Overview

The Rover 1 Project is a proposed underground Iron Oxide Copper Gold (IOCG) mine located on NT Portion 3556 approximately 70 km south-west of Tennant Creek in the Barkly Regional Council Local Government Area. The land tenure is Aboriginal freehold and the total area of surface disturbance required for the mine is estimated to be approximately 177 ha.

A beneficiation plant for the processing (crushing, grinding, gravity gold extraction, flotation, magnetic separation and filtration of ore) will produce a bulk sulphide product and a high-grade magnetite product for further offsite processing.
