Nuckulla Hill Gold Project
Large-scale potential along strike from Tunkillia
Auravelle’s 100%-owned Nuckulla Hill Gold Project is located 40km south of Barton Gold’s 1.6Moz Tunkillia Gold Project in South Australia’s Gawler Craton, and centred around the crustal-scale Yarlbrinda shear zone. The project has seen minimal active exploration since the 1990’s.
Nuckulla Hill hosts a series of advanced gold targets including:
- Sheoak: 800m strike length, open north, south and at depth, with multiple high-grade hits.
- Bimba: 300m strike length, mineralised to at least 120m depth.
- Myall: Shows strong mineralisation with only limited drilling.
Auravelle is aiming to extend known mineralisation both along strike and at depth with aggressive follow-up drilling as well as finding new deposits.
