A sediment hosted syn-orogenic lode gold deposit also known as a shallow mesothermal deposit (Au-Sb +/-W-Ag sub-type).
The area near Hillgrove has over 200 old mines and workings centred on NW-NNW trending faults and shears; although some of the larger structures trend E-W. The lodes are mostly hosted in a 2 x 5km block of meta-sedimentary rocks of the Anaiwan terrane; although some granite-hosted structures occur in the north of the field. The field has mainly been worked for its gold and antimony contents although most lodes contain some tungsten. The mining of tungsten has been restricted to a few minor lodes in the NW of the field; generally during times of war.
Most of the gold is held cryptically in pyrite and arsenopyrite with typical grades of 2-7ppm but local enrichment sometimes exceeded 200ppm.
The deposits were first discovered in 1887 and mining commenced several years later, the area was almost continuously mined up until 2001. ~1.6M ounces (~50 tonnes) of gold, ~150k tonnes of antimony metal and ~1,700 tonnes of scheelite mineral have been produced from the area or are current resources.
Hillgrove is located 30 km East of Armidale.
UPDATE 2024
Mining company Larvotto Resources is in the proces of developing a number of deposits in this area, the Hillgrove Gold Antimony Project.
Highlights of this project:
-The 254km2 Hillgrove Project contains six key mining areas within 48 granted Mining Licenses
-Hillgrove is the largest Antimony Mineral Resource in Australia and is ranked #8 in the world, making it a strategically significant deposit
-Antimony is a critical mineral for multiple countries including the US, EU and Australia
-Measured & Indicated Mineral Resource of 65.5% available for conversion to Ore Reserve.
-Substantial high-grade exploration upside demonstrated by recent drilling undertaken by previous owner in 2022
-Significant capex (~$200M) invested in developing Hillgrove including $20M in past four years
-Operational processing plant & infrastructure (currently on care & maintenance)
-Geological parallels to Fosterville and Costerfield mines – Australia’s highest-grade gold mines
The project comprises: Bakers Creek, Metz Centre, Brackins Spur, Eleanora/Garibaldi, Freehold and Clarks Gully.
