local infrastructure.
The Mt Piper Gold Project is situated in a prime location, adjacent to Agnico Eagle Mine Limited’s (NYSE: AEM) large exploration land tenure and 30km from its world-class 9 Moz Fosterville gold mine, with Costerfield Gold-Antimony Mine to the north and the Sunday Creek Gold-antimony discovery to the south. In 2022, Fosterville (20.4g/t Au) and Costerfield (12.2g/t Au) in 2022 were the world’s 2nd and 3rd highest grade gold mines (S&P Market Intelligence 13 December 2022).
The Mt Piper Gold Project is considered highly prospective for Fosterville-style epizonal, high-grade gold and antimony deposits. All tenements are considered under-explored, limited to very shallow drilling and not subjected to modern exploration techniques.
South Muckleford Gold Project
The South Muckleford Gold Project is located in the Maldon Goldfield, only 10km west of Kalamazoo’s 100% owned Castlemaine Gold Project.
South Muckleford covers the highly prospective regional Muckleford Fault and adjacent historical workings to the west (i.e. hanging-wall position) as well as the southern strike extent of the Union Hill Gold Mine.
Kalamazoo is currently reviewing its previous discovery of a broad epizonal gold-antimony mineralised system within the project that is analogous to that observed at the nearby world-class Fosterville gold and Costerfield gold-antimony mines
The Maldon Goldfield is the 7th largest Victorian goldfield with historical production of >1,975,000oz (>56t) and 317,000oz (9t) of primary and alluvial gold, respectively*.

Castlemaine Gold Project
The Castlemaine Gold Project is located in a supportive mining region which is becoming increasingly active with significant exploration and development success across multiple projects including Fosterville, Tandarra and Costerfield.
The Castlemaine Gold Project consists of two exploration tenements, EL006679 (“Wattle Gully”, ~70km2) and EL006752 (“Wattle Gully South”, ~218km2).
EL6679 lies immediately east and south of the town of Castlemaine and covers almost the entire historic Castlemaine Goldfield whilst EL6752 lies to the east and south of EL6679 and covers regional geological structures known to be associated with gold potential.
