The underground exploration tunnel will allow Catalyst Metals to determine the economic viability of a future mining project at the site.

This exploration approach will deliver more accurate, less costly geotechnical and exploration data with reduced surface impacts when compared to a conventional surface drilling program.

This approval does not permit mining and any future mining activities will require a mining licence.

The Boyd’s Dam Project is located west of Mitiamo in northern Victoria about 65 km north of Bendigo.
