St. Barbara management comments
“A key component of our Leonora Province Plan, which we launched in December 2020, was a review of opportunities in the region where we could deliver value.
“Earlier this year we identified that the Bardoc ore bodies are in proximity to the Kalgoorlie-to-Leonora rail line and highway bringing them within economic haulage range of Leonora.
“In combination with our existing organic opportunities, including Tower Hill and Harbour Lights, this acquisition positions us to accelerate the delivery of a multi-decade province of satellite mines feeding an upgraded 2.1 M tpa capacity mill capable of alternating between free milling and refractory ore at Leonora.
“Importantly, our plans for the integration and development of the Bardoc deposits, as well as our other growth initiatives, will be fully funded through future operating cashflows and existing debt facilities.
“The addition of Bardoc’s extensive land package to St Barbara’s leading position in the Leonora province provides a strong platform for the Company to deliver organic growth for years to come. Providing us with an expanded presence in the Western Australian
goldfields.
“This transaction further establishes St Barbara as a growing gold company.”
St Barbara Managing Director and CEO Craig Jetson
