Following a 120 percent rise in resources to one million ounces at the Moolart Well gold play in the Duketon region of Western Australia, joint venture partners Regis Resources NL and Newmont Australia Ltd have moved the project a step closer to possible economic development. This view is based on the presence of high-grade laterite resource blocks (over 3 grams/tonne gold) at shallow depths, which are likely to have waste to ore strip ratios of less than 1:1 in any mine development plan. Similarly, high-grade saprolite resource blocks at depths of about 30-40 metres will also have low strip ratios in any operation.
