Queen Charlotte

The Queen Charlotte Project is located in the Marlborough Goldfields, New Zealand and is a historically proven gold–antimony district. The project hosts multiple high-grade antimony occurrences within a regionally extensive shear zone system, including the historic Endeavour Inlet, Endeavour East, and Resolution Bay mines

The Endeavour Inlet mineralisation is contained in a NW-SE striking Endeavour Shear Zone that extends for 12kms from Titirangi Bay in the north to Resolution Bay in the south. Endeavour Inlet was mined along 1,500m strike and 400m vertical extent producing +3,000t of Stibnite (antimony) ore between 1870 and 18901

The Endeavour East mine is located approximately 2kms to the south of the Endeavour Inlet Mine where stibnite reef was mined over three underground levels, with both massive stibnite and quartz with abundant arsenopyrite found in the remnant ore piles on all three levels, indicating similar mineralisation styles to that of the Endeavour Inlet mine.

Resolution Bay mine was discovered ~1.5kms to the SE of the Endeavour East mine and comprised a 0.9m thick quartz vein. The shear zone between Endeavour East and Resolution Bay has not yet been explored and will also be a focus in the next field program
