Tamar also holds a minority interest (49%) in the Specimen Hill copper-gold project through its 100% owned Australian subsidiary, Signature Gold Pty Ltd. This discovery was made by previous management at Tectonic Gold and is now being farmed out to ASX listed White Energy Group (ASX: WEC) who are advancing the project. Tamar retains a 3% royalty in perpetuity over the project and is due an A$2 million cash payment on completion of the farm out.
The Specimen Hill Project lies within the New England Fold Belt, locally poorly explored for copper, but regionally, surrounded by major copper and gold mines including Mt Morgan, Cracow, Mt Rawdon and Gympie. Previously recognized porphyry systems at Coalstoun Lakes and Briggs, to the east and north of the Biloela project, represent large lower grade copper mineral systems.
