Growing Australia’s next mid-tier gold producer

Catalpa Resources Limited (ASX: CAH) has two exciting gold assets; a 30% interest in the 100 000+ ounces per annum Cracow Gold Operations, a producing gold mine in Queensland and a 100% interest in the 100 000+ ounces per annum Edna May Gold Operations in Western Australia. With a combined Mineral Resource of more than 1.9 million ounces and a combined Ore Reserve of more than a million ounces of gold, the Cracow and Edna May Operations will provide a sustainable cash flow to fund Catalpa’s growth strategy. The A$92 million Edna May Gold Project is fully funded and Catalpa is confident that both the Cracow and Edna May offer further Reserve and Resource growth potential, with ongoing exploration programmes at both operations.

Edna May Operations is conveniently positioned just two kilometers from the infrastructure of Westonia, on the eastern edge of WA’s Wheatbelt region. The mine is half way between Perth and Kalgoorlie and ideally situated to be serviced by either of these major mining centres. With its robust economics, geologically and metallurgically well defined ore-body, high Ore Reserve confidence and excellent recovery rate of more than 92%, Catalpa’s Edna May Gold Operations offers an attractive, long-term platform to grow a mid tier gold producer. Catalpa’s mine and processing schedule demonstrate average gold production at Edna May in excess of 100,000 ounces of gold recovered per annum for a life of mine of more than nine years, with production planned to commence in June 2010.
