Prolific high-grade Mathinna goldfield in north east Tasmania
Mathinna goldfields host thick sequences of bedded fine- to medium-grained quartz-rich turbidites with shale tops
Mineralisation hosted within dextral strike-slip shear zones with right-hand jogs creating dilatant zones that host the structurally controlled quartz vein arrays
Includes the New Golden Gate Mine with historical hard rock production of 254,000oz at an average grade of 26g/t gold
1914 Geological Survey of Tasmania report estimated that production to date had been between 300,000 and 320,000 ounces
