Outline of the proposed programs of work: Clonbinane Goldfield, a wholly owned subsidary of Southern Cross Gold Consolidated is an Australian/Candadian listed gold-antimony exploration and development company. SXGC is proposing a phased approach to the development of the Sunday Creek Gold and Antimony Project. The company has applied for a mining licence over the Golden Dyke mineralisation and is seeking to develop a small-scale underground starter mine designed to utilise existing infrastructure. The initial development phase will not include on-site mineral processing. Ore will be transported off site to a third-party facility for the production of a gold and antimony concentrate. This staged approach is intended to support the progressive evaluation and development of the Project while minimising the scale of initial surface infrastructure and operational impacts. Whilst a mining licence grants SXGC rights to the mineral; a mine work plan and a planning permit is still required to enable mining to commence on the licence.

Any person may object or comment to a licence being granted. (Section 24 and 24A, Mineral Resources (Sustainable Development) Act 1990).
