The Laverton South Project is strategically positioned within the Eastern Goldfields Superterrane of the Archean Yilgarn Craton, at the southern extension of the Laverton Tectonic Zone (LTZ) – a 250km-long, gold-rich structural corridor.  This deep-seated and long-lived geological feature has acted as a major conduit for gold-bearing fluids, as evidenced by word-class deposits such as Wallaby and Sunrise Dam located roughly 100km to the north. The LTZ hosts a number of other significant deposits, including Granny Smith, Deep South and Red October. 

Recent ‘greenfield’ exploration successes nearby have further heightened interest in the region.  Notably, the Roe Deposit (approximately 23km southwest) and the Rebecca Gold Project (15km north), both now owned by Ramelius Resources, each boast resource estimates exceeding 1.4 million ounces of gold as of 2023-2024. 

The geology of Laverton South mirrors the stratigraphy observed at many of these mineralised zones, supporting the Project’s high prospectivity for both gold and nickel.
