New Talisman considers joint venture for Rahu
By Ross Louthean
A joint venture is being considered by New Talisman Gold Mines Ltd (NZX & ASX: NTL) for its Rahu exploration prospect near Karangahake.
Rahu has long been considered a potential continuation of the nearby historic gold deposits at Karangahake, where NTL is advancing test work and having stockpiled ore from the Talisman mine treated at Newmont Waihi Gold’s gold plant at nearby Waihi.
New Talisman’s September quarter report reiterated the work and progress the company has made on the Talisman project in the past three months. However, the fact NTL has had another company undertaking a site visit at Rahu, and at some of its other permits including Golden Valley, is new.
NTL said “a significant gold producer” had seen core samples from NTL’s drilling at Rahu.
“At the date of this report discussions on a potential joint venture or farm-in continue to be advanced and an update will be provided to the market in due course,” NTL reported.
Some observers may put two-and-two together by considering this other party is Newmont Waihi Gold, but that may not necessarily add up to four.
New Talisman said that the potential partner may also be interested in unlisted Coromandel Gold Ltd which was set up by the company as a separate entity in 2012.
