Kookynie Gold Project
The 100%-owned Kookynie Gold Project is located approximately 180km north of Kalgoorlie in Western Australia’s Northeastern Goldfields and hosts an extensive portfolio of historical mines, known gold occurrences and under-explored structural targets.
The Project tenure sits along strike from Genesis Minerals’ 2.23Moz Ulysses Gold Project and includes the historical Diamantina-Cosmopolitan-Cumberland (“DCC”) trend, together with the McTavish, Leipold, Champion, Altona and numerous other prospects.
Importantly, several key prospects occur on granted Mining Leases and are located close to established road and processing infrastructure.
One of Arika’s chief exploration targets at Kookynie is the historical Cosmopolitan Gold Mine, which produced 331,000 ounces of gold between 1895 and 1922 at an average grade of 15g/t Au. During the early part of 20th century, Cosmopolitan ranked as one of the largest and most profitable gold mines in Western Australia.
The Kookynie Project has seen very limited modern exploration across significant parts of the system, with Arika’s exploration designed to confirm that historical high-grade shoots continue at depth and along under-tested linking structures
