Gascoyne Resources paid $4.5m in cash and issued 11 million shares (escrowed for 12 months) and $1.5m will be paid after the company produces 30,000oz from the project.

The minority joint venturer partner chose to receive the maximum portion of payment in Gascoyne shares as they wanted to remain associated with this project in future.

The Dalgaranga project is located nearly 65km from Mt Magnet in the Murchison gold mining region of Western Australia. It covers a majority of Dalgaranga greenstone belt.

Discovered in early 1990s, the project produced 229,000oz of gold carrying a cost of around $350/oz from 1996 to 2000.
