Targeting a Near-Term Maiden Resource
Located approximately 15 km west of Clermont in Central Queensland, our flagship gold project is situated in a region of large (andgt; 1Moz) deposits with a rich history of gold production.
Moonlight Resources is aiming to rapidly deliver a cornerstone maiden gold resource, leveraging favourable logistics, established infrastructure, and strong local support for new investment.
Location:
Central Queensland, a premier Australian mining region.
Ownership:
100% (subject to completion of the acquisition).
Tenements:
EPM 17698 and EPM 28949
Aiming to Rapidly Deliver a Cornerstone Maiden Gold Resource
The project is situated in a region with a rich history of gold production, where historic drilling has already confirmed strong gold prospectivity. Benefiting from favorable logistics and established infrastructure due to its proximity to well-known mines and production hubs, the project also enjoys strong local support for new mining investment.
Three Drill-Ready, High-Priority Target Areas
Rolf Creek and Leo Grande Prospects: Initial focus on targets within Leo Grande Central and South
Petersons Prospect: Limited historic drilling, with mineralisation open down-dip and along strike.
Oaky Creek Antiform Prospect: Initial focus on Goldfinger, plus Wee Five and Southern Cross
Epicentre of Exploration Targeting Delivery of a New Regional Gold Hub
The Leo Grande Trend features orogenic, structurally controlled gold mineralisation confirmed over a 4km strike length and at widths of up to 60m. Historical drilling has returned significant intersections that provide strong confidence in the area’s prospectivity.
Demonstrated Prospectivity
Clermont’s Leo Grande Trend (LGT) hosts orogenic, structurally controlled gold mineralisation within the Leo Grande Shear, where multiple prospective targets have been confirmed over a 4km strike length and at widths of up to 60m. Confidence in the area’s prospectivity is high, supported by 54 historic RC drill holes totaling over 3,350m and a 2024 Exploration Target released by Metallic Minerals for the shear zone. Any potential future gold hub at the LGT could also be supplemented by drawing from nearby satellite targets like Petersens, Gold Finger, and Southern Cross.
Immediate Resource Potential
near Surface
Historical exploration at Leo Grande focused on shallow drilling to depths of less than 140m. Despite this, the work successfully identified multiple drill-ready gold targets over a 4km strike. This drilling returned many significant RC intersections, including 19m @ 3.35 g/t Au, 22m @ 2.25 g/t Au, 25m @ 1.87 g/t Au, and 46m @ 1.01 g/t Au. Crucially, the mineralisation is only constrained by the limited historical drilling and remains open along strike and at depth, indicating strong potential for future expansion.
