About the Company
Horizon Gold Limited (ASX:HRN) is an exploration company focused on its 100% owned Gum Creek
Project in Western Australia (Figure 1). The Gum Creek Gold Project represents an exciting gold
exploration and potential development opportunity that currently contains a Mineral Resource Estimate
of 44.45Mt @ 1.50g/t Au for 2.14 million ounces of gold 1 including Indicated and Inferred resource
classifications in accordance with the Australasian Code for Reporting of Identified Mineral Resources
and Ore Reserves (JORC Code 2012 edition). The indicated portion of the MRE is 28.19Mt @ 1.48g/t
Au for 1.35Moz, representing 63% of the total resource ounces.
In March 2023 the Company announced a Maiden Inferred Zn-Cu-Ag Mineral Resource Estimate of
7.0Mt @ 1.8% Zn, 0.5% Cu, 5.0g/t Ag (2.9% ZnEq) at a 2.0% ZnEq cut-off for 200,000 ZnEq tonnes
(130,000t Zn, 30,000t Cu, 1.1Moz Ag) 2 for the Altair VMS deposit also located within the Gum Creek
Project.
The Company believes the Gum Creek Gold Project can be a robust, viable stand‐alone mining
operation and is continuing work on the Gum Creek Feasibility Study. The Project has significant
upside including excellent potential to extend the 10-year Gum Creek Scoping Study mine life through
resource expansion drilling and underground mining. Underground mining options and economic
evaluation work on the Swan/Swift, Kingfisher, Omega and Wilsons deposits is yet to be completed,
and additional drilling at the 12 open pittable resource areas not included in the Scoping or Feasibility
Studies will likely increase the resource size of these deposits and elevate them to an economically
viable status, further enhancing the positive financial outcomes of the Gum Creek Gold Project.
