The directors of Dampier Gold Limited announced that the company has acquired two exploration projects located ~100km north of the Kalgoorlie gold mining district in Western Australia. The acquisition comprises two exploration licence applications. Menzies, which lies adjacent to the Menzies gold camp and which has exploration potential for both hard rock and placer gold and Goongarrie, which lies southwest of Menzies and overlies an alluvial covered greenstone belt with exploration potential for hard rock gold and base metals. The Menzies and Goongarrie acquisitions present exciting and cost-effective exploration opportunities for Dampier. The projects both lie within significant mineralized belts where company making projects have been developed from grass roots discoveries into successful gold mining operations.
